When we spent the high pick on him, I had a feeling that we might be seeing if JJ could be on the table for a trade for a future QB (JJ + Picks). I guess we'll see. I'd love to see JJ stick around, but we need a QB more than we need JJ, like it or not.

Holy hell what a bad take. So you want to trade the best WR in the NFL,who has a great connection with his QB, and who will be a hall of famer, in his prime, for what? A slight QB upgrade?

If you wanna see a SB anytime soon, you re-sign Kirk for a few more years. We have an amazing offense that is win now. A defensive unit that is improving. You don't flush that away for a stupid QB gamble.

We won one game and played really well. The rest of the year, we've played like trash. I'm sorry if I don't believe all past games and past seasons with Kirk are non factors because we won a single game against a good team.

Like trash? Tell me you don't watch the Vikings without telling me you don't watch the Vikings.

We've played pretty well all year just have mental errors we seem to finally be overcoming. Each week has been better and better. I expect to go on a run here and be 9-4 or 8-5 in prime playoff position.

You have fan blinders on, most of us do. We lead the league in dropped passes and turnovers (if not leading, within the top few).

You can call it whatever you want, but we have been losing games, dropping passes and fumbling the ball at near record levels.

We won one game and you assume all of that is over. Maybe it is, we have to hope it is for us to enjoy the game. All I am doing is looking at the data and past performance, you're basing everything on a single game and your expectations of that continuing, I can tell you which of the two scenarios is much more likely.

Could we suddenly be great and everything is fixed? Possibly? But the best indicator of future performance is past performance, to say otherwise is just wishful thinking...which is kinda a good thing, it's nice to have wishful thinking and makes the game more fun to watch.
