@zanary: The Vikings philosophy for the most part is to build through the draft. I understand your point that a 1st round QB has strong bust potential. I get it!
However, the odds of finding a franchise QB outside of the 1st round drops off considerably pick by pick and round by round. That's why the Chiefs traded 2 1st round picks and a 3rd rounder to move up for Patrick Mahomes. Chiefs fans were in disbelief at the time because they had Alex Smith. Fast forward...now they love that trade.
Don't give up! Keep rooting the Vikings on,... I admire your resolve!
I agree 3 weeks in is too early to tank, but the next 3 weeks looks like a real difficult gauntlet for the Vikings.
I will keep my fingers crossed that the Vikings will turn it around and make a playoff run. I like the Vikings young talent and I know sooner or later they will turn it around. Yes, it was awesome to see them in a position to win the game against the Titans.
With that said, I alway stand by the philosophy that you build great teams through the draft. And great teams usually have great QBs. Can't apologize for that... just facts.
If looking forward to the Vikings next draft pick makes me pathetic and spineless, than I'm guilty as charged.
Would I be shocked if Cousin played great and went on a winning streak? No that's what he does,... hot for chunks of games, but cold in key spots.
