Very high on the signing.
He's very high regardless.
well glad we can rest easy now that Cowherder is okay with the signing.
I've always believed you could win a Super Bowl with an elite defense and an average offense with a game manager at QB. I think you can also win a Super Bowl with an elite offense and an "OK" defense.
But wow, adding a perennial 4,000 yard thrower to a team with the NFL's #1 defense, the best receiving duo in the game and Dalvin Cook, is a damned exciting proposition. One more OL and a QB2, and this could be the best team the Vikings have ever fielded.
Now...
How do we figure out what happened on the defensive side of the ball in the last 6 quarters of '17? Even going back to '16, it was our defense that fell apart and was mostly responsible for 2nd half of the season collapse. Zimmer needs to figure that shit out.
Makes me wonder if we maybe sacrifice a little "bad ass" mentality in the interest of a positive culture. I love this team of guys. I love reading in the paper about every one ELSE'S bad boys. When was the last time a Viking has been in trouble? But are our players too good? Too nice? Xavier Rhodes, Anthony Barr, Harrison Smith....these are the kind of guys you want your daughter to marry. Do we need a little bit more rip yer head off mentality? Just thinking out loud. No, I don't want a team of fuckups either.

We need a badass DT next to Linval. Is there any prayer at all in the universe that we could snag Richardson??
OR...I read also that Philly may need to cut Vinny Curry. What about adding him as a rotational piece?

Oh wait. Maybe not.

1. I agree about the offense being- potentially- one of our best ever. But we do need to improve our OL to make that happen.
2. If there's anyone who can tell Zimmer how the Eagles whipped his defense... it's DeFilippo.

I agree with this. Shore up the OL and get a good DT that will compliment Linval.|
I'm all-in on Cousins. He will be an upgrade over Keenum. The Vikings are going to be a tough team to beat...
Without any glaring holes to fill... we can go any number of directions in the draft. Goedert at TE in the first... maybe a stud pass rushers... look at the OL.
Possibilities are endless... Of course my Packer buddy still thinks the Packers are the team to beat with Rodgers back. We'll see...
