Well, yours truly almost forgot about the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll about our Minnesota Vikings for this week. But fear not, for I have remembered just before I was about ready to turn in on this Sunday night, so let’s get you those results, shall we?
Yes. . .we shall!
We had two questions for you this week, both of which involved members of the current roster. The first one has to do with edge rusher Jonathan Greenard and whether or not you think the Vikings should trade him away. The answer to this one comes as a bit of a surprise to yours truly.
Of those who responded to our poll, 58% of you think that the Vikings should trade him away if the team can get a first-round pick for him. There were a couple of teams who were interested, most notably the Philadelphia Eagles and the Seattle Seahawks, who pick towards the bottom of Round 1, but I’m not sure if Rob Brzezinski and company could pry that pick away from them or not.
After that, 26% of our respondents said not to trade him away, while 16% think that the team should trade him away even if they couldn’t get a first-rounder for him. I would assume that such a deal would involve at least a second-round selection and not just giving him away for peanuts or anything like that. But I’m surprised that the margin between trading him away for a first and not trading him at all was so wide, to be honest.
The other question had to do with the quarterback position, specifically whether or not you thought J.J. McCarthy was done in Minnesota after the signing of Kyler Murray. This question came before the signing of Carson Wentz. . .whether or not you believe such a signing would affect McCarthy’s status in Minnesota. Either way, however, it appears that common sense has prevailed among those who answered our poll questions for this week.
Of those who participated in our poll, only 26% of them said they thought McCarthy’s time in Minnesota was over with in light of the Murray signing. I’ve gone over my feelings about McCarthy and why it would be ridiculous to give up on him already in this space on numerous occasions, so I won’t beat the proverbial dead horse any further. But I am happy to say that I’m in a larger majority on this one than I thought I might be.
As always, we want to thank everyone who participated in our poll for this week. We’ll have more of these going forward, so keep your eyes open!
