Trey Lance for the Vikings 2024 second? Cheap for two years, franchise for two years. Do you take that chance? He sits next year to get healthy and learn the offense

I dont see what Lance has done to date to even talk about franchising him in 2 years.

Seeing this pic in my feed of a young Burrow in a GOAT jersey tips the scales, and I’m pulling for the Bengals.

His dad coached at NDSU so he spent his elementary school years in Fargo, which is obviously Vikings country. Pretty sure he'd moved on to wherever his dad coached next by the time that photo was taken though, pretty cool he was still rocking the Moss jersey!

Nothing. But would you take that chance for a 2nd? How else do you expect to find a QB?

I'd be interested in Lance, but the problem is going to be that they'd have to decide on picking up his 5th year option after next year, and assuming he's sitting for a year under Cousin's, they probably will have no idea if they should pick it up.

It's a huge risk, if you think a second is huge. That said, if I'm SF, I want a legit backup next year.....

Yeah, big risk, but if last year's draft was a barometer for how this regime evaluates players, 2nd round picks may not be terribly valuable to this club.

SF may prefer a Bridgwater or even a Mike White type. They'd have to deal with some heavy fallout trading him for only a 2nd rounder though. And SF would probably prefer to deal him outside of the conference. The GM who drafted him is now in Tennessee and they have an unsettled QB situation, I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings would have to pay more than most people would feel comfortable with.

I'm not too down on the last draft. A few injuries and a few mistakes in your first draft isn't the end of the world....not that I love the draft.

Funnily enough, Brock Purdy is exactly what I'd call a "Bridgewater/White type".

So the NFL did the “expedited review” a handful of times when the Vikings played the giants despite never doing it during the regular season. Now they just let play continue when the eagles WR clearly did not hold on the ball. A monumental no review. Led directly to a touchdown. Inexcusable

All a part of the plan those in the NFL fixes  games camp would say.

It is hard to explain though. How could the official not stand over the ball and hold up play if you’re doing the expedited review? They had no problem doing it for our game
