I know we're all really in a holding pattern with JJ, big year upcoming. Some have optimism, some are wait and see and others just don't see it: I get them all. Just a reminder that it wasn't all bad and some of it was pretty strong. Fingers crossed a kid with this toolset can make it for a franchise that needs it.

Here's how I see our options. Who am I missing?
Counting Crows Feet
Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, Marcus Mariota, Jimmy G, Carson Wentz, Geno Smith, Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson
Fine Young Cannibals
Malik Willis, Mac Jones, Anthony Richardson, Will Levis
The Replacements
Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray

I dont know how much love KOC has for Levis, didnt we pass on him that draft?
But I think it's a strong possibility now. Good call for us fans to have him on the radar!
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Kyler Murray is way overrated. He and his contract have decimated AZ. I think Wentz with a full offseason under his belt might be the best option.

Thats a good list.
My guess is we're all humming "Good Thing" by Easter...

Maybe throw Zach Wilson (26) into the mix of Fine Young Cannibals. Selected 2nd in the draft (2021) by the Jets. Sound familiar?

Right now number 9 is Tommy Kramer, JJ has a long way to go before number 9 has his picture in mind.

Just a gentle reminder Sticky...you were JJ's biggest cheerleader last season...until you weren't.
Do I want him to stay healthy for the next 15+ years? Yes.
Do I want him to become an All-Pro wearing purple? Yes.
Do I want him to win the big one (in my lifetime) with the Vikings? Yes.
I'm also a realist...no matter how much I want him to be great, he is going to have to do it on his own and prove all the naysayers wrong...just like Sam Darnold did in Seattle this season.
