Hot Takes on a Cold Tuesday



NFL Free Agency

This year, free agency is going to be good. There are finally a multitude of good quarterbacks on the block. I have a couple of hot takes for this this offseason. Yes this blog will be biased, but I don't care.

AJ McCarron

Well, I don't know why this guy is in the discussion with teams anymore. Especially since there is talk of teams giving him a Mike Glennon sort of bullshit contract. McCarron has played in 10 games over the course of his 3 years with a very very awful QBR. He looked like Uncle Rico finally playing in the NFL out there. There are talks of McCarron going to my Minnesota Vikings along with Minnesota favorite Teddy Bridgewater and letting them battle it out. Now folks, this would be the absolute worst scenario a die hard fan like me could wish for. If this were to happen, I would hop on nflshop.com (not sponsored, yet) and buy myself a brand new Kareem Hunt jersey and start doing the tomahawk chop. AJ, I think you should stick to making "Cheetos Sushi Rolls" at your sushi restaurant in Tuscaloosa. Hot Take: McCarron signs some big contract, starts 7 games then gets benched. 

Minnesota Vikings Free Agency

This off season will change the course of Vikings football for the next 5 years and it scares me. As of late, Spielman and the boys have been making good decisions regarding personnel. Most of the free agents on the team right now are older guys like Terrance Newman and Joe Berger, but they played a big role in our offense and defense this past season. Those guys in my opinion should be resigned, both add depth to important positions. The main debocale this off season is the QB situation. Should we resign Keenum? Bradford? Bridgewater? I think Bradford and his shitty knees are gone. That guys lives the life. Plays a couple games, gets hurt, doesn't play, but gets a shit ton of money. Good for you, Sam. Add that name to the long list of Browns QB's. I don't get why everyone in this state wants Teddy to be our guy. Frankly, his below average arm can't do it. He isn't a slinger. I would be fine with Teddy being back up this season but by no means a starting QB. Here we go, down to two. One guy performed the Minneapolis Miracle, has a bunch of heart and has my heart. The other guy is the new kid in town. The one everyone looks at and goes "holy shit he can play". Case Keenum and Kirk Cousins. To start, Case plays with so much heart. If I'm correct, Case went to Magician school before his time in Houston. He looked like my favorite high school QB Jacob Gauthier out there. Keenum didn't have the biggest arm but he was accurate and could run when he needed. I love Case but the new kid on the block is a slinger. Kirk Cousins.... man I love that guy. Cousins threw for 4k yards and 27 touchdowns this past season. The guy has a rifle. He didn't have any offensive weapons in Washington and he still had a good season. Not to mention he didnt have a defense. If he were to come to Minnesota, the Vikings would be Super Bowl Champs, I believe that. Not to mention that it isn't possible with Case, I just think Cousins is the answer to our problems. Alright Ziggy, hop in the money truck and back it up to Kirks house, were gonna need this guy. Now, to my hot take. The Minnesota Vikings sign Kirk Cousins, Go 14-2 and win the Super Bowl.
