In turn, Corral is unable to sign with another team until the designation has been lifted. He can, however, return to the Patriots at any time. So if he's not needed for an upcoming game, he could just wander off while still being on the team and presto, a roster spot opens up!

Really trying hard to make something out of nothing.

Seems to me, we, as well as KOC, have been dealt a pretty shitty hand the last 13 months or so.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2024 11:20:55 AM)
I don't know about that Ricky. One could make a pretty compelling case that they brought this on themselves. They extended KC's They drafted Hall They brought in Mullens They brought in Dobbs They didn't inherit any of this QB mess unless you want to say KC's but they could have gone a different route right off the bat. To me, the only shitty hand they've been dealt is the JJM injury.

At the least, draft a Rattler or Milton or something similar late in the draft this year to compete for a PS spot this year (with Corral). Mullen is here because of familiarity, not anything else. There have been a lot of journeyman QBs the last year or two to audition over the offseason / training to push Mullen. I think Darnold was a good risk, I'm excited to see if the change is going to do him good. Putting all our eggs in the Darnold basket however (since our structured draft prospect plan is rigid regardless of his performance and timeline) was not a good decisiion. IMO

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2024 12:49:33 PM)
Good stuff, Jeff. Shitty deal to me is we will never know how well last year would of turned out - both sides of the bias will probably always be miles apart on this one; and I for one am glad that's over. Maybe not so shitty in you can find a good percentage of people that will say JJs injury will not not necessarily have an impact on his overall results. And I agree, not related to this topic per se, but we do get screwed on a year of experience as it relates to money it's going to cost in the end

To me, the only shitty hand they've been dealt is the JJM injury. Exactly! They were not dealt any part of that shitty hand. They are 100% responsible for every QB they have as well as the tail end of KCs stay. Instead of being dealt a hand, it's like they rifled through the deck and intentionally picked the four worst (remaining) cards.

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2024 12:55:42 PM)
Regarding journeyman QBs I think they're all a crapshoot related to how will KOC turns out to be as a coach. Id be in favor of trying something other than Mullens for sure, though

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2024 1:08:21 PM)
Darnold - Scrap heap type. Dobbs - Man that was a fun couple of games! Mullens - Really he's not even journeyman level, best known for throwing an interception while on his ass... to the defender tackling him! Hall - Basically they threw a dart at the draft board. Corral - Never played a game but wandered off the reservation, got entirely off the grid, only to resurface after pulling a George Plimpton stunt with some USFL team.

Made a preseason GD thread… Not invested much in this game now… Just hope no one else gets hurt.

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2024 5:05:51 PM)
Im more than ok with Cousins being gone. Especially ok after he couldnt even think about putting the team ahead of his contract. But to me, and I really don't care how anyone else feels, last year was a shitty deal for me. Another year down the tubes - and it all started with the achilles injury. Before that we had a shot to good things - not much after that ...

. . i can't help but to consider 2025 when assessing this year's vikings' roster.... my takeaway from preseason so far is that we have to keep Cine, McGovern, richter, Trish Jackson, rouse, and Jurgens - after last night i'm thinking that cine can start this season - it would be nice to get two seasons out of him and then there's the 5th year option that we'd have to decide on - I know we were all ready to cut him 24 hours ago, but wtf!!, the dude balled out last night...10 tackles, 1 interception, 1 sack.... cine and mcglothern are both 6'-2" - flores likes db's with length, and cine has remarkable speed, too.... and very possibly keep jeshaun jones, gabriel murphy, others.... possible trade candidates: cam bynum - we'll probably lose him next year anyway, pat jones, andre carter, others.... i could see flores moving brian asamoah to strong safety/metellus's spot - he has good speed and size for that, and it might be his best position - i'm not saying he'll replace metellus, but he could be next man up....

Sorry Tom, I guess my reply was more directed .. in my knee jerk/ irl jerk way at the “option” to resign KFC..

Normally I'd be like eh those guys are scrapping for the bottom of the roster/PS. The 'whatever' crowd. However, why not do everything possible to determine if these guys have some level of baseline ability. If they do then take a leap, replace at least some of the incumbents with them, then coach 'em up (nod to Beap Chastard McCombs)! Definitely agree on looking to 2025 (and beyond) but the regime's track record suggests they will do whatever they can for wins today at the expense of the future. But as they are evaluated, this year would seem to indicate the grade is INC due to McCarthy's injury (in that they can't get any barometer on how he plays).

Yeah the common thought is McCarthy's play will determine Kwesi's future because of the importance of the QB position, but based on draft capital expended Dallas Turner's play is the barometer.

Cine showing is even more out of the blue. When it comes to the vikings, I’m never right about anything. They annhilate ever expectation.
