2016 Vikings

And also the detail of Sendejo’s contract is that most of the money is based on playing time, so if they do get a different starter, he does not make that full amount. To me it was a great signing, great backup player that will get paid if he has to get playing time for whatever reason.

Buck – you just have an anti-Viking attitude. Tell me their solution at QB, tell me what they should have done? Drafted Cam Newton, not possible, drafted Andrew Luck, not possible, signed Aaron Rodgers, not possible. What better option did the Vikings have at QB where their draft picks were? What better free agent QB should they have signed, under their current cap, that would be better? Show me your GM brilliants and answer those questions?

I suppose they could have drafted Derek Carr who went 4 picks after TB but hindsight’s 20/20.

Yeah, Derek Carr, that is a no-brainer, especially during the draft. Not one NFL analyst (paid job) had Carr rated higher than Bridgewater. Nice hindsight GM work there.

I am not arguing that Bridgewater is not the answer, he is terrible as a NFL starting QB. But without using hindsight, the Vikings made the educated decision on QB, so be it, have to live with it.

And I am of the opinion that they use a 2nd or 3rd round pick every year to take a chance on a QB, hopefully they luck into a Brady QB at some point.

Just ticks me off when armchair GM’s have all the answers on WHAT the Vikes should have done. Sit in that seat and do a better job then!!!!

I like the Boone signing too…

By the way, Teddy has a higher career completion percentage, even with a higher pressure rate, oh and career records –

Bridgewater 12-8; Carr 7-17

Just sayin….

Really!! Peyton Manning just won the Superbowl with a per completion average of 6.1 yards, and you are going to use that as your reasoning that Carr is better, ummmm, OK.

Can’t argue with you anymore, cuz I didn’t hear you on draft day say that Carr was better than Bridgewater.

I didn’t hear you during the Timberwolves draft day to draft Steph Curry either, that was an excellent call on your part.

First off, get your head out of the Vikings’ butt’s because you’re going to get your neck broke when they fall on their asses again next year.

Second, go back and read Buck’s post about how every 20 years a defense wins a super bowl and that will answer your Manning question.

Third, no one here on LSF makes millions of dollars drafting players for pro teams. Sure hindsight is 20/20 but the Queens have made some really bad picks even the blind could see were bad and Pondwater and Toiletwater are two of them. Spielman should be fired for the picks he has made since he came to the Queens. Don’t even give me the Harrison Smith or Peterson picks as evidence this guy knows what he’s doing. He ruined Miami and now he’s doing it to the Queens. Good thing they have a coach who finally knows what he’s doing.

I’m just glad I gave up on the Queens long ago and can laugh at those who really think they won’t disappoint you again and again.

F6 you cant ask for our “Expert GM answers” then get mad when your proved wrong. I can tell you personally I didn’t like teddy when they took him and I dislike him even more now.

And guys, you’re missing the lay up here, how about burning a 12th overall pick on Ponder! I hated that even more than the teddy pick. So far both have proved me right.

So lets look at Speilman’s great picks

2011
12th overall he took Ponder. In the same draft Dalton & Kaepernick were both 2nd rounders. Ryan Mallet was a mid 3rd guy. Great pick there.

2014
32nd he chose limp arm Teddy over Carr (who is obviously way better) and Garroppolo who were both 2nd rounders. AJ McCarron went in the 5th round that year, and he looks better than Teddy too.

Also don’t forget Peyton Manning was a FA a few years back, and we didn’t even try for him.

So there 7 guys he could have taken to fix the problem. Don’t tell us there’s nothing he can do.

Pickle – I have not been proved wrong. Show me something dated, that lists those QB’s you listed as ranked higher than Ponder or Bridgewater. You won’t find it. That’s the point, hindsight is 20/20.

2011 – The Vikes HAD to pick a QB. Krappernick can’t even find a team that wants him anymore because he is dumb and his accuracy is horrible. Dalton is good, better than Ponder, but was rated lower pre-draft by the analysts. Mallett has not done anything, irrelevant. Ponder was the consensus best performance that the combine that year.

2014 – Again, they HAD to draft a QB. Teddy was the #1 ranked QB, Manziel #2. Carr was ranked 5th, and had a horrible bowl game against a good defensive team. Garrapalo was ranked in the top 5. McCarren was ranked 4 but what has he done.

Manning said he would not go to the Vikings because he wanted to go to a contender, and they would have had to do some funny work to get him under the cap. Not even worth discussing.

And minus Manning, which could never have happened, none of those other 6 guys your mentioned have done anything to prove they would have done a better job. Nothing.

You proved nothing, except that you can look back and say this and that, no proof, none of them have won anything either.
