Who Should Be The Vikings Backup QB?

I voted other. There's no doubt that Cousins should be our QB2, backing up Sloter

Siemian is dead to me.

Probably not. He's just a Vikings fan. lol.

Shut up, you love Sloter too and you know it. I saw you gushing over him in the game day thread last night as he looked awesome again. I could tell he was making your panties moist.


And why are we relying on ancient "experience" with an unrelated team and supporting cast? Shouldn't we be looking at their most recent body of work with the exact same team and supporting cast? There's some crossover with the players Siemian and Sloter have been playing with, with the exact same coaching and play calling, and the results couldn't be anymore different and obvious. And I didn't even mention the eye test. Ignore everything you know about either guy and just look at how they look. Which guy looks like a QB and which guy looks like Ponder?


Now you're just delusional. Lets follow your "logic" here. Throwing to the same guys, Beebe/Wieneke, Siemian has sucked ass, while Sloter has looked good, but swap Beebe/Wieneke for Diggs/Thielen and suddenly Siemian is the better QB? Besides, did you see the tweet above? Siemian won't be throwing to Diggs/Thielen, he'll be throwing to Cook/Murray. Sloter actually targets the WR's.

But here's the most important point. If Cousins goes down, we're screwed with either Siemian or Sloter. Neither are going to take us anywhere, especially not deep into the playoffs, but which one will benefit more from the experience? Siemian has already had "experience" and we know what he does with it. Here's a hint, nothing. Siemian isn't the future, he's just another stop gap. Sloter is possibly the future so he (and we) would benefit most from him getting that experience. And who knows, maybe he'll surprise us. Siemian sure the hell won't. Would you rather roll with the unknown or roll with the guy you know sucks?

And if the goal is a Super Bowl or bust, then Rick better get on the phone because it's definitely bust if Cousins goes down. They should cut Siemian immediately and sign someone else with experience. I half jokingly mentioned Cutler in another thread, but I'd definitely take him over Siemian if we could get him for cheap. I'll have to take a look to see who else is available right now.

Baltazar?

By golly, it is.
