DA is incredibly valuable, he showed his worth when Cam was hurt previously.  We dont want to be in the position MN is in with a dumpster fire behind Cam, so I am betting DG wont trade him, period.

do you not think AP would thrive in our offence?

Ah, the old trade DA thread...

I hate to break it to folks, but DA is the most overrated player on this forum. He's a solid backup QB, nothing more nothing less. Hell, Shaun Hill has significantly higher career averages for completion percentage, yards per game, and QB rating than DA does.  Half of this forum acts like DA would be an All Pro if he wasn't Cam's backup.

No doubt he would thrive here, I just dont think DG would or will trade DA at any price in order to avoid the situation MN is in right now.  He is just too valuable.  There arent a lot of backup QBs of his caliber, and we have a QB who runs a fair amount.  We need DA too much to trade him IMO, I think DG is of that mentality as well.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
