Alex Smith belongs at the top of the Vikings’ list of options at QB

You don't make the trade up that KC made with its aging Defense just to pick a QB to sit on the bench for two years.

I think not winning a home playoff game since 1994 has more to do with it.

That's why I hate Reid. The Offense wasn't the problem and Smith has several years left in the tank but that birdbrain just had to trade up to get that shiny object instead of addressing the aging and ineffective Front 7.  O-Line still isn't great and they still need another WR that is a good route runner.

So what's he do? Trade up for Mahomes. Which is why the kid starts next year. Andy is too invested in him to do anything else.

For better or worse, you have to go with Mahomes. These playoff losses at Arrowhead are unacceptable and soul crushing for the fans and organization.

Neither Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins or Drew Brees is coming to Minnesota. This is all the same smoke B.S. we get at this time of the year from around the NFL. 

IMO, they are really looking hard at a Bradford-Sloter combo. Stefanski can put in place a very Shurmur-like, Bradford friendly offense: he saw it first hand the last 2 years. Just my personal theory, zero confirmation anywhere on this.

i think bradford is a highly plausible choice to stay and start, but i highly doubt they would roll with sloter as #2
