Just a thought.


Recommended Posts

I've been mulling this over and over for a while now. I know Rivera wants a QB that at least is in the mold of Cam Newton. I know that no one will EVER be like Cam, Derek Anderson can run the offense but not like Cam.

The route to be taken to solve this matter doesn't necessarily have to be through the draft. Jimmy Clausen is an after thought. Anderson may be gone as well. Don't know yet. So this brings me to what I was thinking about as a solution. It all depends on what the Vikings do...Why?

Do you remember Joe Webb? Yes, Joe Webb. The QB that was actually not bad against the Eagles. Upset them.

Acquiring webb would be the dilemma. I personally don't like giving away draft picks, but what exactly could we get this guy for? a 5th rounder? 4th maybe? Right?

Would he be someone you'd want in a Carolina jersey? I personally wouldn't mind it. Who knows maybe the Vikes will let him go?

Would there be any other player that emulates Cam that you'd want to back up Cam? If you say Wilson let me tell you, we already have a 5'11 QB that throws like him and he's playing Wide out right now..

Just thought I'd change the subject, to much D-linemen talk.

I suppose if he came cheap... We really don't need more than 2 QB's on this team. I kind of like Anderson holding the clip board though. So on second thought I have to say no. But your signature GIF makes me want to say yes.

I love Joe Webb. I don't think we will be able to get him from the Vikes. I know they use him in certian packages. I thought he was going to be the starter or at least start a few games and play well but they drafted a QB and that pretty much told us that the Vikes don't believe in Webb for the future.. I thought he showed some flashes of greatness his rookie year. I would love to trade Clausen and a 6th round pick for him but I doubt we could get him.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
