Looks like QB Lamar Jackson is returning to Minnesota

This guy gets around a lot in the PNFL.

Minnesota traded him to me last season for WR Victor and OT Thomas who are currently WR3 and T2 in Minnesota. I traded him to Atlanta for 2.5 points in the offseason. Atlanta tagged him as their XT and cut him last week. This week he was signed as a free agent by Minnesota. I considered putting a 0 point bid in for him over the weekend, but the Vikings got their 1 point bid in fast on Sunday.

Winner of this merry-go-round is clearly Minnesota. They got three starters basically for 1 point.

Wouldn't want to be one of the two backup QBs in Minnesota right now - one or both is likely cut.

With Tua out for 9 weeks, the Vikings will clearly start QB Jackson the rest of the season. Should be interesting to see if he thrives in the Viking's system and that Atlanta just wasn't his vibe. :lol:

I guess I made a contribution to the Vikings if Jackson is able to play well enough to hold the job there this time. 11 of 34 is not going to cut it, in the same system where former backup Ben DiNucci completes 70 percent of his passes.

I guess I owned something to Barney since I knocked him out of the layoffs in 2039 and 2040 when I was in KC.

11 for 34 with 9 sacks in a 25-0 loss running a very solid offensive game plan isn't a vibe any team should be interested in.

DeShone Kizer might be the only truly successful former Tenn/Pitt/KC/Atl QB to be successful since he has a SB win to show for it. Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs are both 92 84 QBs that have been flashes in the pan.

How many times this season has a QB gone 11 for 34 this season in ATL's system?

As opposed to losing 49-0 in your system?

You mean he completed 70% against the 17th ranked pass defense and the offense looked horrible. Special teams is why that game was won. The offense in that game was Kick Return TD, Fumble return for 50+ yrd into scoring position, and 2 40+ yrd passes. The special teams added a block FG. DiNucci with out the two big plays was at 5.25 yrds/att and only 7.7 yard per completion. That makes Detroit look like an air it out team.

I mean how long can you keep blaming the QB when ex Dean QB's go on an win all around the league. Dean you are smart enough to realize the QB isn't the problem. Hurts is winning with the Niners.

Oh Steve it is 2 starters for a point because At the start of that transaction he had Lamar. Trade break down

Minnesota
WR Victor(WR3) and OT Thomas(T2) for 1 point

LA
2.5 Point for WR Victor and OT Thomas

Atlanta
Lost 2.5 points and XT tag got nothing in return.

DeShone Kizer is the ONLY ex Dean QB to be truly successful after leaving my team, other than Jake Locker being on my team and I made a rookie mistake to trade him to the Giants. Joshua Dobbs, Mason Rudolph, and Justin Fields are flashes in the pan at best. I never played Jalen Hurts, he was a backup, and he has played in SF ONLY as a backup to Joe Burrow. DeNucci didn't dominate and WIN the game but he also did not LOSE the game, as Lamar Jackson and Trey Lance did quite routinely this season in ATL. The running game for my team last week was terrible, if my offense had run the ball better it would have been more effective.

The trades for both Jackson and Lance were busts.

I don't see what LA and MIN exchanging a WR and OT has to do with the QB trades and signings.
