Title says the take but here’s why:
Basically we’ve only had 1 good QB that we’ve drafted in the entire history of the team: Fran Tarkenton. And the only reason he really was good was because he was forced to break the mold of what a QB was allowed to do, or he’d be a corpse on the field. Put him in any system past ~1985, but with him in his prime, and he would struggle.
Outside of that who have we drafted that has actually been good? Culpepper arguably but he was injury prone and still couldn’t win much in the playoffs.
All the other QBs the vikings have drafted have been absolute crap or have made 0 impact on the team/league.
To me, if we use a 1st rounder on a QB it will be waste of a pick, and it’ll stay that way to me until proven otherwise.

They haven’t drafted that many QBs period, but among the ones they have drafted in the early rounds they have a decent track record.
Hot take: a professional sports team is not a sentient being that makes decisions. The failures of the past are no indicator of future performance of people new to the organization.
So you are basing the ability to pick quality players based solely on the team name and not the decision makers. Weird
Vikings Fandom is a mental illness and it’s on display in this sub daily
Many Great QB’s have been drafted in the 3rd to 6th rounds, so ya never know …
We’ve hardly ever spent top draft capital on a QB. The main problem is we are too good and win too many games every year to get a top 3 pick.
Even outside of that, we rarely use our best pick to get a QB. We can’t really suck at something we never choose to do.
This gotta be a troll post right, I think it got so much attention to the point where it would be shameful to delete lol.
Just say it was a troll post and get on with your day.
