The only thing I've stated is that it's no guarantee they improved at QB over last season going forward when everyone is assuming they did. aright. There's a distinction between stats and production better than last season and talent and level of play better than last season. Keenum had the stats but didn't really scare you in any given game. Cousins with that defense serving it up for him is gonna be better than Keenum last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as always. Meanwhile, scaredy- cat Pack fans will wax eloquently on about how improved they are, how good their players are, how awesome Zimmer is etc etc. It won't matter - it never does. They've been the most talented team many times but they never put it all together and always find new and interesting ways to screw the pooch. Sometimes its a whiff from 27 yards, sometimes its a whiff from 39. Sometimes you wonder why they even ponder passing there, after all this ain't Detroit. Why waste a good diaper by loading it with purple-tinged soil ? I do hope they have a decent season and knock off some of the other NFC challengers, but I ain't worried about minny being their at the end, they won't be And Zimmer isn't signing guys like Richardson because he thinks he has an shutdown defense, he's signing Richardson because he watched Newton, Brees and Foles carve up his beloved defense at the end of 2017. I'm still trying to figure out how they can afford Richardson after giving Cousins a king's ransom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing for his job every week. Now he goes to DEN where he'll be a bridge QB to to whomever they draft - which if I had to guess will be the kid out of Wyoming.

Keenum wasn't even a 4000 yard passer last year and had just over 20 passing TDs. Cousins had more yards and TDs in each of his last 3 years. This last year he did it without any help. His group at WR last year was probably the second or third worst in the NFL last year (Chicago with their injuries was probably worse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The Vikings are only signing so many free agents because they're afraid of what Rodgers is going to do to them. Jokes aside though, it's like I said... The Vikings will challenge to go deep in the playoffs as long as they don't get punched in the mouth hard enough or two games in a row. They're going to be a damn tough team to beat early in the year, so I hope the NFL saves our matchup with them for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Bademosi just signed with the Texans. Not that I wanted him, but he's another one gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenum played very well most of the season regardless of whether or not you were scared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packers Select Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 You all remember when we talked about FA RTs, and then bluesuede came in with that beautiful one liner about "The thing about FA RTs is that, those tend to love their own more than others..."

Shanedorf Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Speaking of FA's This is hanging on the wall in Gute's office: "The most important thing is this: to be able at any moment - to sacrifice what you are, for what you will become " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 O/U our chances of landing Tyrann Mathieu? He did say he wanted to go to a team with a winning tradition and it's not all about money for him, so that betters our chances, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his season was good. 3500 yards and 22 TDs in 14 starts (15 games played). In a passing league with those weapons, it wasn't all that impressive of a season IMO. He surely played better but to expect Cousins to have one of the worst seasons of his career with the best weapons he's ever had isn't all that realistic IMO.
