Yup, NFL needs to drop a ban hammer at some point. This guy should be the guy.
-
Yup, I in no way endorse the above....but I'm braced for it. -
Penn St. and Allar were supposed to win the national title. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/45585366/2026-nfl-mock-draft-miller-early-first-round-predictions-quarterbacks-32-picks https://www.reddit.com/r/NFL_Draft/comments/1kgfx05/top_100_consensus_prospects_for_the_2026_nfl_draft/

I'll plant a painful seed: 1B - Bell 2B - Lee SS - Arcia 3B - Lewis LF - Keaschall CF - Buxton RF - Wallner DH - Larnach Don't shoot the messenger....but I don't buy for a second that this guy is going to be holding down the fort in St. Paul.
-
The Raiders are really the only threat IMO.
-
It's hard to say. This time last year people thought guys like Klubnik, Allar, and Nussmeier were surefire top talents. Now they're career backup hopefuls. I think the transfer portal and the nature of modern college football has made long term projections much, much harder.
-
With you on Mateer. When I've watched him play I see a really good athlete with an underused arm.
-
It just goes to show that simply because you have billions of dollars doesn't make you a smart person.
-
At least one. I'd bet two....hard for the Cards to text with their thumbs stuck in their butt.
-
I agree about his mindset. To me it's about how are the Vikings presenting the job and I think any presentation of "full stop. You're a backup paid like a backup" is a lesser job than Cousins will have on the table. If the Vikings bill it as a 1A/1B, true competition? We've given up on JJ IMO.

Harbaugh out in Baltimore
-
A bridge QB is still a starter. If the Cardinals sign him it is to start week 1. Why would Cousins come here to hold a clipboard if an option to start exists for him? Like Nick has been saying, there are simply too many open jobs and not enough competent dudes for him to settle for a backup role IMO.
-
If they do...they've given up on McCarthy. This would firmly plant for me that this team cares more about not winning 3 games than they do about winning a Super Bowl.
-
What a coaching job by Shanahan.
-
I'm a Johnson fan too. There are a lot of linebackers to like in this class.
-
Honestly? Rodgers likely would have afforded KOC the luxury of continuing to call pass at an over 60% clip. Teams that can't run the ball, control the clock, and give their D an edge lose in the playoffs. I don't think it's a coincidence our defense found another gear at the same time KOC dusted off the run call portion of his playsheet. I hope it's an enduring lesson.

Sorry, but does Kwesi really know what he's doing?
TheLeviathan replied to DocBauer's topic in Minnesota Vikings Talk
I liked the idea of beefing up the trenches but Allen was given way more than placeholder money. At the end of the day your execution of a good plan still matters and the results don't match the price tag. Beyond the utter failure to eval anyone we've taken in rounds 2-4 (total disaster)....that whole FA plan was predicated on a ready McCarthy. Who screwed that eval up? -

It's all interconnected with why I have serious skepticism about anyone who suggests this team ends up with Burrow, or Jackson, or Stafford, etc. 1) Last year's spending spree to fill the holes of three poor drafts is going to force them to eat a lot of dead money to get under the cap. Doable? Sure, but significantly more difficult after the offseason was a lavish dud. 2) They don't have a pool of nice young players to attach to a deal to get that QB. You might be able to structure it like the Goff for Stafford deal if you're lucky. If you can afford to do it under the cap. 3) If you do manage to afford all the dead money to have spending room AND open up enough for a QB1 salary....what's left for a roster that needs at least one LB, at least one CB, a safety, probably a TE, a C, two RBs, 1-2 DTs and most of those guys will need to be starters? Like...how do you buy that many starters on a shoestring budget? 4) Oh.....and pull all that off with the 18th pick instead of the 7th pick or something else higher in the order. All can be traced back to 2022, 2023 drafts being almost a complete waste and the 2024 draft remaining a major question mark. (Turner looks good) -
6 vacancies. 4 are absolute trash jobs. Falcons situation is riding Penix and his wobbly knees. And the Giants and the concussion bros. Good luck.
-
Definitely nailed the problems. IMO - handling the residents here with kiddie gloves and infantalizing your coverage of your pro teams isn't the path to generating fans. Also, you sweet summer child, it's May-October.

Like living in a blast furnace for 7 months of the year.

I actually do like Gannon. It's not his fault Murray sucks and he inherited a team that was built by the worst GM (Keim) of the last two decades. That said, the chatter down here for weeks was that Gannon was coming back. Phoenix is truly just a pathetic place, I feel bad for the natives who don't know any better. The sports media is awful. Their teams are awful. The entertainment centers are awful. They just glaze themselves in hopes people will like them when the only redeeming thing about this place is "not cold".
-
I don't think he had a bad team....he ran into a KC and Cincy playoff bloodbath for his peak teams. I don't know the comp for that? Manning with Brady?
-
This pretty much exactly what I think too. Which means we're probably both idiots.
-
I don't know that I agree on NO and CAR. Shough and Young have both had big moments, I'd stick that out another year in both cases. But you're right....there aren't enough starting QBs to go around. I think people are going to have to lower their expectations on how good that backup is. Think like....Zach Wilson level.
