Being a Vikings fan at free agent time is like Linus waiting for Great Pumpkin. We never get anything except Charlie Brown’s bag of rocks, i.e., Rashod Hill. Can’t wait for the next exciting news that Sean Mannion is coming back.

I was thinking, did you really expect us to be big spenders?

Really?

I didn't have any expectations going in so I am not surprised at what is happening.

I agree with that but it applies to multiple areas of the team.

Lucy could have quite a clientele, handling Viking fans at her psychiatric stand.

So which emoji do you use when it feels like you just got kicked in the nuts?

I'm not hesitant to criticize, but I find it surprising how much angst Sean Mannion causes people. The team NEVER puts him in if Cousins is having a bad game, he never gets put in for mop-up duty, and he is about as cheap as a backup can be. 

Spielman and Zimmer have shown they like having one, and only one, "Alpha QB" on the team. Sean Mannion = Sean Hill. If Cousins ever suffers a catastrophic injury, Spielman will acquire someone to start and Mannion will hand off to Cook for a game or two until the new starter is up to speed. 

This staff does not want to develop quarterbacks. They see the team is in a window to "win now". So since 2016, they have only been interested in signing veteran QBs: Bradford then Cousins (and Cousins again if you count his 2020 extension).

If you hate the approach, I get it...complain about the strategy. But I just don't think cutting Mannion, then promoting Browning or Stanley, or signing Trubisky, is worth worrying about. The team has bigger personnel issues, doesn't it?
