This is actually 2 questions:

  1. How do you proceed after the bye
  2. How do you proceed after the season

As you can imagine, Vikings fans have a lot of opinions here. You have your Kirk loyalists, your tank commanders and even your Dobbs defenders.

It’s a bit of a cluster, but I am confident /r/nfl will have the answers.

Let’s start with the 1st question. You have 3 options here:

  1. Start Mullens: very likely this will give you the best chance to make a playoff run, but let’s be real… you are not going to do anything when you get there.

  2. Start Dobbs: Maybe you could delude yourself into thinking last week was a blip and not his luck running out?

  3. Start Hall: He looked good in the couple of series he played, why don’t you see what you have to get a more accurate picture for our next question?

Now on to question 2, again we have 3 options here:

  1. Resign Kirk, make no mistake, you will not get a discount. Let’s assume it’s a market rate deal. He will be 36 for most of next season coming off the injury.

  2. Fuck them picks and try to get in spitting distance of one of the top QB prospects in the 2024 draft.

  3. Let it fall to you, take a QB in the top 50ish picks, have Hall and rookie QB dual it out, let the chips fall where they may.

It’s a complicated situation, and we need answers. Obviously Kwesi is here religiously so give him some good advice.

    I just had this conversation with my vikings fans coworker today. The viks are up the creek without a paddle right now. They are in a situation where they can make a playoff push, but it’s unlikely that they get anywhere in the playoffs without a QB. They’re also in a situation where they are going to have mid round picks so they can’t take a realistic shot at one of the top QB prospects this year without selling the farm. So I say start Hall, see what’s there and hope that it’s good enough to avoid having to pay a TE, QB, and WR top dollar.

    The next question is, do you allow Jefferson to come back or just shut him down? Or does Jefferson (in a contract year) shut it down and decide the risk isn’t worth the reward in this case.
