If you're the  Vikings, 
Rodgers or Jones.

Tough decision.  /sarcasm/

One is going to cost something like $30m or $40m. The other will cost peanuts and can transition you to McCarthy whenever he's ready (apparently he's been cleared for spring practice).

Neither will win you a Super Bowl.

That he did.

But he had a certain "look" in the 2 minute drill. I know last year was bad though.

As for availability, I think he has permission to shop around.

Question - Would u rather Rodgers or Cousins?

Serious upgrade on a very good team. Don't be so sure about that.

Quote from: Trench on March 08, 2025, 12:11:18 PMYou're making it hard for me to promote the good I've seen in Cousins when I watch those clips.

Wow

He's always had talent, but he choked in big moments. Now Trench, he's just plain shot.

Hard pill to swallow as there was always something I liked about the guy

I wouldnt be opposed to this for 1-2 years.  Not sold on any of the QBs this year.  Think Rodgers will be motivated to show what happened with the Jets was a fluke due to injuries.  Also think he may sign cheap (relatively speaking) as it is not about money at this point.  Rodgers, Carter/Graham/hunter at 3.  Milroe or someone at 34 and see if you can develop him over the next year and a half.

I'm warming up to this a little bit as well. I actually wouldn't mind trading down the third pick (assuming Hunter is gone) for another 2026 first rounder if that's possible, but I realize the odds of these guys doing that are close to zero, plus you obviously need another team to be interested and willing to pay the right price. 

Milroe wouldn't be my personal choice for a QB to take a shot on at 34 but that's a different conversation. As an overall strategy (whoever the day two QB is), I can think of worse ones than the above.

As for the really bad INT's... wondering if they could have been his opening argument to be traded. lol

As for Jones vs Rodgers, there ARE arguments for Jones (and a few against Rodgers we don't know about).

Lastly, assuming the Giants do want (and sign) Rodgers, how much (if any) of an indicator is it that the Giants plan to draft a QB this year? And, if that is also true, then does it mean the QB will be taken in the first (or high second) round?

If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

While this may well be correct, I don't know about the "no doubt" part. I think we can agree that Rodgers is a bit of a strange guy (I realize you and others may use a less flattering adjective), and winning another SB may not be the only factor in his thinking. In a press conference I heard him say his two years with the Jets were the best two years of his life. I found that bizarre, but he did say it. So who knows what his exact priorities are.

Jeff,

I don't pretend to know what goes on in that bizarre head of his.   That said, the Vikings play indoors, have a strong line and good receivers.  That's a pretty good checklist for an aging QB

Quote from: Trench on March 08, 2025, 10:31:40 AMMakes sense but the caveat I didn't realize u til it was pointed out today is he bought a home in NJ. He may really enjoy the tri state area.

He bought the home a year and a half ago (a nice 9 million dollar mansion in Cedar Grove).  When it comes to playing, the Vikings have indoor games, a great line, and great receivers.  I have to think the playing situation trumps his nice home.
