Can the Vikings lose yet another NFC Championship?

If it weren't for Jefferson's exceptional athleticism and length, there's no way that's a catch, and it nearly wasn't.

Overall, though he's been pretty good for a while. He's got pretty good numbers across the board, as far as QB stats go. He needs several top-tier weapons, a solid running game, a good OL, to be that successful, meaning he can't make do with lesser weapons/OL/running game. He's just not that dude.

Anyway, if I were MIN ownership, I'd be looking for another QB, unless I thought I could build a top-10 defense for next season.

He and Dak will NEVER win the big games needed. Oh sure they will flash just enough to get the fanbase at least in hope mode but seriously they will not take you to glory. Just watch Dak tonight!!

Oh, I completely agree. They need everything to be perfect just to be in the conversation, but take away just one piece of the supporting cast and they fold. Rapidly. And the fact is that in the NFL one rarely goes into the postseason with all the parts and pieces 100% ready to go.

This is what I’ve been saying about CJ stroud. And why I like Trevor Lawrence’s potential. The “it factor” thing is so cliche but it’s also true. Big Ben was a seriously flawed qb but man in his prime that guy was a beast when it mattered most. Maybe stroud found it in the Georgia game. I guess we’ll see.

An even better example is Sam darnold. I still can’t get over the rose bowl game where in the 4th quarter down 2 scores he was walking into the huddle and letting the whole playclock wind down. No urgency.

It’s just another reason we are so crazy blessed to have our qb. The way he shakes off mistakes and knows the right mix of urgency and poise is just absurd for a guy his age.
