It does no good to harp about why we have KC. And he has a $41 million dead cap hit next year. With a $31 million charge, he could be released but it's very doubtful.

Geez, it's like JC yelling for months about not accepting mediocrity. We get it. Why piss in the wind?

It would be the perfect year to draft Lance or Wilson.

Sit for a year(Mahomes did) and become starting QB in 2022.


Agreed... especially if they lose out.
I would be ecstatic if either Lance/Wilson was drafted... but not overly optimistic about it.

I guess 2022 is supposed to be a good QB year as well... the lament of the Viking fan... chasing the dream of a franchise QB.

Wilfs could see what Dabo wants.

Maybe Bieniemy.

I would stop pulling for the Vikings instantly if Dabo were the coach. I think he's probably a decent guy overall, but a massive bloviating hypocritical cliche-meister who thinks everyone has to be just like him and his kind.

Hardest of hard passes.....

I must have missed something.

What does "his kind" mean?

Essentially people who agree with him about everything, and conduct themselves within narrow parameters. Not necessarily strict racial, religious, or political alignment, but not far off, either.

I would doubt he is a racist with all the close relationships he has with his players.

I'm guessing he is Christian and is not a Liberal. Is that the problem?



You mean like Thomas Jefferson's close relationships? Or like coming over to his house for bible study close relationships?

If there are some allegations, show me. If not, quit making stuff up.

I don't agree with Phil Jackson's politics or religious beliefs at all, but I'm glad he coached the Lakers to 5 titles.

I had to chuckle while typing that too
By far, the most times I scream out biblical terms in a week, is during Viking games
There's other "words" sprinkled in, but hey ....

No need for allegations, DNA is adequate.

Yes. He could be the MLK of his generation if he(and others of influence) pushed Father/Family Man narrative. It would change generations.

He seems, to me, from a distance---but with a megaphone---like he falls into the broad swath of Americans and human kind that I call "otherists." We see it in here, and I'm sure at times I practice it in ways I may or may not be aware of. It doesn't have to be racial, religious, or political, but it often is, at least just below the surface. I just know that I've read enough cringe-worthy quotes from him over the years regarding how grateful his players should be that they're not burdened with making money off the game, politics, religion, etc. To be clear, I've never heard anything directly racist, and I've seen some great things he's said. But even those things seemed mere pablum from a cliche-meister like him. Maybe I'd be swayed by closer examination, but my suspicion is that it would be the opposite. He also seems like too much of a personal control freak to get NFL players to buy in long-term.

is overpaid, but have little choice for another year.

OL and play calling a bigger problem.

Bottom line is that Cousins is not worth anything close to what he is being paid. He is also not close to one of the ten worst QB in football.

Name 10 starting quarterbacks that are worse.

Mullens

It's actually closer than I thought:

Better than:

Saban was on his way to turning around the Dolphins. What might have changed had they taken the chance on Drew Brees' shoulder. I believe Saban was on board with going for Brees. Imagine Saban with Brees and Wes Welker battling the Pats for years.

I think Darnold is debatable. Give him a year with a good team and lets see how that plays out.

I'd take Smith over Cousins. He's way tougher, mentally, and his teammates love him. I'm not sure the team respects Cousins. He seems like a loner on the sidelines.

Burrow is not a debate. He's already better with garbage around him. Tua, the jury is still out but he takes way better care of the ball so far.

Carr is the opposite of Cousins. He takes too many chances. At least he looks like he's trying.

At the end of the day, the QB needs to take care of the ball and Cousins is horrid at it.

I hope that's what the Giants did last night. That had to be the worst fake I've seen since the Colts tried that one vs the Pats.

The design was genius, split out everyone, snap to your punter and give him 3 options to throw to: the center, another olineman and the kicker. The Giants play hard for Joe Judge and he seems to be an up and comer, but how did he sign off on that one?

I'm a fan of Darnold, he's had some horrible luck. Between the Jets being a terrible organization from him contracting mono, losing the entire oline last season, losing all of his receivers to start the year.

Maybe he winds up with the 49ers.

Smith has actually pushed the ball downfield a little more than in the past, I guess he's banked enough dough to start taking chances. Kirk stands in there more than check down Smith does.
