SemperFeist Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 16 minutes ago, Purplexing said: For those suggesting a possible 'doomsday scenario' where the Vikings miss out on top free agent QBs, how could that happen? Which teams would sign which QBs? Start with an assumption that Denver signs Keenum. Which other teams needing a QB signs a FA QB, and which ones don't sign a FA QB, but draft one instead? What does Rick The Pickumulator have left to chose from in free agency, and is there an opportunity to draft a QB after other teams pass on one because they signed a FA QB; e.g. Jets sign Cousins and don't draft one at #6, etc. For the doomsday scenario, let’s go with the reports that Denver is signing Keenum, and, for this hypothetical, let’s assume that Cousins goes to New York. It’s very possible that guys like Bradford and Bridgewater could end up in places like Buffalo and Arizona. Neither Buffalo or Arizona are in prime positions to draft a QB. Buffalo has made some nice moves to take a run at it, but they’re still sitting outside that comfort zone. And neither Bradford or Bridgewater are going to be seen as long term answers, or solutions, at the QB position. So, signing them likely doesn’t prevent a team from drafting a QB. That would likely leave someone like AJ McCarron as the only remaining option, in free agency, for the Vikings. As for the draft, it could still be tough to land a QB. It’s really a 4 QB race (Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold, and Allen) in the draft, with maybe a couple of solid developmental guys (Jackson and Rudolph). You can safely bet that the Browns will draft one at either 1 or 4. The Giants could easily take one to sit behind the 39 year old Wli Manning. Miami is reportedly very interested in moving up to nab a QB. Buffalo and Arizona could look to grab their heir apparent (assuming they sign a FA QB). Then you have teams like Pittsburgh, New Orleans, and New England who could be wild cards, looking to find their QBotF to learn behind their veterans. A doomsday scenario is very unlikely, but it’s not u thinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I got a weird feeling AJ McCarren will end up our starting QB next year. Make it stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 These Podcasters get too much attention, when they really have nothing to say, but this is how they make money, so not too vex about it. People gotta eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If the Vikes miss out on Cousins, I think they will take a look at McCarron. Wonder how much Keenum is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If Cousins signs else where ... we should let Teddy sign elsewhere as a starter ... retain Bradford (2 year deal) .... and trade up in the draft high ... sign no free agent QBs (like McCarron whoh would offset comp picks, and offer no high ceiling, nor high floor). Get two 3rd round comp picks for Cousins & Teddy Get one 5th round comp pick for Jet (we'll need these comp picks after giving up a boat load to move up from #30 in the draft). Use Cap space on Suh (DT) ... move #30, 2nd, 2019 1st, 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 11 hours ago, Purplexing said: The point you are missing here, for simplicity, is that 4 of the top 5 QBs lost or never played in the SB that year. After sleeping on it, I still don't get why you say this. I considered there were 23 years in the free agency era, therefore 23*5=115 top 5 QBs. If the SB was won by a top 5 QB 15 times, a top 5 QB would have a 15/115=.1304 (13.04%) chance of winning the QB in a given year. How does that not consider that 4 of the top 5 QBs didn't win it in a given year? It takes into account all 115 top 5 QBs through the 23 years whether they won it or not. (Top 5 QBs to win a SB) / (Total top five QBs) = (chance any given top 5 QB won the SB). To me that does not miss that 4 of the top 5 QBs did win it. It takes into account all 100 instances of a top 5 QB not winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 $28M is at least palatable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It would certainly make sense. If true. Stafford got $27M, Garoppolo got $27.5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford got $27M, Garoppolo got $27.5M Which means that Rodgers will be the one to get $30M, because he's, at the bare minimum, $2M per year better than Cousins....if it were feasibly possible though, he should get $35M per year compared to Cousins' $28M.
