This is actually 2 questions:

  1. How do you proceed after the bye
  2. How do you proceed after the season

As you can imagine, Vikings fans have a lot of opinions here. You have your Kirk loyalists, your tank commanders and even your Dobbs defenders.

It’s a bit of a cluster, but I am confident /r/nfl will have the answers.

Let’s start with the 1st question. You have 3 options here:

  1. Start Mullens: very likely this will give you the best chance to make a playoff run, but let’s be real… you are not going to do anything when you get there.

  2. Start Dobbs: Maybe you could delude yourself into thinking last week was a blip and not his luck running out?

  3. Start Hall: He looked good in the couple of series he played, why don’t you see what you have to get a more accurate picture for our next question?

Now on to question 2, again we have 3 options here:

  1. Resign Kirk, make no mistake, you will not get a discount. Let’s assume it’s a market rate deal. He will be 36 for most of next season coming off the injury.

  2. Fuck them picks and try to get in spitting distance of one of the top QB prospects in the 2024 draft.

  3. Let it fall to you, take a QB in the top 50ish picks, have Hall and rookie QB dual it out, let the chips fall where they may.

It’s a complicated situation, and we need answers. Obviously Kwesi is here religiously so give him some good advice.

    The viks need to decide on if Cousins is worth bringing back.

    On one hand, he’s still good, and division wise it’s just the Lions, you can compete in the north with Cousins. On the other hand, he’s getting old, he’ll cost alot, you’re about to need to back a brinks truck up for jj.

    I think no matter what choice they make, they shouldn’t actively be trying to make the play offs, bc we all know they arnt going anywhere when there. Sometimes getting a higher pick is the better idea. Their defense needs help, I’m sure other areas do to.

    With that in mind, start Allen, he’s a rookie, and he did look good in limited action. With thus 1 of 3 things will happen.

    Hell look good and ball out, you now have your QB for cheap.

    He’ll look ok, but won’t do enough to win games, or takes a bit to adjust to the pros, you get a higher pick to help him next year.

    He’ll suck and you’ll get within throwing distance of 1 of the QBs.
