He just lucked Into a perfect situation with 2 HOF receivers. Keesum will be the same guy that we've seen for the past 10 years, wait and see. If he was as good as you think, then the Vikings would have held on to him instead of paying stupid money to Cousins. Also, you don't know that you've improved at TE, WR3 or WR4. Butt hasn't played in over a year, and your 2 rookie WRs aren't guaranteed to do squat. Until they show it on the field, I don't see anything for you to get excited about.
I hear ya, but the rookies and Jake just need one game of solid play to validate their future, yeah?
In regards to what the Vikings did with Cousins over Case... they, like many viewed Kirk as the better QB. So, if you're going to pay big dollars, why wouldn't they make the move? [Reply]

Mahomes missed like 2 series because he was taken out when they were up 24-10. Then when Bray choked the lead, Mahomes came in and won the game on his last drive [Reply]

Nobody knows if Keenum can repeat what he did in 2017. The Vikings believe they have a Super Bowl caliber roster and Cousins has a longer track record of above average play than Keenum does. Once Shurmur left, it would've been pretty ballsy of them to bet on Keenum when Cousins wanted to come there.

Virgil Green, Bennie Fowler, Isaiah McKenzie, and Cody Latimer combined for 857 yards and 6 TD's. If just one of our young guys hit they could match that total by themselves. [Reply]
Is there anything this kid can't do? I'm totally stoked to watch him rewrite the way the league views the QB position. This is gonna be great for you guys and the overall viewing fan. [Reply]

Well...it's a good thing Horseface fortified that o-line. You wouldn't want a dome QB, in a new system, behind a line that surrendered the 3rd most sacks....and got their starter injured two seasons in a row.
Freeman will have to be the 9th best RB to replace Anderson's production last season...which was only 37 yards less than Fournette. So essentially you need your table scrap rookie RB to equal the 4th overall pick from the 2017 draft.

He threw for 500+ yards and 9 TD's in that game btw. [Reply]
