  1. They tried losing that lead and just couldn’t deliver
  2. When was the last time Jeffers got a hit in a game that counted
  3. Yeah! A lager focused brewery. Rare
  4. In all seriousness, Stowe Vermont is a lovely place to visit
  5. Some say the modern athlete is made in a lab. It just happens to be the Corning institute of glass i kid
  6. Michael Lorenzen: 1 year, $4.5 million deal with the rangers. Too expensive for the twinz. Maybe they can still get Rich Hill on an AARP discount!
  7. Exactly right. Paddack did a great job in the playoffs, but he had a grand total of FIVE innings last season. Absolutely nobody here has any idea how he’s going to fare as a starter. He’s started 5 games in the last 2 seasons..
  8. Anytime someone would get on Ryan for being inconsistent/underwhelming, it was always said that he was a back end of the rotation guy (3 at best), nothing more. Now he’s the 2 and a whole bunch of question marks come after that. They knew this going in and didn’t make a big move.
  9. A lot of hope/trust being heaped on Varland as a starter. I don’t know. Maybe I missed something.
  10. Doesn’t say too much about the state of things if we’re considering Rich Hall a desirable starting pitching candidate. No offense to the man but he’s 44 Giants just signed Snell
  11. Duran is on another planet compared to those guys. Sounds like 6ish weeks for recovery. Then figure the rehab/ramp up time probably needed for a guy who throws 104 in violent contortions…we probably won’t see him til nearly June. 1/3 of the season
  12. Mullens > Darnold lol
  13. I’m sure they’d be giving up a first rounder to move up though, correct?
  14. Trade up and waste picks for a team on a rebuild. Or draft one of the fringe talents and force him in earlier than he should be in when Sam Darnold or whoever is completely horrendous. Remember, some fans can wait a couple years for things to work out. The GM and front office have their jobs on the line and Kwesi doesn’t exactly have a long leash. I worry the Vikings are setting themselves up for the classic continuous rebuild, hoping to hit on a quarterback through the draft. As tenuous as it can be to always use free agency to find a quarterback, at least you know what you have. Not an enviable situation.
  15. Sounds like a law firm
  16. I agree that the 13-3 season was essentially worthless because they couldn’t even win one lousy game. I also thought they could have tried trading cousins when they were 1-4 (maybe they did?). I brought it up here but he probably wouldn’t have accepted a trade anyway. Hey we’re all forgetting about Nik Mullens. For all the flaming he got, I would take him over Darnold or any of those other guys you mentioned. In a second. I think one thing last year taught us is that there’s a maximum a QB can suck before he becomes dangerous. Hall was there already. Darnold might not be, I don’t know
  17. I only see 3 guys taken 20-32 in round 1 (Lamar Jackson, Jordan love, Kenny Pickett). So, fewer top 10 guys by numbers but better odds of that makes sense? I’m too tired to look at round 2 but I doubt there were many hits
  18. I don’t want the next (?) years to be an open sewer. And they probably will be now.
  19. But it is though. I mean, I don’t know what arbitrary year you want to start from, but especially lately as teams have overreached at the draft, there are a whoollle bunch of QBs taken top ten who have not sniffed the top 1/3 best guys in the league. Ever. Dont forget, Mitch trubisky was taken 2nd OVERALL in 2017. That was the year before Mayfield Darnold and Josh Rosen all went top 10! http://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/positions/qb
  20. Judging by the last 5-6 years, the odds are more likely that you’ll get a middling at best quarterback in the first ten picks as you will one ranked in the top 10 of the league.
  21. I mean to be fair, you brought up the #2 pick in last year’s draft as the proof that rookie quarterbacks work out. When the #1 pick in the same class was god-awful
  22. I didn’t want him gone. Sorry, the word should have been competent. Not average. Is darnold competent, judging by his career?
  23. Tell me about the 8 top 10 guys you didn’t mention. I’ll do it for you: Bryce Young: 73 passer rating Anthony Richardson: played 4 games before missing the season Zach Wilson: backup, maybe out of league this year Trey Lance: backup Daniel Jones: average at absolute best Mayfield: almost out of league before his best season Sam Darnold: yuck josh Rosen: out of league
