Well then you'd think they would embrace a rebuild? Not sure how much sense it makes giving out a huge contract like that for a team likely to not be anywhere near contention.

If another team swoops in for McCarthy, would MIN pull the trigger on Pennix or NIX at 11? I sure hope not. Who is swooping in though? Denver? LV?

Oh well.. they'll be battling with Chicago for 3rd place in the division for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said, but the longer this went on the more it felt like Cousins was gone. It really sucks his last play for us was him tearing his Achilles against you guys. He was lights out in that game too and it looked like we were going to turn our season around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the cap spiking, I'm not sure that it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 11 minutes ago, PossibleCabbage said: One of the funny things about the Falcons signing Kirko is that the market for Justin Fields is now basically nonexistant. The Vikings need a QB, but the Bears aren't going to trade him in the division, the Falcons are clearly out on Fields, so who's left? The Broncos can't afford him, the Steelers are signing Russ. Maybe the Raiders will get him cheap? Patriots maybe if they want MHJ. Doubtful tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 23 minutes ago, SteelKing728 said: Stopgap + rookie I want Flacco and McCarthy Yeah, I figured McCarthy. Seems like Ponder all over again. For where you would take him, it'll be a reach. But I'd say that about McCarthy, Pennix and Nix at this point in time. Just seems like the music stopped playing and Minnesota is left without a QB. In your opinion, what does this do to Jefferson? He going to want even more money to stay, or is he on the move? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just feels like the NFL has correctly evaluated Justin Fields- good kid, nice tools, is slow to see it and won't rip it if he's not sure. He's basically Marcus Mariota- great college player who struggles against NFL defense for reasons of timidity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 35 minutes ago, SteelKing728 said: Stopgap + rookie I want Flacco and McCarthy I would almost do what the Bears have done the last two years. Sign your core young players, and eat any and all bad cap money right now, then come out of it with very good draft capital, a young team, and a bajillion free agency dollars. Packers are going to have to start paying good players pretty soon. Bears have a lot of holes, and who knows what will happen with their 3rd lotto pick QB in the last 5 years (or whatever it is). And eventually the Lions are not going to follow the rah rah of the coach and take a step back, like all motivational speaker coach types do. The timing of Cousins' injury put the Vikings in a no-man's land as far as this draft goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that these guys would be better if they just had some Rex Grossman to them and let it rip? Maybe like a Sherman coached Favre? Either throw 4 TDs or 4INTs, but it will be fun to watch.
