    All depends on what else they have planned and what the price is.   I think I prefer Keenum to McCarron.

  • word on the street is that it would have cost the Vikings 19 million if they wanted to keep him so i would think he could be had between the 15 to 20 million range

  • what is with Keenum & this Skol chant? what does it all mean? Cleveland fans may have more than one chant for him..or hang miss-spelled signs

    "Not Franchising him" and letting him walk aren't the same. They'll let him test the market, and if they think the price tag is reasonable, they may resign him. 

    The Vikes have a lot of options, including going after Cousins, and keeping any combination of their FA quarterbacks. Case is obviously going to get a huge raise. 

  • Draft the Oklahoma midget for a fraction of the cost and more potential.

    Well, first off......I heard this morning that someone did a study of all starting QBs in the NFL......and that 19 million is just about the mean salary for an NFL Starting QB.   (meaning that half made more and half made less).   So, if he indeed would be their starting QB in the future,  19 mill would not be out of line to pay for him.

    So, if indeed they decide to let him go.....what is the Vikings plans going forward?  BrittleBridgewater?  Sam the Sham?   Or are they to make a serious run at Cousins?

    Skol is Norwegian....and it didn't start with Keenum, but goes back to the beginning of the Vikings as a franchise.  From an article:

    As the Minnesota Vikings creep closer to the Super Bowl, you may have come across many posts that include the chant "Skol Vikings!"

    It is the team's Viking war chant and comes from the Swedish, Danish and Noreigian word "Skål." A Skål was a bowl that was often filled with beer and shared among friends so the word became a way of saying "Cheers!"

    “Skol has been in our lexicon since the very beginning of the franchise in 1961,” Vikings Director of Brand and Creative Erin Swartz told WCCO in Minneapolis. “It was really like a Cheers! Vikings! We’ve scored, we’re celebrating, we’re winning.”

    they are going to let bridgewater test f.a also and they do have the money to go after cousins 

  • I say yes, get him and still draft White or Lauletta in the 3rd, getting both Barkley and Fitzpatrick in the 1st.  Less gamble with Keenum than with any single rookie.  We have seen what he can do, and it isn't anything to shrink away from.

    So....do you think that Keenum would be a long term answer such that we can pass on a so called franchise QB?  I am not that confident of that.

    They would have to know something about Keenum that the Vikings seemingly didn't find out, since they seem to be letting him walk. If the Browns skip QBs with two picks of the first four, I'll go oobatz.

    heard a giants fan today hoping Keenum would follow Shurmer to giants. Case can throw any ball outside the hash marks on time. anything over the middle on time..gets ugly

    I'd be curious how Keenum would perform in the AFC North, especially in the second half of the season. Doesn't seem to have an arm made for cutting through the wind on the lakefront.

    I heard in a radio interview that Cousins is only 4-19 against teams over .500 in his career. That's better than 1-31, but holy crap. 

    Like in most multiple choice tests, I'd go with your "C" in that list.

    Id just look at it like getting a super bowl experienced rookie.  I would feel more confident in him than any rookie to be any teams franchise qb.

    I think the jags would have been his perfect team, and him their perfect qb.

    Listened to plenty of the Combine talk on NFLN, and they didn't even mention the Browns when the subject of Cousins came up. I suppose Keenum would be OK, but like Cousins, he's 30 years old- and is he a one year wonder? 

    Just no to Bradford- too fragile. In his 10 years, he's only made it through a 16 game season twice. One complete washout (2014) and last year 2 games. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BradSa00.htm
