Was watching Raiders/Ravens game...

Lamar Jackson is sure fun to watch and dangerous as hell in some ways as a QB. 

Would you want him as Vikings QB over Cousins? 

Lamar does have flaws in his game. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Completes 55.9% of his passes
Has thrown for 3 tds and run for 1
Has 5 ints

So, yeah... Bring him in.

I love the calm cool demeanor under pressure.  The mobility and confidence to buy a bit more time.

To answer OP: Yes
And to add: I know this is a Vikings forum so there's bias, but it's funny to see people act like Lamar can't continue to improve his passing. He's been a starter for 2.5 seasons. Then in the next thread over we're all hoping Kirk can improve with his running, or his pre-snap decisions, or his quick dropbacks... in his 10th year in the league.

We’ll see this year, I think he’s in a similar situation w/ the Broncos as he was w/ the Vikings. I wish him well…

Teddy had a good defense and a better back (for 1 season), but I'd say he's in a better situation now.

When Teddy played in Minnesota he had receivers like a washed up Greg Jennings and RB-to-be Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson and Mike Wallace. He had a terrible line with slugs like Kalil and TJ Clemmings and Brandon Fusco.

In Denver, Teddy has a good, solid line, good backs in Gordon and Williams and receivers like Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant.

I think Jeudy is on IR.

If only we could be lucky enough to get a QB like Taylor Heinecke on our roster.  :'(

Another factor that is often over looked about Teddy's time here is that he never had the opportunity to play in the pass friendly dome, all of his home starts were in a college football stadium with many played in frigid and windy conditions.
