That doesn't "make it so", North.

Two points...

1. That doesn't make Minnesota right. Case in point, they obviously felt they were wrong about Bridgewater, Bradford and Keenum.
2. That doesn't make Keenum bad. It just means Minnesota wanted the shinier toy.

So why did you reply like that as if everyone should know what you're talking about?

Yes - MN is the end-all-be-all in QB decision making.

We aren't talking about if it was right though. We are talking about why it happened. If Minny had been that confident in him they would of simply kept him. Instead, they went elsewhere and keep in mind this all comes on the heels of getting to the NFCCG.

Classic backpedal.

So, I'm guessing you aren't going to respond to Coach's post. I can only assume it's because it was 100% correct and you have zero rebuttal.

So, looking at Minnesota compared to Denver, I see 2 teams with great defenses, so that's a wash. On the OL, I think what we have as of today is much better than what Minnesota trotted out there last year. Even more if we were to draft a guy like Nelson. But the receiver spot is where everyone wants to focus on. So, I ask...how many good seasons did Diggs and Thielen have BEFORE Keenum was the QB? I mean, if they are the reason he was so good, why did they wait until 2017? Why didn't they make Bradford or Bridgewater look better in the years before?

Basically, Keenum is coming from a "stacked" team with a good defense, mediocre OL and good receivers...to an "un-stacked" team with a good defense, passable OL and good receivers.

So help me out here. What is it that made Minnesota so much more "stacked" last year than Denver is this year? Despite having the exact same strength of schedule and similar strengths and weaknesses. Was it maybe...just maybe...improved QB play?

Quoted so it doesn't get lost.

North?

I completely get the point that they feel like with a shinier QB they can get over that hump and get to the Super Bowl. And maybe they will. And maybe Keenum gets us to that game to meet up with them. Who knows. The only thing I'll contest is that I DO NOT think Minnesota thought Keenum was a "bad" QB. They simply think Cousins is abetter one. And in Denver, he'll have many of the same luxuries he had in Minnesota.

Funny you have time to respond to everything else that fits your narrative.

That's cool.
