I think Stanley is Josh Allen without the athleticism.

....and all the inaccuracy . :p

All kidding aside, I think it'll still be ol' Kirk behind center in 2021.

I enjoyed Favre playing here. I’m not sure I could handle Erin and his constant crying.

Nope, 2009 was enough, done that

Stanley and Josh Allen have a lot of similarities...inaccurate downfield, strong arm, and good runners. People forget Stanley ran a 4.7 at the combine and when he did scramble at Iowa, he was very effective. The frustrating part was that only occurred every 4 games. Nate had a lot of weapons this past year but constantly missed easy throws and it drove me nuts. He's better than Mannion, but that isn't much of a feat, and I hope he's never a started for us as I see him being a career backup.

Well said. I prefer Stanley to Browning as the team's developmental #3. That's all I can say for sure.

I wouldn't say Stanley had a lot of weapons. He lost his top 3 receivers from 2018 (Easley, Hockenson, and Fant) and Brandon Smith missed 5 games. Doesn't excuse the missed throws, which is why he lasted to #244. I'm glad we picked him because I have realistic expectations for him: a backup with a legit arm that understands a pro system.

I just posted in another thread that I watched video on Stanley for the first time and came away liking what I saw. He's big, underrated a little athletically and that arm is very nice. I see upside, IMO.

I cant believe Rogers is only going to play in GB 2 more seasons...Way to good for that.

I was fine with Favre when the rumor mill was working overtime that spring/summer, and I was great with Favre as he led us on the most fun season I've had watching Minnesota since '98. Thank you Favre!

But Rodgers... idk. I legitimately can't stand that guy. If I had a crystal ball and knew he could help us win a Super Bowl then yes I'd do it. But literally anything short of that and I'd pass on him. With Favre I can look back fondly on the '09 season even though it hurts and I still hate the Saints. But if we had a similar season with Rodgers I think I'd try my best to erase it from my memory. I'm just not a fan.
I want the Vikings to find an elite QB bad. But maybe not quite THAT bad.

Good point that if he wants to PO the management and fans, he goes to Chicago, a bigger Packer rival than Minnesota.
I don't think this happens, despite the delicious irony of it. Favre wanted to play with Darrel Beville and maybe even Childress, but I don't see that kind of connection with the current Vikings staff. Sure, a lot can happen in a year, but I think Spielman and Zimmer are tied to Cousins' success.
