Vikings must trade for a quarterback to give their all-world defense a shot
He needs to trade for a quarterback who can provide an inkling of help to the Vikings’ incredible defense.
Key points
- The Vikings didn’t even necessarily need an outstanding quarterback performance to have a chance to beat the Bills on Monday.
- Wentz was horrific on Monday night against a bad Bills defense, completing just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards with three turnovers and a passer rating of 8.9 (the lowest by an NFL QB with at least 25 attempts since Jets Sam Darnold in 2019).
- The Vikings need to go out and do whatever it takes to acquire a starting-caliber quarterback.
If the Vikings don’t trade for a quarterback tomorrow, they’re not a serious franchise.
There isn’t a whole lot of time between the end of the Vikings’ 23-6 loss to the Bills on Monday night and the NFL trade deadline, which is at 3 p.m.
Additional details
- What they can — and must — do is scour what’s out there and go get a new quarterback.
- Kyler Murray is dealing with a hamstring injury and probably isn’t the answer either, considering how he played in the Vikings’ two previous games.
- Their defense just needed competence from its offense.
- 1 offense, then eventually wore down while spending over 42 minutes of game time on the field, as any defense would.
- But there’s enough time for GM Nolan Teasley to work the phones and do what must be done.
