Russell Wilson to Carolina?

So, we're sitting at #8 in a draft that could have five or six good QBs in it, a couple of which would even be available in the second round when our pick came in. We have no real offensive line. We're cheering defensive pick ups that have injury histories or just one decent season of work. 

Why the hell are we going to give it all away to try and nab a big name QB with a huge contract who will want to run the organization? Either Watson or Wilson will be that guy. Guaranteed if they get here and they will be surrounded by a team hamstrung for salary cap AND draft picks so there's no way to really build around them except for some street-level JAGs. We will have a further disgruntled superstar on a team that's going nowhere and you and I will be stuck watching them. 

And if this is what the owner wants, he's a dumbass who doesn't understand the sport, and he will have killed the career of the Head Coach he was willing to give anything to to get here. 

Just scout the college candidates, make a frikkin' pick at #8 or trade for the #1 pick. Quit dickin' around you stupid hedge wizard weasel.

3 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder and 2 starters is way too much for someone on the wrong side of 30. I'm pretty sure an article came out saying he was hit more than any other QB in the league. His body will begin to break down way before Drew Brees or Tom Brady's did. 

He's not on the wrong side of 30! 

Look, I get the whole not wanting to give up so much. I do! That's debatable! But only people thinking really in terms of the 80s or even the 90s think that 32 is old I today's NFL. Wilson, Stafford and Rogers are still playing at a high level with arms as big as they ever were, and certainly enough to push the ball down field. Even the Brady has a noodle arm narrative has proven to be false (as I suspected and intimated somewhere on these servers within the last two years)!

We did hire a GM who is supposed to be a draft expert...maybe go with our strengths at this time?

I'm with you, Tepper pulls this trigger and he is a fugging Jones level moron owner playing with his billion dollar toy.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
