Just a thought

[Craig Cartner]

Given the situation of the Vikings (QB out for the year) can we and should we try and get something for the REDROCKET?

Bryce is our guy.  If we can get a 5th for Andy, I think it should be a no-brainer.  Better situation for Dalton, too.

I don't understand the inclination to trade Dalton. He's a good, experienced backup that is mentoring Bryce through his first NFL season. Y'all would give that up for a 5th? And who would our backup be?

Justin Jefferson for Dalton straight up.  Who says no?

Nah Bryce needs a vet he discuss the game  with and already has a relationship with Dalton. I don’t think we’re gonna consider moving him until the end of the year if not further .

He's already got that with Reich and McCown.

Even if we got a 5th, it's still our front office drafting.   

That has to be factored into any scenario for draft picks.

The dynamics of coach-player mentorship and player-player mentorship are completely different. It's good to have both.

Vikings are in tank mode. They won’t trade for anyone.

IMHO we have McCown to feel the veteran role.  We are in a good situation to recoup some much-needed draft capital with Dalton.  I think it would be foolish not to pursue.

If Bryce goes down, is it really going to matter for this season who the QB is?  I'd rather have the draft capital b/c Bryce is the long-term guy and we're not making a run this year.

I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree. IMO, a 5th isn't commensurate with the value Dalton brings to the team, especially with this FO doing the drafting.

Said it in the other thread, Dalton is too important to Bryce's development to trade away for a mid to late round pick.

However, if we can get KJ Osborn and a 4th for Dalton and TMJ, I'm all in on that trade.

I think most likely scenario if they go the trade route would be for Jacoby.  Howell is their starter, they're not contending so don't need to keep an experienced QB around in case he gets hurt, and they're in sell mode anyways.
