NFL Playoffs

It's going to be very interesting to see where Darnold ends up next year.

The teams who don't get their QB in the draft this year, might just decide to stick with whoever they have next year and say screw it, we're going for Manning.

If you bring in Darnold, he's going to to be good enough to make sure you're not getting the #1 pick.  So if you're the Raiders and you can't get one of the 2 QB's, do you just roll Aiden out there again next year instead of trying to go with someone like Darnold?

If there's one tiny solace for Darnold, Vikings fans are already used to their team letting them down in the playoffs even when they have a great season. Remember, they were 13-4 a few seasons ago and they lost to Daniel Jones of all guys.

    • There is usually one annual glaring perceived need that we ignore for the most part. But I think the defense’s performance was poor enough to warrant a pretty major overhaul sans Brown & Horn. Trevin should hopefully stick and Jewell+Wonnum should still be here, but the rest is pretty much up in the air. Futures of Tuttle, Robinson, Woods, Jackson, & Shaq are unsure even considering some contracts. Seems like a decent IDL FA and draft to add from.
    • I guess you could look at it this way:  There is a LOT invested in Bryce right now. Do you continue to make sure that his development is improving, or do you abandon that momentum and salvage the defense?  He is good, but he does NOT have that big name, big time WR.  Going to get a WR we can call a #1 is probably stupid right now.  Here is why: Higgins and Godwin, the two top options in free agency, imo, are #2 WRs who got a lot of balls because Chase and Evans were the focus of the defense--I think the system made them better than they would be here--without a #1 to give them single coverages and no safety over the top.  THEY would suddenly be the #1, and their numbers would fall.  What would their salaries be based on?  Production in other cities.  It rarely works.  Most top WRs in free agency to go places with top QBs--we'd have to overpay the market then overpay the performance.  Most if not all of the top free agent WRs were often the second option during the pre-snap reads or check down processes.  Put him in the #1 WR shoes, he is more likely to struggle.  Some key questions I ask myself: What is wrong with having 5 WRs who can catch the ball and no single person as the true #1?  Imagine a group of 5 or 6 WRs featuring well rounded, talented WRs.  Not a Rambo knife, a steak knife, and three butter knives--A Swiss Army Knife.  Let the #1 emerge and develop on the roster-- What would benefit Bryce more--a #1 WR or a stud #1 TE and a good WR with a good defense? I understand the knee jerk reaction to give him weapons--but be smart about it.
