    What are the chances of Vikings signing Aaron Rodgers in the offseason,not what he used to be ,but definitely an improvement over anything on the team, could definitely see him leading this team to a disappointing loss in the playoffs

    Surely you cant be serious. Have you even watched him at all this year? Id rather have Mullens in there then him at this stage.

    Just to entertain the thought for fun, my “no” reasons:

    1. His high cost goes completely against the current Vikings financial model. They were able to sign guys like Van Ginkel, Greenard, Cashman, Aaron Jones, etc. by getting rid of big contracts like Hunter and Cousins. They’re also operating on a model of building their team by putting money into other positions while a typically highly paid position, the QB, is on a rookie contract starting next year. Paying Rogers what he would want would make no sense.

    2. What KOC has built with this organization would not work whatsoever with Rogers. Admittedly winning (starting 5-0) is a big part of it, but earlier this year players were talking about something special with this team. Rogers and his ego, his mantra, his demands that a franchise be his, would not work here.

    3. He’s not that great anymore, definitely not the guy you want to go with if you have high aspirations.

    HA! KOC wants a QB he can mold and develop, it’s his specialty and he’s good at it. Rogers is the antithesis of that. Signing Rogers would be like signing a second head coach and GM – and a really bad one, at that.

    Which young QB’s exactly has KOC molded and developed? Just curious.

    Vikings remaining schedule looks pretty easy. Only tough games are lions and kirk-o chains. Cardinals I haven’t followed this year. It’ll be fun to throttle green Bay again. Really I hope we play them a 3rd time this year in the playoffs, no team I’d rather face. LaFlooor is a master choke artist in the post season.

    He has literally made a prediction every week about the Vikings. He has only been right twice now. whistling

    Does Sam Darnold count when he put up 3 TD’s against the pack? Hey oh.

    He’s getting more out of Darnold than anyone thought possible (short of the last couple games), and while not necessarily “young” he took an average Kirk Cousins in the middle of his career to the next level and made him one of the highest paid QBs in the league. I also give him some credit with helping develop Goff in LA. I could name some far worst coaches for QBs in our recent history – my point being is that in some Hypothetical situation where Rogers would come here, it would be a spectacular mismatch. But that’s probably the same everywhere, at this point.

    That is better odds than what some of Joe’s predictions have been in the Wild thread though LOL

    And although not a rookie at the time, I can’t imagine many other coaches in recent history would have been able to get more out of Josh Dobbs, at least initially, than KOC did.

    Is the drama in Chicago building? Hearing rumors that Caleb Williams doesn’t like his teammates. Ah Houston, that would be a major problem.
