Somebody give me a comprehensive plan.

I remember when Josh Dobbs looked good at QB with the Vikings for several games. I think there may be a reason Darnold was on a few teams prior. I'm just not sure he'll be better than Kyler. Right now KM is probably in the middle of the pack in NFL qb's 15 or 16. You can win with a qb like that.

Yes, nothing wrong with winning with a great defense. That has NEVER been the case in AZ. We have always built teams going for passing greatness. A few seasons, we almost got there, then couldn't sustain it. Why not try something different?

I don't even care who the QB is if we win. Gannon is a defense guy, why not go for it on defense?

Man, I don’t even know where to start. I will say next season will 100% be a failed season if they don’t make the playoffs. With that said, realistically I don’t know how they get there outside of acing the draft, spending all the money in FA (which so far Monti doesn’t seem like he’s willing to do that) and just flat out getting lucky.

If I’m Monti I suppose I’m committed to building the trenches and and upgrading the WR position.

How about this for plan?

Build an awesome WR room.

That would be a waste of resources once a big game arises and kyler turtles as he’s done in LITERALLY EVERY INSTANCE other than high school.

What you’re espousing is buying a high end sportscar and turning it over to a kid who can’t drive stick.

Yes but was he great in high school?

Maybe a QB like that, but not him. Not in an important game. 0-10 says so pretty definitively.

The best, people say.

 

[Stout]

Agreed. Build everything else. Get your QB in 2026.

No. I'm not throwing MHJ under the bus again with Kyler in 2025. Charmin Marvin has his own stuff to work on, but he's not getting much better with Chokedown Charlie at QB either.

Darnold has looked like a very different level of QB than Dobbs in MN.

I know you don't like this answer, but there aren't many better QB options this upcoming season. I don't say that because I am interested in watching more Kyler, but just having looked at what is out there in terms of FA and the draft.

Darnold is the only QB option that would interest me, but I don't believe he will become a free agent. Minnesota can get the most value for Darnold by franchising him and trading him to the highest bidder. Some QB needy team will undoubtedly hand over a first or second round draft choice for him. He's been that good this year.

While I think this is what Minnesota would like to do, I don't see any NFL teams willing to give up a high draft pick and pay Darnold 35+ mil per year. Too much risk IMO.
