The Skoloholics Mailbag

email, newsletter, email marketing-3249062.jpg

Good Morning!

It’s time for our weekly mailbag here at Skoloholics. As always our staff will research your questions about the Vikings, NFL or life in general with a well thought out mediocre answer.

For salary cap questions I’ll continue using overthecap.com so I’m consistent with the numbers.

Any trades involving draft picks I’m using the updated NFL Trade Value Chart developed by Rich Hill available at https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp

For evaluating or looking up draft prospects or rookies my go to is thedraftnetwork.com

If I can’t come up with what I think is a legitimate answer, I’ll ask someone who I think can provide one.
Leave us a question in the comments section, I’ll revisit it later in the week.

Cutoff for questions will be Wednesday evening, the mailbag will post on Thursday morning depending on what I have going on in real life.

Should KOC rest everyone for Sunday or play them to get some confidence heading into the playoffs?

Which veteran long-time Vikings will NOT be on the roster in 2023?

What will Kwesi do with the veteran contracts this offseason as he attempts to infuse talent for the defense? What position will he target in the draft if he doesn’t trade the pick again (Tyler Linderbaum would have been a nice upgrade in the 2022 draft)?

In a way, I’m going to echo Surly. My question has a couple parts, but all pertain to the QB position.

  1. Is Kirk the answer going forward? I think that in order to answer this, we have to ask a question or two.
  2. Going by AAV, Kirk is the 9th-highest paid QB in the NFL. Is this commensurate with his level of play compared to the rest of the QBs in the NFL?
  3. Can Kirk help you win a Super Bowl?
  4. If he IS the answer, we obviously need to try to extend him, correct?
  5. If he IS NOT the answer, then where do we go from here? We have Kirk for one more year.
  6. Draft? Who is available in the late first or 2nd round?
  7. Target a QB via trade or FA? Highly unlikely, unless you see potential in a guy like Mayfield or something.

Hmmm, I had those bullet points indented, but it didn’t indent when I submitted the comment. I need to speak to a manager.

Fuck Kirk Cousins. He is shit.

Oh, wait, I am supposed to ask a question.

Will the Vikings finally move on from this QB that is useless when pressured?
He has enough history to prove that the narrative is correct most of the time.
He has a few outlier games where in prime time or in a big game he plays well.
Blind squirrel finding a nut.

Case Keenum took us on a similar ride in 2017.
Look where he is.

He’s actually been one of the best QBs against the blitz this season.
