Could Minnesota trade up to #1??

This is one of the teams I could see trading into the #1 spot. There are a LOT of QB hungry teams early in the draft like the Bengals, Bills, Cardinals, 49ers, Titans, and Redskins, all potentially waiting to snap up a QB early in the draft. I'd put the Cardinals and 49ers at the top of that list. Minnesota is sitting at #12 and in all likelihood the best two QB's in the draft, Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert, will be gone. Not sure if they'd consider a trade to #1, but if they were sold on one of the QB prospects, I could see them doing it. No team is more desperate for a QB this offseason than the Vikings.

But hell, no football next year is looking more and more likely, so there could be no trades at all.

I don't see them spending so much to move up for Cam, since he's just a bigger, inexperienced version of Jackson.

I don't see anyone moving up to #1 for Gabbert.

I can see them making a move for Palmer. They have gone after big names more than once.

To piggyback on these thoughts, Minnesota has a lot of needs. Moving up to trade with us would take more than their entire draft. They don't have a third rounder either.

I don't see Palmer because I don't see Minnesota having anything Cincy needs or wants. I see Palmer possibly coming to Carolina as part of a deal to get the first pick, but not without a CBA.

My guess: Minnesota will trade for or sign Donovan McNabb.

Forgot about McNabb. I could see them going after him over Palmer. And you're right. Minnesota is getting old in a lot of spots and need to rebuild. Their win now window closed last season.

At least the Panthers have Clausen, or would rather have Tavaris Jackson and Joe Webb...?

Apples/Oranges I guess

Both had better QB ratings than Clawsome.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

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

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
