Are there any Baker Mayfield/Randall Cunningham type reclamation projects out there that could serve as a bridge on a one-year deal?

A lot of the usual suspects … minshew mariota brisset taylor lock winston teddy

The old mentor types flacco ryan foles wentz

I’ve had this illogical itch for Minshew based on his mustache fans … that wore off but I wouldn’t mind getting that out of my system.

Flacco would be my next candidate but can’t imagine him holding up if we draft a new guy that has to sit.

Not that you're advocating for it but I would be a "no way" on Flacco as a bridge/backup. He's really no different than Mullens and we've seen that trainwreck.

Two goals for Kwesi:
- Draft (what turns out to be) a successful QB
- Finish getting the cap situation under control

Extending or resigning Cousins does not fulfill those goals.

I’d sign bridgewater and dobbs….maybe bring wentz and foles in for a look….

Can we bring in an unsigned player for a workout - now?

How about Cousins, Mullens, and Hall?

No? I’ll tell you what I’ll do. How about adding a 3rd to 5th round QB to battle Hall for the 3rd spot/practice squad?

I may be wrong but I don’t see signing any older expensive QB, not just Cousins, as a solid option for a team trying to build and strengthen itself across the board with younger players. With not a lot of resources.

He’s just a sentimental choice at this point.

Speaking of which, how about this misleading headline from Daily Norseman: Russell Wilson potentially "intrigued" by Vikings.

The so-called article (by Christopher Gates) goes on to repeat what was written somewhere on ESPN then used in the headline: Don’t be surprised if Wilson, should he become a free agent, is intrigued by Minnesota...

I do not and never will understand the fascination with stat- boy mediocrity…
Excuses are all his promoters have..
But look at his stats..
no look at his career win%.. look at his playoffs record..
His fn stats are MEANINGLESS, without critical wins.
Resigning that POS to an extension is THE WORST IDEA Since stone hands / zero ball awareness Troy Williamson for Randy moss..

We are a QB starved franchise. We at times thought Ponder, Teddy, and Case were saviors. Fans will jump aboard the next QB train fast and furious as they did with Dobbs after a game and a half.

Christopher Gates used to be a Vikestalk "contributor" years ago. He was posting 24 /7 primarily while serving in the USAF as a weather-guesser instructor of sorts. He was IMO arrogant & obnoxious most of the time. Like some of us I guess[:D] He apparently went full time w/ Dailey Norseman as columnist. I don't follow him & I don't miss him.

Just remembered his poster name was Gonz.

So if Hall, Dobbs, or Mullens was the QB you are satisfied with that? It is more Pro Capable than Pro Kirk. Draft two and don't sign Kirk; that would be sufficient for me. Another is sign Mason Rudolph and draft one. A solution isn't signing Kirk or drafting one. It is having 2 capable QBs on the roster.

The lets draft a 1st round QB isn't a solution. There are plenty of Josh Rosen, Zach Wilson, etc. out there as well as Teddy and Ponder to see it.

So if … you didn’t put non existent words in my mouth … I could respond to your post fairly.

What I will be satisfied with is a better team moving forward. I rant constantly about Cousins but that’s more about me over-reacting to posters, not being obsessed with Cousins … I think he’s actually the smaller part of the equation, on a one year deal or not.

Any…ANY!! Money thrown into that rat hole of KFC, for any reason, will bring me ZERO JOY.

WE already have to pay kingsitsalot 28 million over the next three seasons of dead money…

How stupid is that?

Exceedingly.. STUPID.

I'm starting to believe Cousins could end up in Atlanta.

If Belichick takes the job it makes a ton of sense. They have a solid defense, some nice weapons on offense and tons of cap space. They don't have a legit QB.

Belichick will be 72 when next season starts. He's not going to want a rookie QB. He's going to want to win now.

Cousins' wife is from Atlanta and that's where her family is. It sounds like they may already have an offseason house there. Kirk is about two things: money and feeling comfortable. Atlanta could give him both.

Totally agree. IMO Atlanta is a prime candidate to draft Penix at #8. On the surface at least it will be good news if Belichick signs with them. Any number of teams, including Minnesota, might want to trade up to that pick, and I can see Belichick being fine with a trade down.

Two Capable QBs plus probably Hall is the point (No battle lines, no putting words in anyone's mouth) and I don't care how. That is Pro Viking and the Pro vs Sans group isn't the issue; we haven't had 2 capable QBs on the roster since Case took over for Sam.
