I figured you liked him more. Patrick Mahomes is another PM, prolific like Peyton Manning but can use his legs and is unreal with his arm angles, and in all commercials.


We loved it when our guy was in all commercials with Peyton but everyone else hated it, like we despise Mahomes and Baker Mayfield for being in so many commercials. I knew of so many non -Colts fans who felt Peyton walked on water in Indy.


 

Lol. I love Bakers commercials

It's pretty much accepted that Denver is interested in making a big move, either for Wilson or Rogers. 

 

 

Okay, if they feel they are ready to win, they can make the move. Hopefully Denver GM Paton learned something from his time with us. There is no reason to panic and sign a veteran QB. Wilson is younger; so, that I would make. Rodgers is nearly 40.

Where did you see that? Pat McAfee said the colts were very competitive in pursuing him but the cost was too high.

 

Kevin Bowen, I believe, has said on his radio show that Ballard was not "completely sold" on Stafford.

 

If they really wanted him, they could have out bid the Rams. They didn't have a ton of draft capital left based on some the trades they had made even before Stafford.

I don't think they are panicking at all. They are simply in a win now mode, and Teddy isn't the guy. They have a top 10 D, 2 good RBs, Sutton, Patrick, Jeudy, and Fant. They're only lacking one thing.

He was seeing his head coach demanding he trade for Wentz.

 

Unfortunately, whatever the reason, it was an error in evaluation which doesn't reflect well on either guy and we still have questions at the QB position.

I would take what Bowen says with a grain of salt. He is just another media head that says things for clicks, views and listeners. Staffords wife was looking at houses in the Indy area we were one of the final 3 teams in the trade. Rams outbid us, it became to expensive and we pulled out. How could Ballard not be sold on Stafford but sold on  Wentz he is not that dumb

haha I knew you were going to go there, putting down Teddy.  I said it a few weeks before -- I think Teddy should retire.  That said, I still think Denver should get a young QB, not a 39+ year old guy. JMO

Rodgers isn’t going to a division with both Mahomes and Herbert, IMO. 
 

AFC South and NFC East have the least depth in QB play, he’s going to one of those divisions, IMO. I can see him going to the Steelers who have a good WR corps too with the Ravens and Bengals having good QB play but not sure it’s as good as Mahomes and Herbert.

Sorry, it's just obvious right now lol. I know you like him, and I don't mean to offend. 

 

IMO, they don't have time to waste on a young QB developing. They have a window. 

 

Teddy should stick around. He's a great #2, and can continue to make good money.

So many Vikings playing well for other teams. Mike Hughes is with the Chiefs too.

 

Mike Hughes was our Philip Dorsett. He was drafted late in the first round like Dorsett was. Fans were so upset that we drafted yet another CB when we needed OL. We missed out on many guards like Austin Corbett who we saw with the Rams earlier. I think Orlando Brown was also in that draft.

Bills look tired. No one trying to wrap up and just whiffing hard. Gonna be real hard for Buffalo now. 

I kept saying I felt this whole year for Buffalo was about getting back at the Patriots. They absolutely demolished the Patriots but didn't look as dominant in other games

I'm impressed by KC. I figured the bills would control this one


If Mahomes beats Allen, it’ll be like Belichick and Brady getting the best of Peyton early on, Reid and Mahomes getting the best of Allen. Sean McDermott, like Dungy, is not someone folks expect to out coach too many.

Bills actually need another outside weapon opposite of Diggs to compete with KC. And a better running back.


They have the weapons but when teams play pass against them they need to be able to run

 

Did you see that weapon named Davis? :)  It’s not last year’s Bills with Davis, Knox, Sanders in the fold.

I know. You and I are similar in that we like to play Devil's Advocate and we get ourselves in trouble. 

 

Denver should go for Wilson over Rodgers. Wilson has at least 6 more years.

 

I want Teddy to have a future. He has had too many concussions. I have worked with those with cognitive impairment; it is awful. When you are young and have cognitive impairment, it is awful.

I think AR would go to any place with a top 10 D, good OL, and great skill players on O, that will pay him a premium. 

 

Steelers need to simply rebuild. They have a good RB and two good WRs, but their OL and D suck. They have some good pieces on D, but they need to get better in several areas. Their secondary is just plain bad (bottom 10). Their OL is plain bad (bottom 10). 

 

AR would never, ever, to to an OL ranked in the bottom 10. Denver's OL isn't top 10, but they are much improved, and none of the positions are overly bad. And I'm sure they'll be looking to upgrade again this offseason if they can land a big QB. AR's quick strike arm would make Denver's OL look better than they are, but he's not fast enough to make Pitt's OL look good.

I told my brother that he should join us here and that the folks here are big fans of his former Syracuse Orange player, Marvin Harrison. I asked him if he knew Harrison when he was at Syracuse. He said no. He said Harrison left before he got there. (Harrison is several years older than my brother.) My brother said he knew Keith Bullock, McNabb, and Rob Conrad. I don't  remember Conrad but I remember the name.

I like Teddy, I just don't think he's a starter if you have deep playoff aspirations. He'd be the best, or near the best, backup though. 

 

If I'm Denver, I'd go AR. IMO AR does not look to be slowing from age. I'd easily take him over Wilson right now if we're talking a 2-3 year contract. Wilson just hasn't impressed me the last couple years. I've mentioned several times before, but I also think Wilson and Ciara won't go to any place outside Seattle unless it's a town like LA, NY, or Miami.... or some other big time town. Denver is a cool town, but I don't it'll be their destination of choice.

    • If Jones is on some special list, I’m not even sure he has to be at the Raiders facility.      I think you’ve made some very good points,  some very good ideas.   But I don’t think anyone has to pick my view or your view.   I think both can be achieved.   In my version, Jones would still be a Raider, but not required to be at the facility.   He could be seeking the treatment you talked about to try to rehabilitate his life and perhaps his career.      I know my view is pie in the sky, but I’m in the mood to try to dream big.   Wishful thinking.   Sorry, I have an over developed sense of right and wrong.   It doesn’t always help….    
    • Looks like a tuff week and multiple toss up OT games    Atlanta      19       Jax      21 OT Dolphins    44.     Buffalo 32 *Vikings.      23.     Carolina  24 OT    * I think Vikes should win but by losing it will expedite Cousins to Jets, which I think the NFL favors?   *Denver.     16.        Chicago    17 OT       *Broncos should win but losing gets Payton closer to drafting Caleb, a very  desirable destination for the next super star QB   Ravens        23.        Brownies.   20 *OT    *a more traditional OT score for @VikingsFanInChennai    Steelers       19         texans     10 Rams            26         Colts       29 Bucs             25         Saints.     24 OT Washington  11.       Philly        30 Bengals         29.      Titans       28 Raiders.        26        Chargers  29 *Patriots        16.       Cowboys  17     * not comfortable picking cowboys but a loss could make Belichek/Kraft start thinking about Caleb    Cards           11.           SF.         26 *KC.               25.          Jets       02    *KC should romp but jets need some wins if their trading for a QB.... but still have a hard time picking jets in this one.. Refs will need to be at their best for jets to win unless Mahomes plays along lol   MNF Seattle.            16.        Giants 17 ot   Best Bets Miami Steelers Eagles 49ers Chiefs
    • I was not a fan of the NFL during old times, but I've heard a lot about Fran..   I'd be okay with Cousins if the guy can think properly on football field, otherwise he's consistently elite in passing stats and never gets injured and misses a game. Only problem is he doesn't have the greatness between the ears to win it all for a franchise who has never won a Super Bowl.   If older Vikings fans ever want to see a trophy, the only way is to draft a franchise QB and hope it works in next decade or so. It's better than being good for 8-11 wins and an occasional play-off game with Kirk.   If he goes to say, Seahawks, and finish his career with all time records, the franchise at least has got SB win recently so they could be happy with some great exciting games with Cousins.   Vikings owner needs to focus on only thing - a Super Bowl trophy. For generations of fans who have never won it all. 
    • Understand... but why do you say that Jones will ever have to face his HC again?   Would you just like him to be placed in reserve list and the franchise releasing him by the end of the year or contract?   I think releasing him would do similar favor as he could get the help he needs and get back to NFL proving he's healed mentally. As he's a great player, some team would get him next year if he's back to his old self.   He can still salvage his career but more importantly he needs his family to take care of him and get the assistance he needs. I think releasing him would make him focus on getting back to NFL if he wants, or at least let him free to heal and move on towards next chapter in life.   Team could've placed him on a reserve list, I don't think there's any problem doing that technically, but either way he's been done a favor to get back to focus on his health.    He could still receive pension, retirement & veteran benefits from the league, right?
