This is a no frills forum designed for entertaining discussion about our beloved Vikings. Many of us have been discussing Vikings football together for years/decades, resulting in a camaraderie which we strive to preserve.
Atlanta not only got Kirk out of our hair but they passed on Turner making him available
Remember in his opening press conference when Kirk was praising the Falcon organization for all being on the same page? Apparently they aren't even in the same book

And the cherry on top for the trifecta is the tampering charges that could improve the vikes draft position.
Since their epic Super Bowl collapse, the Falcons are a team with no plan. Swiss cheese defense and no QB? Let's take a WR Drake London. Swiss cheese defense again and no QB? Let's take TE Kyle Pitts. Swiss cheese defense once again and no QB? Let's take RB Bijan Robinson. Sign a QB in FA to a mega deal? Let's draft a QB in the top 10.
The more I think about it, the more I respect the Falcons for this.
Imagine if the Vikings drafted Lamar Jackson the month after they signed Cousins in 2018? Sucker Cousins in for a win-now deal and then leverage our future at the same time. It’s a business after all.
I get Penix is a bit older but if he’s better…he’s better.

I kind of agree. Obviously Kirk was a move spearheaded by Blank but the gm has to look beyond the now. While today it may not make sense but in a year or less if Kirk struggles or gets hurt again you have a guy waiting in the wings

I can't get behind that if I'm a falcons fan. If you had any doubt on Kirk being the guy a couple months later, then why were you signing him in the first place? If you're signing Kirk, it's to go all in the next two years. So you better do everything you can to make that signing beneficial.
If you're picking in the top 10 after spending minimum $90M guaranteed on a FA QB, you better be landing an impact player that can step in now to help you win, especially when you're going all in on a 35 year old QB.
I don't get it and just glad that's not a team I root for.

definitely a disconnect between ownership and the gm/coach and that usually doesn't end well for the gm in that scenario

I agree with you there. It’s absolutely doing your fans and even some of the vets on the team dirty.
