Outside of yesterday, Dart hasn't been that bad in his first 10 career games. 13 TD, 5 Int, 1835 yards.

If Manning was in the draft you definitely take him. But I'm not so sure the top QBs in this draft are potentially that much better than Dart. Just saying they could go with Dart, trade down, and get some additional high picks.

Then again, they are 2-13.



Yup. I've read a couple articles talking about the haul they could get if they trade out of #1 just because it's a one man show at QB. I think most project that Moore stays in unless they win it all so that leaves just Mendoza.

Well I wanted the vikes to lose to Detroit so we could get the 4th place schedule next year and a higher draft pick next year. So right now we will pick 17th I believe.. take best cornerback or safety with our first pick

Guess the good news on schedules is Det played a 1st place schedule and we played a 2nd place schedule, but their opponents currently sit at .491 and we are at .517. A delta good enough for two draft positions (15 vs 17). So there is fluctuation, although sure not likely as much as in 1st vs 4th place schedules.

As an aside, sometimes a team needs to play a tough schedule to get over a psychological hump or gain confidence. A forged in fire kind of thing. If Minny was truly in the running for the SB, I'd want to see them play a tough schedule.

Record wise, if we were 7-9 we'd be #13. At 6-10, we'd be tied with Cincy for #10. Although the Kwesi factor makes all that meaningless.

Bill you nailed with the Kwesi factor!

Going to be some serious tanking by teams towards the end of next season. Arch Manning is going to be a stud.
