I'd trade KC and 2 1sts for Russell Wilson

Give me a proven winner, a guy who can run and throw, and who has made a career out of off schedule plays when his pass pro wasn't there.

It's a nice thought but Russell isn't going anywhere.

[Guest]

wishful thinking....but totally worth it.

what is Wilson like 6 & 0 against us?

[Guest]

Its just a lot easier drafting your own guy. Now when I see 'easy', I don't mean its easy to do.....its just so much better from a compensation standpoint and doesn't gut you're progression as a team giving up so much draft capital. And why would Seattle do it?

[Guest]

So would damn near everyone else.

Yep. How come no love for Cousins getting the team down the field for the game tying FG? Or the drive in overtime in Bengals territory before the Cook 'fumble'?? Its just agenda-driven with some fans. I get it, we're all frustrated with the Vikings over time. Its cumulative. So we blow our stacks and overreact with a frustrating loss, bringing years of angst into the now.

When you're in a crowded bar, can't hear the audio and have had a few drinks, the specifics of the game are foggy. So I just watched the highlights. Vikings had a 1st and 10 at the Bengals 37 when Dalvin "fumbled." And if you look at that play, if Dalvin had simply run outside of Ham's block instead of inside, he probably goes for 10 or 12 if not the house. He had one man to beat. The curse is alive and well.

It was good that they were able to get down the field. He deserves credit for that. It is also important to acknowledge the earlier misses. He is not high on the blame chart for this game but it's a team sport so he does get some of it.

Fans are so used to Cousins play and inadequacy that they can't believe how good this team would be with a mobile and effective QB.  The last time we had a relatively mobile QB, we went to the championship game.  The guy before that who was relatively mobile?  Missed kick from the divisional round in the playoffs the year they won a division crown.  The other QB's, statues who wowed us occasionally with their arm but didn't have the extra gear to be a real winner (Bradford, Cousins)

A mobile QB makes up for young or ineffective OLs, makes plays happen when they break down, and extend drives.  Our QB needs everything right to be effective and we have grown accustom to that.
