Re: Our long national nightmare is over!
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

The defense looked pretty good the last 1/3rd of the season. There were some head scratchers earlier though.

Impressive against the Panthers, indeed. Somehow befuddled Bryce Young into running out of clock to spike it for a game tying fg.
Then that gem against the Vikings 54th qb. Solid work.

Re: Our long national nightmare is over!
Curious, who was the Packer's backup if Love went down? An inexperienced rookie out of Penn State, right? Man, I wish the Vikings had the insight and gumption to do that. That's what knowledgeable staff do. Place rookie quarterbacks as their backups.Chuck North wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:25 am

The Vikings lost their starting QB and Mullens, their backup. Mullens is a good backup. So, they identified one at the start of the season.

Sean Clifford had a 100% completion percentage, 118 qb rating and a 37 yard completion average…. Beat that!!

No doubt.
Starting rookie quarterbacks as your backup plan is the way to go.
Signing a veteran backup like Mullings is dumb. Got it.

Re: Our long national nightmare is over!
No arguing that. But let's stay on point. Is it wise to enter the NFL season sans a seasoned, experienced backup? Or is using a rookie QB with no NFL experience the way to go? I just want to lock this trade in for future reference. Packer fans (as proven by the history of this board) can be awfully fickle. Would you all be comfortable with Sean Clifford at the helm if Love were to go down? Because of some lollipop bomb in a game against a team that was cooked for the season?anthony wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 3:22 pmPackers made the playoffs with their plan and Jordan love has as many playoff wins as kirk cousins and mullens combined….

And please don't confuse my question with the recklessness Minnesota Vikings fans are accustomed to when it comes to our team and the QB position. The Packers are way ahead of the game when it comes to taking that position seriously.

Re: Our long national nightmare is over!
My uneducated guess is that this season was a “find out what we have” season. Mark Murphy was probably as surprised as anyone that Green Bay went as far as they did. His thinking was “ If Jordan love shits the bed after his first 8 games, let’s see what this rookie can do…”Offsides 97 defense wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 4:35 pmNo arguing that.

Re: Our long national nightmare is over!
Well, that's pretty cavalier. Don't you think? Matt Flynn would have been a disaster. I think the argument made was the Vikings' inability to find a backup quarterback. They had a decent backup who got hurt as well. Most teams' seasons are over when their starter goes down. The 2017 Packers went 7-9 when Rodgers went down. That's the norm. That was the 2023 Vikings.
So we're clear: it's cool to throw a rookie QB on the roster as the backup, right? And that is sage advice for the rest of the NFL? Are you going to convince me had Love gone down, Clifford was the answer?

If the packers roster continues to gel and they can show they can compete for a superbowl then the calculus changes. At that point i think a proven veteran is more valuable than a rookie as a backup. But i think Jordan love is a pretty big unknown at this point and nobody expected Green Bay to contend this year. If love had struggled and you think his backup had potential why not give him a shot? You said yourself that if a starter goes down the season is shot so the backup is only there to be servicable for a few games if qb1 is sidelined for a game or 2.

Re: Our long national nightmare is over!
Again, the comment by Chuck Weak was directed at the Vikings' inability to find a backup. I think most people would agree that Mullins is a serviceable backup. Nobody wants to hold two starters on their team. However, if your starter goes down and your backup, your season is over. That's just the way it is. I am not even convinced had Mullens been healthy; you guys would have made the playoffs. Because they beat the Bears or Broncos with Mullens.anthony wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:15 pm

So it is your opinion that it is best practice to have a rookie QB who has never thrown an NFL pass as a backup? Unlike the Vikings, who signed a seasoned veteran at #2. That is all I am asking.
(Hypothetical, if the Vikings in the upcoming draft actually get their head out of their ass and move on a 1st round QB, they should dump Mullins and put a rookie late-round pick at #2? That's smart business, right?)
