Minnesota Vikings made GREAT decision to pay Justin Jefferson 

Jefferson leads by example. Not a Moss, Harvin, or Diggs. He has broken all the early first 4 years receiving records in Minnesota. As a fan, you applaud the signing. Great take, guys!

Draymond on TNT rn is like putting Richie Incognito on the halftime show in the playoffs with Kurt, Terry, Howie, Michael, and Jimmy

Antonio Brown would be the NFL equivalent of Draymond Green to speak on a broadcast on behalf of their league etc.. 26:30

If you look further into those Darnold 2022 games you will see that he got them to a 14 point lead against the Bucs in Tampa, before Brady and Evans combined for 200 yards and 3 TDs to escape with a win, in the game that effectively decided the division. Furthermore, Darnold inherited that team at 3-8, under an interim coach, after CMC was traded, and after Baker had opened the season 1-6. In the 49ers loss he quickly got them out to a significant lead, even after the starters were pulled, but then the kicker missed a 38 yd FG and a PAT, and the back up defence collapsed in the second half. Darnold's other spot duty for the 49ers came against Ravens who were trashing them. Darnold immediately drove the field for an 8 point TD, then drove the field in his next possession with time nearly up, and forced a pass into the end zone that was intercepted. I highly recommend for any Vikes fans who doubt Darnold to watch any of his 2022 or 2023 games. Jettas makes the QB better, and I don't think there is any reason why Darnold can't be just as effective as Cousins at running this Vikes offence.

The boys! I love this crew.

“Nfc championship game” guesses two AFC teams 😂

Aye thanks for answering my question!!! This is by far my favorite football podcast. Appreciate it guys👌🏻

Depends on the team build. Seems like they're doing the right thing. The counter-example to this is the Chiefs and Tyreek Hill. That trade created a bonanza of draft picks and gave tremendous cap relief for their free-agency moves. $30-$35 million a year will afford a team a number (greater than 1) of good players. Stay #1 at one position at the cost of being good at 4 or 5 positions? Not necessarily a good move, depending on the current (and future) state of your team build. If they really want a champion, they should show it by playing home games on real grass.

Good to see Jeremiah back home and refreshed! I wonder if the NFLPA want to see the longer "training camp" to have a chunk dedicated to what the OTAs that could give those rookies a better chance to learn and acclimate to the NFL.

Dumb Football Question #2: What the heck is a “quality control coach?” Is he in charge of the VCR remote control? 🤷‍♂️

Once you get traded or start playing for a new team you owe nothing to the old team. The question should be: "what idiot would trade a current player to a team you're playing this season?" If your OC doesn't put a couple of calls in to take advantage of players expecting a call to mean something else, then that's on them.

Great show guys!

Ceedee not getting a bigger deal than JJ! In your no salary cap the owner needs to be willing to spend. I don't see Jerry spending anymore than he has to!

Extending JJettas is why this franchise is perpetually good but not great. There’s always something missing with every team we’ve had. 60s-70s: lacked play makers and secondary 90s: lacked a QB and secondary 00s: lacked a QB and play makers 10s: lacked a QB and iOL 20s: lacked a QB and trenches We tie up money to HOF/pro bowl caliber players which hamstring us form improving areas and building depth.

Why does Jeremiah keep saying “Collier” instead of “Coller”? 😂 he’s worked with him for years! 🛎️

Jer's Boone impression is so goddamn on point i was dying 😂😂😂😂

The Shieldmaidens ceiling with Jefferson will be the Lions with Megatron. Both should have been traded for a haul of picks to do a proper rebuild/reset. Kwesi is clueless.

Dumb football question: Do any players fake injuries to avoid stuff?

Fabulous show, as usual

Makes the Aaron Jones pick up that much better.

What skills are necessary to be good at setting up screens or pulling, and do you enjoy doing it or do it begrudgingly?

There needs to be a comedy about a fringe player who was cut from one team for not paying attention being picked up by a rival team trying to get insider information. Only because he wasn't paying attention he doesn't have any good info and because of the particulars of the signing he has to stay on the active roster for the year. Meanwhile he knows he's not that great and nothing he does is going to effect how much he gets paid so he does all he can to avoid being put in situations where he's responsible for a game's outcome.

A lot of good decisions by the Vikings lately! I can't believe you all have a show on Tuesday. Lol Should be a day off!! 😂😂.

can you talk about players on the practice squad?

I’m guessing interview coming out later this week? Kind of rattled can’t listen atm

Had Jeremiah gotten a new microphone yet??? 20K

Another great episode! But who will start in Dallas if not Dak?

Didn’t Rudy have his his arms around a warriors player first then draymond grabbed Rudy ?

I’m late but it’s Tuesday. Just throwing it out there

Here’s my dumb football question: when the star receiver complains about getting the ball even when the team is winning do the players (especially other receivers) find that annoying or do they support it? What happens if the game plan was switched to cater the that star player and the team starts losing?

Generational great receiver deserves every penny

Jets makes the quarterbacks better, great signing by the Vikings.

How about more spring workouts for young players and let the vets stay home longer

Mackey, you keep making it sound like the decision to keep Hunter was based solely on the talk with the players 😮

Did J get his J.J. McCarthy jersey yet? I got mine 😂

I think it's admirable to promote human to human contact and outdoor play/work ect with our youth but you better be putting them in technology or some adjacent curriculum or school or they are going to be way behind most there peers with the abilities to use the technology of today and tomorrow which is what everything will be based on

You guys need Boone! Sorry…..not sorry!

Dumb Football Question: In your opinion, what person is the least valuable person on the coaching staff? There’s like 20 different coaches on teams nowadays. Coach Grant probably had like 2 asst. coachs…🤣

Trade Hunter before he walks and we get nothing for him🙂

OK if Darnold does great why would you think McHandoff will be playing and not sitting on the bench next year. I don't think McHandoff will be anything more than a backup in the NFL. Write that down...lol I need to see how he does throwing 40 times a game before I can tell if he will make it in the league. It will be a HUGE change for him from playing in college. He was asked to hand the ball off at Michigan not throw till his arm falls off...😂

It's disingenuous to include TJ Hockenson when discussing landing spots. He will miss the first 6 to 10 games recovering from surgery. Enjoy Tonyon, the one time he actually got open last year he dropped a perfectly thrown pass.

Dallas cowboys should have drafted spencer rattler

No Boone wtf

Dumb Football Question #3: What’s the most outlandish item one of your teammates purchased?

Darnold isn’t a good NFL QB. It would be a huge step forward if he became serviceable in his 7th season. I just don’t see how an athletically gifted, but mentally and emotionally incapable QB can take that next step. Poor performance under pressure cannot be coached around reliably. He will be pressured. And unfortunately, he hallucinates (sees ghosts), gets tunnel vision, cannot read the field, and turns the ball over. His athletic gifts have allowed him to carve out a career as a journeyman backup but he is quite simply a limited NFL QB. Better to hope that McCarthy balls out - which is at worst a 40% probability based on previous rookie first rounders - than invest energy in the highly improbable outcome of Darnold suddenly becoming a good starting QB.

What if jj isn’t the answer?

The biggest malcontent ? Either Diggs or Terrell Owens.

Stop trading Darnold away. McHandoff might not pan out then what? If Darnold has a great year why would you keep Mr McHandoff who is unproven and let the proven QB walk? Darnold is still young. 26 is very young yet for a QB so Im keeping Darnold until McHandoff can actually prove he can play in the NFL.

Paying a WR 35 million a year is only a good idea if you're certain you have a QB who can get him the ball. Since that is something Minnesota doesn't have it is almost 100% guaranteed that Jeffersons numbers will drop over the next couple of years while you develop that QB. Now you have the highest paid player on the team unhappy and bitchin about the QB which cannot help with that development. Having a QB and Edge on a rookie contract is only a good idea if you're rebuilding or just get lucky by finding 2 guys who can play at that level.

Draymond will be the worst HOF selection ever. Gross

Have to come here for Vikings news as PD has become unwatchable. Judd suffering from Vikings’ PTSD and Mackey trolling his own fanbase. At least here, Boone and Sirles keep him honest. It helps that this is the best show on YT but still, PD had been disappointing with the over the top panic and fear based takes. The commenters are in full on Chicken Little mode feeding off Judd and Mackey. Unwatchable and unreadable. Coller is now the voice of reason on all things Purple, particularly around Darnold and McCarthy.

Aaaahhhh Excuse me - but this guy laughed when you mentioned Sam Darnold, seriously. Obviously, his opinion, however, I must say that I do not put much stock in his opinion on this Specific matter, lol. Slinging Sammy is the FIRST guy I thought of the second you posed the question. IFFFF Sam can show what he is Truly capable of with the Vikings and has a Good year, getting the Vikings to a 10 - 7ish record, heck OR Dare I say BETTER (as long as we do not get hit with any key injuries on offense or defense). There is Absolutely NO reason for the Cowboys Not to call him. By the way I agreed Immediately that Dak has got to go. I NEVER thought he was a top qb even after he stated that he was after his first year. Dak seems like a Really Good Guy, but Sorry, I never saw him as a Top guy. Obviously, the results NOW speak for themselves - he has proven he is not. So Dak is Gone and that is a No Brainer! I will put 50g's down right now that IFFFF Sam has a Slingin Good year 10 - 7ish and especially IF the Vikings make the playoffs - Yes, PLAYOFFFFFS! Jerry picks Sam up on his personal plane! UNLESS, some other Top QB becomes available somehow. Barring any unforeseen event such as that. Sams Star Shines in Minni, Sammy will be a Cowgirl next year, Guaranteed! Heck, maybe Sam gets the Vikings to the Superbowl - OMG, he stays with the Vikings and JJ sits another year (IF he is not ready). OR IFFF JJ is ready the Vikings TRADE Slingin Sammy to the cowgirls. How cool would that be, Jerry owes us bigtime! My understanding is that Sam signed a 2 yr deal with some kind of option after the first. I have NO IDEA as I am NOT a hardcore follower of the Vikings (WAY TO MUCH PAIN after 50 yrs of heartache H - - L, lol, but not funny). Have a Nice Day Guys - I Enjoy the Show, but it's better when you have the Crazy Tazmanian Psycho Boy running around biting heads off of chickens, lol.

Looking through the lenses of my purple goggles I really believe Sam Darnold is going to have a good year. If so, given his relatively young age do you sign him to a long term contract mid season? Then your options are open on who you are going to roll with moving forward and the other has trade value or would that be screwing with psyche's and getting greedy?

Wat a wussy.. every one goes to work everyday with no days off.. u are getting paid millions of dollars for a 6mo season..

The line didnt move. Vikes still underdogs in All 17 games... Yall just sold your souls to Kirk's stat padding buddy. RIP
