How about Desmond Ridder or Bailey Zappe?
We need to take notes on how the Eagles draft. They’re always in contention.
Intrigue intrigue intrigue intrigue
Wow, lots of FA Qbs this year in the tier 2 bin. Hopefully that drives the price down on the one we want
Every episode should be about the O Line & the D Line. I’m over the QB talk
I would have to say Justin Fields would be my number one choice I think he would have been a lot better if he didn't end up with Da Bears
I like Fields but Wilson is a better passer and also quite mobile. Wilson also played well in preseason for Denver and his team mates and coaches have said he has all the tools to be a great starter. Wilson is the closest to being a quality NFL starting quarterback.
Idk about the the Rams game but if Mullens starts that lions game Vikings win that game
I'd rather have Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Feilds Trey Lance than Mullins. Actually Jones makes sense he's more of a timing QB and would make sense.
Andy Dalton should have been drafted by the Vikings instead of Ponder
If the Vikings could ever draft they might have a chance. Just watch the other teams. They draft players and they make an impact The Vikings pass on a lot of studs. This has to stop. Go get some big nasty guys on both lines
I prefer a veteran QB who had shown they can come in and play instead of a young QB who needs to be rehabbed. I say sign either Teddy Bridgewater or Joe Flacco to be the backup. They can come in cold and be effective plus they would be a big help in the development of JJ McCarthy
Andy Daulton is a premier back up 100%
There is no rehab school. Sam Darnold was simply non existent the last 2 games… dooming the Vikings yet again… what a joke of a season. All the build up and for what??? 1 and done in embarrassing fashion. What a joke.
None of the guys you listed is coming to Vikings to hold clipboard and be McCarthy’s backup. The only ones willing to is a 30+ yrs old who needs the money. Fields is going to a team who promises a starter job like Raiders, Giants, Seahawks or Saints because of the weak draft class and their draft spots. Vikings will settled for Danny Dimes because no one’s want him when Vikings claimed him of waivers with a good record. Sam Ehlinger is good rehab QB.
11:48 Question, wouldn’t you want someone with a similar skillet as JJ? So if god forbid something happens the game plan isn’t completely different? If your Offense has an install made for the mobility of JJ & concrete statue Mac has to go in, there’s gonna be problems.
Kyle Trask would be a nice pick up for us.
No if you have a way to build up assets especially with injuries happening you do it. QBs are needed and will always be wanted so you never give up on aces.
Not saying the Vikings should sign Zach Wilson, but I will say that I think he's a lot better than what was shown with the Jets. I think he can be a good starter in the league. Obviously his arm and skillset are elite…..so he has that potential. But he needs to learn how to read defenses and how to run a pro offense. Maybe the year off under a competent offensive mind (Payton) will give him a good foundation.
Any QB that went through the Jets should be given the benefit of the doubt……number one……the franchise is a wreck. Number two…..the pressure of playing in the NY Media is crazy……but also prepares you….makes you mentally tough.
So is this the KOC method. Engaging in interminable rehab projects instead of maybe going after a solid talent that has proven himself in the league. But I digress. If the ones listed here are the only options available, I would go with Justin Fields. Big, strong, good arm, moves around well, runs for yardage when the play breaks down. He has some technical issues and lacks experience playing with a team with complimentary talent. You can't really judge his performances in the past because they were with…Da Bears under Ebenflus..the quarterback killer.
Trey would do his best in Min just because of how many ND St fans would support him. Zach has the bigger arm. Fields has the improvisation. Mac is basically a younger, worse version of kirk cousins 😂. I'd go Fields, Wilson, Lance. Don't touch Mac. Lance should be the cheapest option. All of these would be an upgrade in the QB room.
This team needs a backup with heart. Pick up my guy Taylor Heninicke with the change in the couch cushions.
Id take Daniell Jones over Mac
