Harrison Hitman Smith’s Future? Retirement? Hall of Fame?

Join Darren and Dave on this episode of “Two Old Bloggers”, discussions revolve around the future of Viking Harrison Smith and his potential for Hall of Fame. The performance of the Vikings’ coach and coordinators in 2023 is evaluated. Lastly, the Vikings’ quarterback situation and the potential shift from Kirk Cousins to a new, young player is explored.

Harrison Smith’s Viking Journey

We discuss Harrison Smith’s future on Two Old Bloggers. As Smith approaches 35 and hints at retirement, his $19.2 million 2024 cap number seems hefty for his diminished performance. With the Vikings’ contract issues, Smith’s return seems unlikely. Comparisons with Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu suggest Smith could be a candidate, but his lower profile may be a drawback.

Vikings’ Coaching Evaluation

We review the performance of the Vikings’ coach and coordinators. Despite a challenging season, Kevin O’Connell handled the injury-riddled roster well. However, the running game’s inefficiency needs attention. With Wes Phillips not calling plays, it’s hard to assess his role. Brian Flores, the defensive coordinator, performed commendably. Special teams coordinator Matt Daniels’ future seems uncertain due to the team’s underperformance.

Vikings’ Quarterback Review

The discussion ends with the Vikings’ quarterbacks. Although Kirk Cousins has been consistent and is appreciated, we believe it’s time for a change due to his age and injury. If Cousins leaves, a mentor for the new quarterback will be crucial. The Vikings are entering a new era, and a young player will be the fans’ new hope.
