QB2 rumors...former Heisman winner
Looking at a post of all the remaining QBs for the Vikings to select for QB2 and none of those names were appealing, except one did jump out at me as intruiging.
Marcus Mariota.
I watched him at Oregon. Stud.
Here were all the FA QBs at the start of Free Agency. Cross off those that have already signed (or that we would rather slash our wrists than sign...R E L A X, A-aron Rodgers (NO WAY)
Aaron Rodgers
Russell Wilson
Jameis Winston
Joe Flacco
Gardner Minshew
Marcus Mariota
Drew Lock
Mac Jones
Carson Wentz
Mason Rudolph
Jacoby Brissett
Cooper Rush
Desmond Ridder
Trey Lance
Case Keenum
Easton Stick
Taylor Heinicke
Brandon Allen
Kyle Trask
Josh Johnson
C.J. Beathard
Kyle Allen
Teddy Bridgewater
Jeff Driskel
Tyler Huntley
Tim Boyle
Mike White
Bailey Zappe
Sam Ehlinger
This is an especially big deal with a rook QB. We went from an embarrassment of riches in that room to echo's.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Options:
Carson Wentz 32
Russell Wilson 36
Mac Jones 26
Jameis Winston 31
Drew Lock 28
Marioto would be one of the last guys I’d call tbh. Didn’t he quit midseason after getting benched a couple years ago in Atlanta? No thanks.
Flacco, Jones, Keenum stick out to me. Stick would be a nice QB3 to have.
As I said in another thread, out of the names available I think Flacco would be great for JJ McCarthy. As far as if the backup actually had to play, I'd like Mac Jones and see if KOC could "Darnold" him into becoming productive
I’m on the Mac Jones bandwagon.
Mac Jones has a lot of comments on his locker room dynamic. Doesn't sound like a culture fit with our young QB. Minshew would be better in a supporting role, you know the Uncle Rico role.
Hendon Hooker might be available for minimal compensation. But I’d want someone who started and won games.
Mike White could be interesting.
Minshew could thrive.
