DA trade interest ?

good point, but usually the more carries you get, the more yards you'll gain, but at a lesser average per carry. However someone pointed out AP averaged 4.5 yards a carry, which is really impressive given how the Vikings offense is set up. 

I'm not completely dogging AP. He's a great RB, but I just think Stew fits our system better. And the argument was DA and a 3rd for AP. I believe his CAP hit is $14M, and for a 31 year old RB who's beginning to enter the downward portion of his career, the trade just isn't worth it. 

Im not advocating for trade cause I'll take J-Stew all day but aruging against the fact that people called "AP" washed up and playing down his talent level.

love stew really do....but he does not hold AP jock strap.....AP would beat stew like he was one of his kids

Stew is a better blocker, and breaks more tackles. 

But really, who'd trade for an old RB, regardless that if it was AP. 

I know Gettleman wouldn't.

The backup qb debates always go to the extremes, cause there are to many that undervalue DA, which in gets the peeps who over value DA (the backup qb is always the most popular player that isn't starting). 

Stating who DA would start over in this league, is not a wise tactic, as is purely opinion based. So is saying that DA wouldn't last the season starting, ala Farve. 

DA is  very good backup, that can come in if Cam got hurt, and help keep this team winning. He wouldn't do it alone, just like cam doesn't do it alone. 

Our defense is more than good enough to keep us in games, that would allow DA to lead this team to victory. 

I wouldn't trade DA, and I doubt it happens, because trades for backup QBs rarely happen. That isn't a reflection on DA.

    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
