Donovan's adapted to playoff pressure. The Vikes are a QB away from superbowl contention. I, for one, hope they don't find a good one.

They might say they've already found one.

Me, I'm not so sure. Jackson's improved, but I'm not convinced he has the goods in the passing game to quarterback a playoff contender.

before the eagles went on the run they are on now, everyone expected mcnabb to be gone after the season. some people thought he would fit well in minnesota (brad childress connection)

honestly, if the eagles were gonna get rid of him, i would hope he went somewhere he could succeed and the vikings would be a great situation for him.

Didn't turn out to be near the mismatch I expected.

Jackson ultimately wasn't up to it, but he fared way better than anyone thought he would.

Truth be told, I think McNabb took more pressure than Jackson did, but he's a vet.

Brad has a good 1st half gameplan and Jackson executed well. They used a 3 step drop and got rid of the ball quickly with short passes. Nullifying the eagles d-line and blitzes. They attacked Samuel a lot who was playing 10 yards off the WRs every pass.

However, in the second half. The Eagles totally took away the short passing and the Vikings couldn't pass the ball well down the field. I also thought they abandoned the run way to early in the second half. Poor adjusting by Brad. Good adjustments by Reid.

I was kinda blown away that Reid didn't give Buckhalter another rushing attempt after busting of that big gain. Buck has been really good as of late and reid isn't giving him enough touches.

I expected Childress to have a good game plan given the familiarity.

If he'd had a more veteran QB, who knows what might have happened?

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
