Who will be QB1 for the Vikings next season?
Absolutely not you need to stop Chad you do not trade Jordan Addison
Do we want to trade for chat podcast getting out of there give me a yes for getting out of there. Give me a infant. No let them stay. I say why yes Guinea out of there.
If the Vikings don't make a big splash ( Borrow ect) Cousins would be perfect!! No ego and would school JJ. OTHERWISE, here comes Rodgers. JJ, has a long way to grow, IF HE EVEN STAYS HEALTHY!!! DONT TRADE ADDISON!!!! Jefferson will be freakn triple teamed
The reality is that Kwesi & KOC set the team back years, by their own making and given a strong division with 3 other very good teams, it will be like climbing Mount Everest to get back to the playoffs. There is no viable QB option that would instantly make them a contender other than highly unlikely options of Burrow & Stafford! It is possible that Rodgers who should have been signed last off season could find the fountain of youth for one more year, but otherwise it is going to come down to JJM, improving tremendously, which is unlikely given his historically bad production this past season. Patrick, you always say we need a QB that can get over the hump and win playoff games. Everyone is kidding themselves if they think JJM is going to make huge strides to lead the team not only into the playoffs but making it deep in the playoffs. For anyone who says the Vikings almost made the playoffs this season, you are delusional because JJM’s performances at the end of the season was only moderately competent against horrible defenses, and the Packers who played 2nd & 3rd stringers!
Joe Burrow is going nowhere, Lamar Jackson is going nowhere, Mac Jones would cost a second round pick and he is not known for throwing the big chunk plays that KOC likes. Where are the QB's that are going to create this talented depth the Vikings are talking about? Jalen Milroe, Geno Smith, Kenny Pickett, Jacoby Brisett, Jimmy Garopollo, and Kyler Murray are all flawed QBs that would bring more to the table at this point than Max Brosmer but I don't see another Darnold out there. If they draft another QB I pitty him because KOC and the Vikings don't have the patience for a rookie QB.
8:46 Trade Addison & Keep Nailor!!!! Trade J.J “He’s a Whimp” Look @ ALL THE HARD HITS WENTZ TOOK EVEN AFTER BEING HURT!!!! I’d be HAPPY W/COUSINS!!!!
I’d much rather have JJ playing than Kirk, and JJ gives us a better chance to win if KOC actually caters the offense to him.
Kirk cousins will be our qb next year
P
Honestly I kinda want Rodgers for a season. He proved me wrong this year. I don’t think he’d do much playoff wise but honestly I think he could help JJ grow. Learning under an MVP QB would be amazing for his development.
JJ is our guy!
Give Flores Assisant HC and 7 Mil per year!
Should’ve traded Addison last year when he had more value!! Everyone in the league knows Addison is a head scratcher off the field. Constantly in trouble and now getting numerous suspended games. Just can’t keep this guy.
A BIG Hell No to Kirk as we all saw this offense needs a mobile QB and Kirk was never interested in helping any other QB. Had enough of his Non- Leadership a straight Uncharismatic Bore.

Would love to see JJ change over the winter…get rid of the face paint, tone down the "rah-rah" and become a silent professional…keep your trap shut until you earn it…act like you've been there before.
Jj mccarthy looked good in the last few games, granted some of them were low tier defenses or even backups but he was still looking good, he’s gonna develop this off season and i think we bring in kirk on a small contract if nothing else for him to retire, but he’ll be a great backup/competitor for the starting position, and he’ll have knowledge jj can use
with joe burrows each guy would get half a season by injury!
I love Addison but, he needs to go. Speedy will get even better when Addison is gone!
I'm hoping kyler Murray
I use Harry's deodorant love it but use electric razor
Man if we can get something real decent for Addison, get rid of him, but he's amazing man will miss him alot
TTTT Addison is an anchor
Trade everyone, need a new team
PLSSSS JOE BURROEW 🥺🙏
I will buy real NFL jersey!!!.
TAKE THE HEADSET AND PUT IT IN THE DUMPSTER
How about the Vikings hire a new qb coach, fire koc, promote Flores have him choose the oc he wants. Flores can be the head coach and dc and the oc can just take care of the offense. Hire daboll or McDaniel Vikings owners have to grow some balls. All the other teams are and stick with McCarthy as the starter with a quality backup option. There you go
JJ will be the QB. Let’s check back this coming fall and all of the naysayers can go be a bear or packer fan.
JJ McCarthy has shown his skill at the next level nobody goes to the Superbowl in their first year but the games he has played he exceeded expectations
What were the Vikes thinking by hiring Kwesi??? There are no football teams in Africa so why was he hired? Kirk did well when he first hired but bombed in the later games.
I believe JJ will quickly show he is the guy next season.
I like the Addison trade to move up for downs
i love that idea of making Flores also asst HC! hope this happens
I'm not all-in on KOC/:
Don't have a qb in Minnesota if you think we do then you don't know football
T
Not cuyler please, not for that kind of money.
Trade get some picks
