A team we didn't have a LOL thread for. But now we do.
Dawn Mitchell @DawnAtFOX9
.
@stefondiggs says he’s frustrated, not happy w the Vikings offense. Says he’s spoken to everyone & is always a team first guy. He says he hasn’t personally asked for a trade but when asked if there’s truth to the rumors he wants a trade Diggs says “there’s truth to all rumors”
Also, LOL at them paying $84M guaranteed to Kirk Cousins. Glad we weren't dumb enough to do something like that.
-
I still don't think the Cousins signing is a bad move. Yeah he's expensive for his level of performance. But he's a legitimate starting QB. Not a top 10 one but not bottom 10 either.
By signing him they're able to go BPA and build a competitive team around him while eventually looking for a franchise QB to develop. Considering how expensive talented QB's are to draft and the degree of luck involved, I think the Cousins move was a good one

Except...we were. Thankfully, Cousins didn't want anything to do with us.
Make no mistake, Duff was ready to bend over for Cousins.
-
Cousins was a product of no other options on the market when he was a free agent and a lot of teams needing a QB that bad. I never wanted him, we can think him indirectly for getting Darnold.

They built a team ready to compete and all they were missing was the QB. Now they have a team ready to compete and all they're missing is a QB and $28M a year.
The Cousins move has been an awful one.

Yep. Cousins has been a disaster for Minnesota.
He was never great, but he was better than this. I think the pressure of the contract is getting to him a bit. That would have surely been the case here, too.
If we signed Cousins, we probably would have been able to draft:
- Quenton Nelson/Josh Allen at No. 6
- Braden Smith/James Daniels at No. 37
- Dallas Goedert/Donte Jackson/Connor Williams at No. 50
- Rock Ya-Sin/Jawaan Taylor/Greg Little/Greedy Williams at No. 34 this year
If we drafted well, we definitely could have made a Cousins signing work (and that's still a big if). But if Darnold turns into what we think we can, we will be fine.

Also, Stefon Diggs would look nice in a Jets uniform.

He would.
But i doubt Big Doug is interested in parting with any high round draft capital this year. And i'm ok with this. I have high expectations for his inaugural draft next April.
-
13 mill a year and our first? For a premadonna malcontent wideout Ehhh
Especially since this is already a lost season
One or the other maybe but both? I'd rather have mediocre wideouts and improve the offensiveline

Me too. 3-4 more years and we might have a chance to be better than 5-11.

Diggs isn't worth a 1st. He's never played 16 games, he's only had one 1,000-yard season, and he will be owed a lot of money pretty soon.
If someone trades a 1st for him, they are overpaying.

Twice in the same year. Yeesh.

That has to be unprecedented a player being traded twice in the same year, for that much compensation.
Makes sense for the vikings to get as much back as they can when clearly they aren't going anywhere

I don't want Dennison, but it's either adding things to our current guys' plates, hiring someone who doesn't have a good job right now (I heard Adam Gase is available), or getting an anti-vaxxer.
-
No.
Especially if ZW ends up being an antivaxxers as well.
I seriously hope there's no rookies who are freaking stupid enough to refuse vaccines.
Plenty of excrement to learn do and adjust to as a rookie, with presumably another fucked up offseason. Last thing they need is to jump throguh all these freaking hoops and do daily testing and excrement

The league policy part:
The NFL REQUIRES coaches to be vaccinated. If they got fired for not taking a vaccine, we cannot hire them unless they get vaccinated.
The team's interest part:
Introducing an unvaccinated coach into the team creates a risk of infection that could cost the team wins and money.
An anti-vaxxxer who was fired for not getting the vaccine is not a viable option.
And god.forbid our offensive coordinator has to coordinate the entire offense.

What if they work purely in a remote environment?

Well if they're not interacting with the players directly they would bypass that requirement but how effective would that actually be?

nobody is coaching players remotely through a season....that's stupid.
-
Well if they're not interacting with the players directly they would bypass that requirement but how effective would that actually be?
Presumably it would be more effective than just having someone already on the roster doing both jobs, and less effective than hiring someone who is vaccinated (of course finding someone willing and able in August isn't exactly easy either)
With the expansion and influence of technology I don't think it's unreasonable to say that someone could make a difference in a remote capicity.
Plus if this queues someone up in the pipeline to take on an expanded role in the following season (no longer remotely as covid/vaccines do their thing) then we make out even better.
Think of it as an investment opportunity that could have minor benefits this year
-

Nobody is coaching from the grave either.
It's basically August, and options are going to be extraordinarily limited. At this point they'd be more of a consultant than anything, but options are extraordinarily limited

Because our offense under Bowles was so good when he was one of the senior coaches?

Im not overestimating the influence of a passing game coordinator on GameDay.
But we do have a QB room with basically no veteran depth, and a toddler for a QB coach.
My biggest concern is the development of our rookie QB that our GM has gambled the future of this franchise on
We saw what bad coaching could do to young talented QB's numerous times in recent years. I'd like to have every resource available this time around
-

Debatable.

Rick Dennison sucks. Why would we replace a passing game specialist with a guy that specializes in offensive line and the run game?

Calabrese just has to step up. This puts a lot on Lafleur, but he's supposed to be a passing guru...so he can handle it.
Knapp was essentially a passing game consultant. He will definitely be a huge loss because our coaching staff is inexperienced.
-
dcm wants to hire a Passing Game coordinator before Knapp's funeral.
-
Again, I don't want Dennison back. I just brought this up in case there are other guys like Dennison who could potentially help. And they could help in a remote setting as well.
We're probably fine with Calabrese and LaFleur, but they obviously brought in Knapp for a reason, and now his duties are added to someone else.

Just heard Cousins at a presser saying how his anti-vaxx stance was a 'private decision'. Sure Kurt, as if you (esp. as a QB) can operate independently in a bubble.....go on over to that other practice field and work with the punters. Thank goodness he was only using the Jets $30/yr offer as a bargaining chips with the Vikes.

I took care of a 20 something year old with no medical history that died last month from covid.

Only looking at the mortality rate is useless, because I've taken care of plenty of covid survivors that if it was me I'd prefer the alternative.

Not sure how good of an RT this dude is, but is APY is 18.5 million which is only 80% of what the top left tackles are making
And considering that the top paid LT got his contract at 33 years old with injury issues, it's not unreasonable to assume that the top left tackles will probably be getting contracts with an APY of 25-26 million

How much is the cap increasing relative to compensation?
Not just the natural cap increases itself, but there's the season increase + expanded playoffs.
Those in themselves probably increased the cap by close to 10%. Before even accounting for economic inflation and the natural increase of things.
I don't think it's insane to think the cap could increase by like 20 to 25% over 3 years

Apparently as of 2 weeks ago Cousins is guaranteed $45M next season. That seems.... mindboggling. They're going to have to extend him just to get the cap hit down.

AVT trade was pretty standard, but the Herndon trade was the perfect example of a reactionary trade to an injury.
I remember when some were upset we were getting rid of a weapon for Zach when that trade was made. Laughable in retrospect, though Douglas really should have had a better option last year than Ryan Griffin.

AVT trade was pretty standard, but the Herndon trade was the perfect example of a reactionary trade to an injury.
The Vikings cut the two players they took with the 3rd rounders we gave them today.

Based on this alone, can we stop arguing (as a larger fan base) about whether the trade for AVT was good value or not?

I've literally never seen or heard anyone question that. I'm sure somewhere out there in the mongverse someone has, but I don't think it's an issue that has rent the fanbase asunder.

That was the giant argue,ent the day after the trade for months that “this is an atrocious trade for the Jets.” Largely because you “can’t give up that much for a OG” and “if you just stayed where you were, drafted the best OL available (the OT from VaTech Darrisaw that the Vikings took) and then drafted two more OGs with the picks traded away, you likely get a better overall performing OL”
Which is all bullshit anyways, but I was really annoyed listening to fans and media people talking about that nonsense, and also forgetting we got a 4th back, which oh by the way resulted in us being able to either draft Michael Carter, or trade down for a 5 and 6 which I believe became Michael Carter II and Hamsah Nasirildeen
-
We'll see if AVT lives up to the 13th pick in the draft before we victory lap too hard. It looks like he will, but he still has to prove it, and the bar for a guard in the top 15 to be worth the pick is pretty high.
I remember when the Sam Darnold trade happened, we were thrilled we didn't give up a 1st-round pick, but then a year or two later, we were complaining we couldn't build around him because we lacked the draft capital.
The big difference here is that Joe Douglas built up a lot of extra draft capital where we could sustain giving up picks to move up for Jermaine Johnson or AVT or Breece Hall.

Also, LOL at them paying $84M guaranteed to Kirk Cousins. Glad we weren't dumb enough to do something like that.
I still don't think the Cousins signing is a bad move. Yeah he's expensive for his level of performance. But he's a legitimate starting QB. Not a top 10 one but not bottom 10 either.
By signing him they're able to go BPA and build a competitive team around him while eventually looking for a franchise QB to develop. Considering how expensive talented QB's are to draft and the degree of luck involved, I think the Cousins move was a good one
Except...we were. Thankfully, Cousins didn't want anything to do with us.
Make no mistake, Duff was ready to bend over for Cousins.
Cousins was a product of no other options on the market when he was a free agent and a lot of teams needing a QB that bad. I never wanted him, we can think him indirectly for getting Darnold.
dcm was right
-
Yes he was. I don't think they're where they are because of Cousins and I think they could have been where they are with a different and probably less expensive option, but in hindsight it has still worked out pretty well for them.

Didn’t he say after being drafted something like “it’s time to get this work in to get paid” or something like that?

I wonder how much different the sport would be if fantasy football never existed.
We've got people that want Cover 2 to be banned because it's harder for offenses to score. You know how to get a defense out of a two high safety look? Rex Ryan knew.

The NFL wouldn't be as popular.
For example, i read an article by Pierre Lebrun (the Athletic) yesterday about each NHL team having their own fantasy football league....and how it feeds into the lockeroom camaraderie

The interest in Cleveland must have been pretty tepid if that's all they could get for him.
