I like hating on Kirk Cousins as much as the next guy but he would easily be the best QB in the NFC North. Vikings are absolutely loaded on offense, I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if Harbaugh transforms you guys into the best offense in the league. The defense isn't too far off either. I'm not really aware of what your current cap situation is but if you guys can figure out a way to get another edge rusher to pair with Danielle Hunter and draft another DB or two, you'll be set I've been saying for weeks the Vikings are by far the best job available this offseason and Harbaugh choosing to go there when he could have had any job he wanted proves that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 You guys were nearly a top 10 offense last year. Imagine how good you guys can be with an actual modern day offense instead of the 97-98 Broncos offense you guys have been trying to run 20+ years too late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Same here. The offense was potent despite Mike Zimmer's "run the ball even if it isn't working" philospophy. Injuries hit the defense hard. There certainly are holes in the roster (CB/LB/OG), but this is not a team that is far away from contending. Especially if Rodgers leaves the North (likely the NFC). NFC Quarterbacks are currently (assuming Rodgers goes to the AFC): Cousins, Stafford, Wilson, Murray, Lance, Fields, Goff, Love, Hurts, Prescott, Daniel Jones, Heineke, Ryan, Tampa TBD, Carolina TBD, Saints TBD. Playing in the NFC North, the Vikings have a legitimate shot at the #1 seed because the West will beat up on each other and the South and the East teams are closer to each other than the NFC North teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think your OL is as bad as you guys think. Cousins just isn't mobile in a league that values mobile QBs more than ever. With Harbaugh they definitely have a shot at reaching a Super Bowl within the next 3 years. I dont know how long he will be there because he's kind of a prick and tends to wear guys down but there's no doubt about his ability to coach.

SemperFeist Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Good for Klint. He’s probably going to be a solid OC in 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our interior OL was probably made to look better by Cousins. We give up substantial pressure up the middle. That wasn't because of Cousins' immobility (which is a concern). I do think Cleveland is a solid piece, but Center and Right Guard need to play better or be upgraded. Too many times Udoh/Cole/Bradbury just let guys blow by them. But yes, this roster, in this division (without Rodgers), is good enough to go on a deep run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 From all these reports out, it sounds like Harbaugh has the seal of approval from the football people in the building. Now he needs to win over the public relations people in the building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what he's listed at but the guy looks undersized. Replace him with someone beefier and it'll be a huge benefit for Cousins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Guts Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I'd expect we have a coach today or tomorrow, whether it's Harbaugh or somebody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
