And reading that he was willing to restructure his last year on his contract shows me that Minnesota made the right choice. I'm not a fan of a mobility qb in the NFL, a qb who is a boot leg style qb has a far shorter career to a qb that can stay in the pocket. That is a fact that I could give you all kinds of examples to prove my point, if you want to have a career with more years stay between the tackles.
Nope i like Kurt, knowing that he wants to finish out his career in Minnesota tells me that drafting another dark horse qb in the later rounds and having a experienced vet qb to show him the ropes is beneficial to the team.
A good example of a good hard team dedicated vet qb with a old-school mentality is Brett Favre, look at what Aaron was able to accomplish on day one of leading the packers offense. Watching Aaron and Brett play in the same game on opposing teams was scary how similar they commanded their offense. Youtube the last years of Brett and the first years of Aaron and you will see almost carbon copy similarities.
The last time you had that back to back qb in a team was joe Montana and Steve Young,.and the reason i believe that was is because of Mike holmgren who was San Francisco qb coach who was there when Montana was qb.
There may be another example that I'm not thinking of but the point is Kurt is not a bad qb and to me is a player who has a great attitude to teach the next generation of qb.
Just think what mack Jones could have accomplished if Tom Brady could have stayed in New England, we can tell that tb was the glue for that team and the patriots should have kept him around until he was ready to hang up his jersey.
Do you know who tb favorite qb is and was there in the stadium when he played? He was there when Montana got injured because he took unnecessary risks by being a mobile boot leg style qb. TB knew that taking less money would give him the best possible opportunity to win rings, and bring the best o line money could buy. Did you know that tb took his whole o line out the night before the game and payed for their supper? Tb is the goat on and off the field any ? marks that people want to put next to the years the Pats won super bowls can be placed solely next to the patriots coaching staff nfl history books.
Montana was the first (goat) tough as nails mobile boot leg qb slash 3 time mvp super bowl champion. TB, who is San Francisco native, was there to watch every one of those years, becoming in his own era the greatest of all time 6 time super bowl champion that will be hard to duplicate maybe in a future generation, but I doubt it.
Kurt is the right qb for the vikes unless dobbs can miraculously continue his no fear of injuries style of mentality and bring this team to a post season, KC is my vikes qb.
