OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XIII - JJ's Taking the Reins!! (Lindsay Whalen Edition)

[Sad People]

I would be curious who was interested, and trying to trade for, JJ McCarthy.

Titans, Giants, Raiders maybe? All the teams picking in the top 10 this year who dont already have a QB would be my guess.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

It never was going to be Rodgers. This was all media and likely Rodgers' agent driven rumors to try to drive up the price IMO.

Thank goodness. Was worried Minnesota might actually win a SB this year

The "conventional wisdom" seems to be that if JJ was in this year's draft that he would go ahead of any other QB, so I agree that it would make sense that those teams looking for a QB in this draft would be more interested in JJ than Ward or Sanders.

Ye i agree with this.

Given the mediocre QB draft class this year, probably quite a few teams. You could argue that JJ would've been the top QB pick in this year's draft, and certainly the 2nd.

Rodgers is old, and partially done. He is well past his prime. it happens to every player. Signing him and expecting anything other than pre Achilles injury Cousins level of play is delusional.

He was one hopping a LOT of passes last year! He's toast.

Couldn't push off his feet in the same way. Kirk was the same. I mean, i'd take Rodgers as a 15M option to start the year if JJ wasn't ready, but he's gonna want to be handed the starter's job, and 30-35M. Forget about it.

I wouldn't be shocked if a majority of the teams had him graded higher last year than Ward/Sanders are this year.

I'm hearing the same from the talking heads.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Given the QBs left on the market, I would like the Vikes to pursue Minshew for a veteran backup. He's decent enough to keep the team afloat if they need him to start for a few games, for whatever reason.

The rest in FA do not excite me, at all.

Minshew signed with the Chiefs last week.

Minshew signed with the Chiefs last week.

I did not see that. f*** me. lol

 

[57special]

I wonder why the Vikings are waiting so long to sign a backup QB?

Comp pick formula would be my guess.

Maybe theres something else in the works in terms of a trade or cut theyre trying to get done.

 

[TaLoN]

Vikings Agree to Terms with Receiver Rondale Moore

Might even have a handshake agreement with a QB already that we won't hear about until after the draft so it doesn't affect the comp pick formula

Only thing i can think of.

Alec Lewis said its very much a thing theyre keeping in the back of their minds.

He does give off the football junkie vibe.
