Who's Sam Donald?

I would take Lee Hunter over a wr.

Uh, guys with McDermotts record dont go back down a step. He'll have his pick of jobs. Josh Allen or not.

Meh.

He actually had plenty of good flashes with us but he was absolutely thrown to the wolves. I said at the time that we had our guy but he need some talent around him. That ended up being exactly the case.

I mean in his defense there was a good team in his way a lot of those years. Sucks but you can’t control a top 5 all time qb being in his prime against you. Same way the early 90s chiefs couldn’t get past the bills.

Glaring needs all over the place. WR is not on the list.

Steve Wilks would have lasted about as long as Frank Reich did. He's had two DC jobs since leaving here and was fired from both; let's not pretend he's the second coming of Vince Lombardi. Would he have been better than Frank Reich? Of course, but that's not saying much. Darnold was a free agent after 2022 and was highly unlikely to choose to re-sign here under Wilks or anyone else. And even if he had, he would never have developed into what he is now. The difference for Sam Darnold was the year he spent as a backup on San Francisco under Kyle Shanahan and then going to Minnesota under another offensive guru in Kevin O'Connell. Had he re-signed here instead he would be a backup QB on some random team right now instead of preparing for the Super Bowl. Do you think it's a coincidence that we had both Darnold and Baker Mayfield and neither produced here, but both became franchise type QBs after leaving for better situations elsewhere?

It just dawned upon me that with Leonard Williams playing in the Super Bowl, there's a good chance that Derrick Brown could be his replacement. Here's to hoping that he will be named soon.

That was a good one, I just rewatched it after Snoop's netflix halftime show.

Horn is made to be a press man CB no doubt. He claimed we don't have the personnel (talent) to play straight up man.

Not when said QB is Josh Allen, it would be like when Andy Reid retires in the next few years and KC making the hire without involving Mahomes in the discussion at all. When you have a QB like they, they 100% should be involved in the discussions to make sure there is alignment and the QB/HC will mesh well together. I'm sure they didn't just let him make the decision as that would be dumb, but it would be even dumber to have not involved him in the process at all.

The press conference was ugly and would make any coach a little concerned about working for said owner. But HC jobs for the team with the best QB in the league in the middle of his prime don't come around too often. I think every candidate would be able to look past the owner in this situation to get a chance at having Allen's prime years to chase a ring. I still think if they lose in the first round and thus fired McDermott a week earlier, Harbaugh very likely would have been their next HC, but this all happened after he was already lined up with the Giants.

Some QBs take several years to become a good starting QB. Sadly this league has no patience, like they did in the past. Aaron Rodgers, Mike Vick never really saw any playing time their rookie years. They sat back and watched a professional QB. Left out Jake Delhomme. Now every once in a while you get a guy in his rookie year that blows poo up like Cam but that is not common.

My main beef with EE is that he completely misuses Horn, even with a pass rush and better linebackers he is still will not let Horn on their best player for the majority of the snaps. Its frustrating

One can only hope

I remember drafting him for my fantasy league when he came out of college and it cost me a Superbowl smh seeing ghosts. When he was traded here, my wife bought me PSL , and I hated on him then. After the last two years I will admit he has proven me wrong...and I have accepted that... because I know now Young has the same chance to prove why he went number 1 as well, I just hope it's for us.

Always a classy guy. Showed progress his final season here, but we can never fool ourselves, he would not be who he is staying here, he would have plateaued. Smartest thing he ever did was take the backup role in SF and learn in the Shannahan system. HE followed that to Minnesota where he had elite Recievers and a smart offensive head coach who operates a similar system. he developed there and now has the knowledge to go with the physical tools he has to succeed at a high level.

I love Tyson. I think he will be fantastic, but would we really pay 3 young WR’s 2nd big money contracts down the road? Seems like a poor allocation of resources in a salary cap word if we plan on keeping TMac and Coker long term.

At least we didn't toss Sam to the side after going 14-3 with him. Vikings fans have to be on sui watch.

Exactly! I'm going to go off on a limb here and guess the two above Horn are probably two of the more recently paid top CBs in the league. That's just how it works. Some players that can cover the middle of the field plus a pass rush would do wonders for our CBs.

Pure class. Wish he had never gotten hurt in that 2022 pre-season or things might have been different. Pat Mahomes would have been a loser with Rhule at the helm, it is what it is.

We really didn't give him much of a chance. Our entire team was in shambles, and he didn't have much help here. He balled out against LA and he's proven he can win big games. We gave up on him way too soon. Good luck to him.

The sweep had a whole lot to do with a QB who couldn't eclipse 200 yards passing to save his life. I would argue that's the primary culprit. Plenty of blame to go around.

Guy has been giving his all with 5 different franchises and has been kicked to the curb again and again. He never talks down about his previous teams or players. Seems like an upstanding dude who has earned his chance. Happy that between Mayfield and him, he gets to go and try for a ring.
