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.

    Short-term, I don’t think it matters. The ceiling is very low with any of the 3 options. Long-term, both 1 and 3. The league is very QB-needy but the draft is also pretty deep. Someone will be there that’s worth either their 1st or 2nd. Then try to re-sign Kirk to both help mentor and give this roster a shot at being competitive. We compete for a Super Bowl with Kirk (and hopefully a defense that’s both bolstered with new talent and still led by Flores) for a year or 2 then move on when Kirk is approaching 40. I mean, maybe Kirk goes full Brady and plays well at that age but that’s a tough thing to expect.
