  1. Nobody has talked about that I've heard that Ty Felton didn't even get into the game much at all against the Packers and that's a game that didn't mean anything and wouldn't have been nice to evaluate him?

  2. Mackey: The Vikings won 9 games with an awful quarterback
    Also Mackey: I'm obsessed with that awful quarterback and want him to be the future

  3. Phil, I understand where you're coming from when you use the "this team won 9 games with terrible QB play" thing, but I'm getting deju vu because it feels just like "this team made Sam Darnold look like an All Pro, so JJ McCarthy will do just fine".

  4. Any franchise that wouldn't hire Jim Harbaugh when he was an option wouldn't consider John Harbaugh either. The decision makers aren't worried about championships. Ours or anyone else's.

  5. Tai Felton take is trash.
    He absolutely is a heck of a gunner.
    Dallas turner was always great, and playing behind great players. Patience and time showed you that.
    He was a first round pick… it’s year 2 for him.
    Tai Felton was drafted (the very end of the comps) in the third. That’s such a low percentage hit that you all are wayyyy to early to be down on.
    It’s honestly pathetic, and I mean that in the most respectful way. The most complex aerial scheme in the league is KOs. There is no X, there’s no slot. All receivers are expected to play every role in Minnesotas offense, and you have two first round picks and a 4th year wr playing ahead of him.
    Write this down… Tai Felton will be our wr 3 next season. And will break out in some noticeable fashion.
    He will ascend beyond this after 2026, when the Viking trade jordan addison and become a significant part of Minnesota passing offense.
    5th round grade… all of you need to go watch his tape and then Effin WAIT…. Egg on your face

  6. Why in God's hell would we want kirk cousins ! You guys ? I'd take the kid from Uw River Falls that just won a natty rather than kirk "fall down" cousins. Cmon stop the stupidity.

  7. Sam Darnold smears his trophy in KOC's self loving face. Deservedly so. KOC is an absolute joke and will be fired by the end of next season. WAKE UP PEOPLE, he's wasting the best talent we've ever had, minus AP.

  8. First of all Sam Bradford was traded for after a devastating injury to Bridgewater because of an injury to our quarterback we had no leverage and Sam Bradford former number one pick had tons of talent. Why would you trade a second-round pick or first-round pick on Mac Jones for a 1-year rental you should be fired not only doing that but for thinking about that SMDH 🤦🤦🤦.

  9. Hell no, no Cousins.
    Why don't you admit that KOC is a fraud, Kwesi and the scouting team should be fired. JJM is possibly a bust. Complete failure from top to bottom.

  10. Kik would never come back unless he knew he was a starter for at least two years. We would be very smart to bring him back. If you just took the games for the Falcons when Kirk was the starter going forward and he was semi healthy in e played well enough to have the team be 13-3. That is with perhaps the worst offensive coordinator in all of football. The Falcons actual record was 10-6 in those games but the kicker blew one, the refs stole one and his receivers had 3 straight drops when they were going for a game winning field goal. Cousins did his job but circumstances beyond his control cost the team 3 games. I will take 13-3 any day. Hell even 10-6 wins that division going away. The Falcons cost themselves 2 division titles by benching Kirk. I think that the new coach will keep him and win the next 4 division titles with Kirk leading the way. Write that down!!

  11. Reports estimate Peterson spent over a million on guest travel alone, with the overall birthday party totalling millions, plural. Couple years of financial stability, Judd? Try a lifetime.

  12. KOC is more likely to lead the Vikings to the Super Bowl than John Harbaugh. John was despised by Ravens fans for being an absolute failure, given the amount of talent he had been given. John was handed a top-5 QB, a top-3 RB, and a defense bursting with talent, and the furthest he could make it since Lamar got drafted was the AFC Championship Game. He choked away multiple massive leads against bottom-dwelling teams. Teams that want Harbaugh are stuck believing that it is still 2012 and he has just won a Super Bowl. It is currently 2026.

  13. What is everyone’s obsession with cousins? No we don’t want him back he didn’t do it for us as a starter why would you want him as a backup get someone who can push jj and make him better not learn how to collect large sums of money with disappointment behind it

  14. Love Kirk coming back here…As a BackUp Darnold will do Darnold things and Seaturds will be 1 and done Whoever signs Mac Jones is going to regret sooner than later
