And now....on with the show (It's TIMEEE!)
Welp, the stank of the 1st loss is upon us. Watching an offense be clearly offensive with the amount of talent has all of us wondering if the Vikings will be 6-4 after a 6-0 start.
Well, lets be clear, I believe there is only 1 person out there that can actually put the train back on the tracks. It's not Jonathan Taylor either....
Yep, you guessed it, it's Kirko Chains. I would be on the phone with the Raiders right now. What's it going to take? Get his butt in here, ohh, and throw in Jeanty as well. We will kick back Kyler and maybe a 3rd or 4th. But YOU must make this move, otherwise the season is going to take a right turn at Albuquerque (I can't believe I spelled that right). We have 3 more games that will relentlessly kill the feel good season we started out with.
The thing is, guys are open. And even worse, we have a QB that can't throw them open and he can't see them. Kirk can do it. Yes, we all know of his conservative warts, BUT that is exactly what we need right now. The defense is for real, and if the Vikings had an offense that could maintain any sort of consistency, that game yesterday is a run away. The defense held that Lions team down until the constant offensive failures caught up to them and they were gassed at the end.
Give me Kirk and 23 points a game, and I give you a Super Bowl contender. Hopefully Teasley reads this forum.
First question: why would the Raiders trade him when he's doing exactly what they'd hoped: keeping the team competitive and mentoring the rookie QB so he can sit and watch. Players enjoy winning games and they are at least .500. I don't see Minnesota trading for any QBs, its Murray or die. Did everyone not see KOC's presser? He's still expecting this offense to 'ascend', just have to figure out '4 quarters of football'. Its November.....tick, tock.
No way in hell the Vikings trade for a QB going into game 8 of the season.
Its K1 or Wentz or look forward to the draft when that time comes.
I'm personally not ready to toss aside the team at 6/1. Still hoping things get better on O
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Literally the only player that could step in and make this offense hum right away is Cousins…both due to his familiarity with the system and his current level of play.
Problem is, the Raiders are in no position to trade him right now. Yes they have Mendoza, but there is zero rush to get him on the field. The idea that we can just call them up, offer them a 3rd and get Kirk on a plane is crazy.
Truth be told, bringing in a QB completely unfamiliar with KOC’s system halfway through the season would be an even bigger disaster than we’re experiencing right now.
They traded away “plan B” for a 5th round pick to protect Kyler’s little fee fees. It’s CLEAR that Kyler was the wrong choice, but all they’ve left themselves is Wentz for an alternative.

interesting take by Thielen...
Give it a listen.
Especially in regard to acquiring a qB. Ive been adamant they wont do that at this time, but who knows?
