In fact I’d guess more often than not the best QB from a draft isn’t the 1st one taken.

Right, because there might be 10 QBs taken in a draft, odds are that the best one of the other 9 is better than the 1st one taken. But more often than not the 1st QB taken from a draft is better than the 4th QB taken, which is the point he's trying to make.

IF they got Penix, might they move Darrisaw to RT, O'Neill to LT ?

I think the Carolina trade was a poor man's Herschel Walker trade.

Let's sequence the elements of your plan: - Tank, in large part by trading your best players for draft picks (basically bottoming out) in order to get the top pick. - Fix the rest of the team that just had the worst record in football so as to not "wreck" the yet to be drafted QB. - Draft said QB. - Immediately play this QB in the miraculously rebuilt team so as to not waste a year of his rookie contract. If that is an 'idiotic interpretation' of your two-year plan, please correct the idiotic parts.

How is that Josh Dobbs decision looking right about now? Vikings starters in 2023. Dobbs, 3-2 (had JJ for about 15 minutes total) Cousins, 4-4 Others, 0-3 You guys were so quick to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Dobbs was easily our best quarterback over the final eight weeks of the season (sadly, BTW). He gave us the best chance of winning three weeks ago when he was benched. He gives us the best chance of winning this weekend. All of that is on Kevin O'Connell. Our head coach has run out of pixie dust.

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/4/2024 9:08:36 AM)
I get the notion of building a team then getting a QB who you project to be good, but it takes a few years to get there. And every acquisition will not pan out. Before someone points to the best team draft ever, the 1974 Steelers with four Hall of Fame players, note that they went 11-3, 10-4, 10-4 in the three years prior to that draft!

Mullins was probably the best if he'd just stop throwing the ball to the other team Of couse one of the reasons Dobbs was benched was he was turning the ball over too much and couldn't run the offense. Mullins could run the offense but you can count on him turning the ball over multiple times a game. Hall is just too raw. Deers in headlight say Hall is clueless.

To trade your best players for draft picks (basically bottoming out), forego drafting a QB you like now for a crap shoot next year, somehow 'fixing' the rest of the team, drafting a QB next year, then immediately playing him in the quickly rebuilt team so as to not waste a year... well, that's the stuff found exclusively in the realm of dreams. and in general it's the program of teams that tend to have longterm losing and failure. You draft the best guy NOW. I've said it for years. QB is the most important position in sports. You draft one every year. Through sheer volume you will have a far greater chance of hitting on one. If you hit on more than one you have a fallback and trade value. It's such an important position that burning a draft pick on one every year is acceptable imho.

Dobbs first 5 quarters - 55 points / 0 int Dobbs last 13 quarters - 37 points / 5 int

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/4/2024 9:39:14 AM)
The one "good" thing about all of this is that the Cousins and Hunter situations will be done and dusted (one way or another) before the draft so we will have clarity on what they're thinking. My best guesses: The ink Cousins to another 2-3 year deal and take a defensive stud at 10-ish (rush end or CB) The don't and take best QB available at 10-ish or they move up to get that guy after they work out a deal with Hunter I can't see both guys coming back. You could make the case that it could happen if Cousins signs a team friendly deal but we all know that aint happening.

You are looking at it all wrong....look at what the Vikes have done since TJ and Murphy/Wonnum got hurt. We haven't moved the ball since TJ was hurt 3rd quarter of Detroit game and teams have finally figured out the defencies of our defense w/o Murphy/Wonnum.

Our Offense side isn't shitty though until Kirk, JJ, Addison, TJ were injured---and we have 0 run game. The defense really wasn't until the Murphy/Wonnum injuries showed how thin it is.

Brad H -> RE: General Vikes Talk (1/4/2024 9:59:17 AM)
BTW, I have never seen a quarterback more careless with the ball than Mullens. Dobbs was light years better. At least two of Dobbs' interceptions were off deflections.

In other words, Dobbs was responsible for about three turnovers in 18 quarters of play. I'll take that any day over what we saw the past three weeks. Mullens was an absolute disaster. Hall had no business in an NFL game. And lets not forget, Dobbs had JJ for about 15 minutes. You can't overlook that. He was literally the only guy that could make a play outside of Addison or Hockenson. Teams did a quick study and found out they needed to contain him to the pocket.

He may have been expected to be on a spot and ended up hanging himself out to dry because he was late to the spot. It was a timing pattern. Any crossing patterns will come with some risk. Brady hung his guys out to dry every game. He was the master of the crossing pattern. His guys played injured, continuously. JJ shut it down because he's a soft diva, IMO.

quote: ORIGINAL: David Levine quote: ORIGINAL: Todd M Going with Mullens. You got this Mullens…go deep! I want to see 12 turnovers. If we're going to flame out, flame out BIG. Of all of the available QB's in the league, Mullens is the guy that Kwesi and KOC handpicked as the primary backup to Cousins. I get it that he's a backup but is he really the best that they could find? The odds of your starting QB playing all 17 games is pretty low so having a solid backup seems like something that should be a high priority for an NFL team.
