I'd hate to be a vikings fan these past years...good but never good enough. Better off being terrible for a short time for the right picks

You rather win and be middle of the pack then set yourself up for long term success? 

How awful the league would be if every team used that approach. It would be unwatchable.

Only a few QB options to draft every year, and the list of #1 overall taken at QB isn't great. Cam, Kyler, Mayfield, Goff, Winston, Luck, Bradford, Stafford. It's a team game with a much more coaching involvement than other sports so it all plays a part, but it's not like getting Lebron or Jordan solves all your problems at the NFL level

What if 2 teams were trying to tank at the same time and faced each other 

Here you take the ball

Nah , go head 

No, I insist 

That's ok , you deserve  it more 

 There is the endzone, and you are to fast for us

Yeah, but I just fumbled it so you guys can scoop and score 

Yeah, but we just couldn't pick it up, go ahead and score 

Nah, we just can't 

1000 years later....

Please go ahead and score 

Nah, you first

Only on the huddle does someone chime in trying to speak up for Kirk Cousins lmao. Guys you don't have to shield mediocrity anymore it's a new day. Old habits die hard I guess.

What do you think the market rate is for a mediocre starting QB? This ain’t the 1960s. Derek Carr just signed a $150 million, $37.5 million/year contract. He’s at best in the same tier as Cousins, although statistically he has had a far less productive career. Jordan Love has done absolutely nothing so far in 3 seasons and got a $13.5 million contract. Thinking that a $10 million salary would scare people off from trading for a Cousins-level QB is just silly…there’s no need to get defensive. I’d be more put off by whatever assets they were probably asking for in the trade, rather than paying his relatively measly $10 million salary.

I’ve seen people saying he has an average arm, average athleticism and even some saying he has average processing. 

Well the first two shouldn’t be considered silly. His arm is average for an NFL QB. As is his athleticism. His processing, however, is said to be elite.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
