There isn’t a Tag though unless he goes all the way. Need resources for the rest of team and they spent on a QBOTF. If the cap was clean it would be one thing but 2024 was a rebuilding year to clean cap for 2025 and not use it on a qb unless he does extraordinary things. It has been that way since the beginning of 2024.

That Sam-I-Am! That Sam-I-Am! I do not like that Sam-I-Am!

I cannot win them Sam I am
I cannot win big games goddamn

Can you win them in Detroit? Their banged up Defense can you destroy it?
I cannot win them in Detroit, that banged up Defense I can’t destroy it.

I cannot win them Sam I am.
I cannot win big games goddamn.

Can you win against the Rams?
I cannot, will not, Sam I am.

Todd, you do realize that the Detroit defense has been banged up for 10 weeks, right? They are 14-1 in the past 15 games. I'm not sure if you realize this, but they're really good.

Really interesting topic just came up on NFL Live. They were talking about Watson's injury. According to him they are 68 in the red for the salary cap next year so they HAVE to go cheap at QB (this assumes he's done for all of 25).

His take "I would be on the phone with the Vikings as soon as the season ends and see what it takes to get JJM. They have 2 assets that may temp. Miles Garrett or the #2 overall pick."


Would you do either or 1 and a combo of something else?

if it came to trading mccarthy, i'd really try to talk the NY giants into dexter lawrance and their 1st, and 2nd....

but i'd rather trade darnold....

LOL. You guys place a lot of value on a guy with zero pass completions and one knee injury.

We draft a guy in the top ten. A year later, without ever completing a pass, he is suddenly worth a great player, a first and a second?

How does that work, exactly?

Because he would be the top QB in this year's draft.

LOL

And so teams are suddenly going to overspend wildly for a guy that was supposed to be a late first/early second round pick the year before? I got news for you, the Vikings drafting McCarthy at 10 was a wild jump to begin with.

I will say this. If they let Darnold go and McCarthy is the starter next season, don't be surprised when they finish with 7-8 wins. As a Maestro, you don't just turn on the lights and lead the orchestra. Even though Darnold had bad experiences in New York and Carolina, he had experiences. You don't get those wearing a knee brace and holding a clip board. McCarthy won't be facing Maryland or the Gophers, with a far superior offensive line in front of him.

IF McCarthy is the starter next year, I would guess 7 or 8 wins sounds about right (then again I was thinking about 4-13 with Darnold).

I would expect a step backwards, and am ok with that, as long as a Super Bowl is won in one of the following 2 seasons. McCarthy gives me promise, I am only going on feeling that he has the 'it' factor.

Unless Sam makes a big turnaround and wins the next 2 games, the Detroit game gave me the feeling that he doesn't have the 'it' factor, enough so that I am willing to go with the unknown, not Jaren Hall, but the 10th overall pick in the draft, JJ McCarthy.

Mild Card weekend so far.

For the last half the 4th qtr Tomlin looked like he was constipated. Had a haunchy stance like he was trying to use gravity to help things along.

I didn't really like it that Dan Campbell said "See you in 2 weeks" to KOC. He is getting in KOC's head, showing that he is a step ahead.

I wish KOC had responded to that with something like "If it's in 2 weeks, or 3 weeks, I guarantee you'll see a MUCH better Vikings' team than what you saw tonight".

You would too if you had to chose between Wilson and Fields I'd rather start Mullens. Seriously.
