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?

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
