I think it was bold enough for a single and possibly a double. 

I listed it as a double, BTW.

I saw that. It's looking better for me with all the CB injuries, but when I made the prediction it was double worthy. You just updated everything. Thanks.
Why are you giving both Die Hard and I singles on our JJ depth chart predictions. Mine is stronger than his regarding JJ rising to 2. Is it because he loses if JJ rises to 1?

A single is for 50-50 predictions and around the 40-60% spectrum, which I think the JJ at #2 predictions fall into. Yours does end sooner but given the history of 1st round QBs vs veteran backups, I dunno, I never saw it being under 40%. I don't think it's that bold of a prediction based upon the caliber of player I think McCarthy is.

I fully understand that me getting more than a single for that prediction is too much. It's just he makes a weaker prediction and gets the same credit. I'm good with it because I win whether McCarthy gets 1st or 2nd and he's already acknowledged he loses if McCarthy gets first.

Dart throw time can’t think of nothing . I say we sign Dillon Johnson just released by Titans RB as some point coming up.

Drank, I've been meaning to tell you that you have already made 32 predictions for 2024 - so you only have 13 left, though I might push the limit to 50. So you might want to shift your predictions to more of the 'bigger' ones, so you can take this one back if you wish. You can go over the limit and keep making predictions, they just won't count for the contest.

Bet take that back then. Because I will have to make my playoff and Super Bowl predictions later. I need room for that. So yeah I better skip that dart throw. Thanks for letting me know how many I have left. Going to be selective with my last few.

[Drank]

I definitely going up to the amount allowed. As you know I love playing.

[Drank]

Chat is my slugging percentage better than batting average?

So I know if I should fence swing or be more safe. With these last few. I will put up other stuff closer to week 1.

If you busy don’t worry about it tonight just when you can. As I’m not making none right now. Hopefully it’s fence swinging. It’s way more fun to go big for me.

[VikingsVictorious]

Jalen Nailor wins the competition for WR3.

[VikingsVictorious]

Gabe Murphy makes the opening day 53.

I just saw Phil Mackey make the same prediction on Write that down, but I had not seen it and it had no influence on my prediction.

I've already got 1 prediction on when McCarthy will start and one about when the Vikings Rookie QB will start, and one more about when McCarthy will "officially" move up the depth chart. If it's OK I'm going to make one more. JJ McCarthy starts week one.

Eh, your new one directly conflicts with this one:

JJ McCarthy starts by week 5 or sooner.

If you really want to double down, I suppose I could cross that one off and add the new one as it is more specific?

[Drank]

I have one more to spare before my in season record stuff.

1. Nick Muse makes the roster Tonyan gets cut.

[VikingsVictorious]

All 2024 Vikings draft picks, with the exception of Khyree Jackson of course, make the 53 man roster during the first two weeks of the season. This is to allow for the roster shenanigans of the first week of the season.  

[Danchat]

It's been a while since the last PPA round-up, so here we go!

Correct

Danchat Justin Jefferson will get an extension from the Vikings by Week 1 that will make him the highest paid receiver in the league.

I got this one wrong last year, but second try is the charm.

VikingsVictorious Jefferson signs an extension with the Vikings no later than 7 days after the beginning of training camp.
ocampo82 Whoever the Bears pick is going to be a$$ (Fields)

This was a 2020 prediction! Given that Fields was traded for almost nothing, it's confirmation that he is a bust.

Drank Either Booth or Evans gets traded or cut before week 1.
Danchat Andrew Booth Jr. will not be on the roster Week 1 of 2024

These were only singles as this was fairly apparent, though it seemed Booth had a clear shot with Jackson and Blackmon not playing.


Wrong

VFL Jefferson is traded to the Falcons
Drank We trade Justin Jefferson to Cincy for Tee Higgins and a pick or two
tfundermann Jefferson's new contract is announced before May 15th
oldman The Vikes draft Mike Pratt in 2024 draft
Drank The Vikings will sign Cam Akers before training camp

I'm really surprised this one didn't happen.

Drank Mekhi Blackmon leads the team in interceptions this year.
idavike Vikings will trade for Joey Bosa
VFL 5) The Bears will trade their #1 pick (via Car) to Washington.
diehardtwinsfan The Vikings will receive some form of compensation for Atlanta tampering with Kirk, either via an agreement with Atlanta to make it go away or via Roger's hammer.

We tried to tell you this was never happening. There is no precedent for teams losing the player tampered being given the other team's picks.

VikingsVictorious Khyree Jackson will be Mr. Mankato.

Ugh.


And for some predictions we are keeping a close eye on:




Drank 2024 JJ last season with us. Even if he signs an extension he will then ask out. This regime a clueless bunch until I see different.

Good luck on that one... though Jefferson is tradable at only a $30M dead cap hit next year if he is moved before his option is activated. Once that happens, it's a $60M dead cap hit!

Danchat One of three of the "bust trio" - Cine, Booth Jr, and Asamoah - will become a full-time starter for another team by the midpoint of 2025.

Booth is the first to go... but honestly, I don't know why I made this prediction. Cine and Booth ain't starting in 2025 for other teams. Asamoah maybe but he isn't getting the axe.

VikingsBoss No rookie QB NOT named Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels starts more than 5 games or throws more than 150 passes.

This one is going to take an insane amount of things to go right/wrong to happen. Nix is slated to start and the likelihood of both McCarthy & Maye throwing less than 150 passes seems unlikely.
