Idk, they are in the super bowl two years in a row without big time WRs. Especially one that's going cost ~32m/yr. Mahomes is getting the Brady treatment the rest of his career, I would imagine lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, but after the Favre/Rodgers talk, it's just hilarious how their stories are so similar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjon1990 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The most correct answer is to trade for Aaron Rodgers. He did his Jets stint. Time to go to Minny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Dan O says to trade Jefferson to the Patriots for #3 to draft whatever QB is there. I thought of it as a possibility but now i KNOW it's a bad idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodeeWater_Cheezburger Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 They need to get the best QB they can get in the draft. If they like one of the top 3 prospects, I'd trade up for one of them. If there is a prospect who they like just as much who falls to #11, all the better. What it all comes down to is that you need a great quarterback in this day and age. The Vikings have been fooling themselves thinking Cousins would ever get them to the promised land. They need an upgrade. If they want to resign Kirk for a year, that would be fine. Then, they wouldn't need to rush the rookie into action too fast. At the end of the day, however, it's time for them to find their QBOTF and move into the next era of Vikings football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you recover if your other HOF Packer quarterback went to Minnesota and schooled the Packers? That would be a bitter pill to swallow, especially if he helped them win their first Super Bowl.

At the end of the day, however, it's time for them to find their QBOTF and move into the next era of Vikings football. In theory, this would make the Vikings an ideal landing spot for a "high upside" young QB that they can sit and develop for a year or two. The AAron ---> Love model. But there are a few things standing in the way of that. 1) How confident are we that Cousins will even be willing to sign a 1-year deal? I think that at his age, especially coming off a significant injury with an uncertain future...he's going to want more security than that. So that kind of moves the timeline around, depending on what that looks like. If he wants a 2-3 year deal? Hmmm...And the same things that will give him real "security" in that deal, tend to make a contract very difficult to trade. 2) How willing are the Vikings to use their best asset (high 1st round pick), on something that isn't going to help them compete next year? It was super controversial when the Packers did it, and ultimately pissed off AARon to the point he demanded out. It's really going into next year with one arm tied behind your back. If that's the plan you indicate to Cousins...will he even want to re-sign? If you're only sorta tepidly half-in on him and next year's team. 3) Given their whole situation as a team, they've got a lot of important guys who aren't getting any younger. Which kind of harkens back to point #2 above, where...at some point, does it not make more sense to just bring back Kirk and try for another couple years. Add what you can with a high pick in this draft. See what you can do...where Cousins has proven plenty good to at least get the team to the playoffs if he's healthy. From there, you never know. Any Given Sunday and all that. Then in a couple years, Kirk is done and gone, a lot of other roster turnover is probably impending. At that point, maybe you dive right into a full on rebuild, probably secure a very high draft pick and shot at a top QB prospect who is probably more ready to step in then anyway. Does that not make a lot of sense team-wise and even just from a business perspective to keep the owners happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
