I never start threads, but I think this is important--You already know this stuff, but it may help to frame the situation at this time.

 

We just went toe-to-toe with the World Champions in their house.  They beat us by attacking our rookies and forcing a few turnovers.  Next year, they will not be rookies.  Next year, we will have a LT and another WR threat.  Next year, we beat them. Next year, we beat a lot of people.

 

About a third of the players who contributed was composed of rookie players (Brown, Norwell, Glanton, Ealy, Boston, Benwikere, Turner).  Of those somel were undrafted (Brown, Norwell, Glanton).  We had some overachievers, bargain-basement free agents like Remmers, Love, Cole, and Horton.   These players were assembled out of necessity due to some terrible contracts, dead money, and a cap deficit over $16m just 2 years ago. 

 

Then there were players on the roster whose talents were discovered.  Colin Jones, in my opinion, could be a pretty strong SS.  I think they should look at him there anyway.  Josh Norman stepped up and has become a strong CB.  All gained experience this year. 

 

We get everyone we want to return back next year.  In fact, most of our contracts are set through 2016, with the exception of Cam.

 

So what are our needs?  LT, WR for sure.  DT, RB, CB, S depth. 

 

Expect us to become elite in 2015.   These players are experienced now.  They are no longer rookies, bargain-basement free agent nomads, or bench warmers.   

 

The future is bright.

The future is bright as long as we get rid of Shula, Rogers, and Dorsey.

 

Why Dorsey? I think Cam was 10x better in the pocket tonight than last week. Dorsey had a lot to do with getting Cam be a lot better...

 

The problem is it came against the number one defense in the NFL.

I said the same thing. This game was the best experience you can hope for young players to have. On the road, in the playoffs, against the defending world champions in the toughest place to play in the NFL. They likely won't face anything that tough again - unless we go back to Seattle in the playoffs.

I would keep the qb coach.    This week,  Cam was somewhat comfortable in the chaos..  He was avoiding 1 to 2 defenders flying at him,  stepping up into the pocket.    Going through his reads.             

 

 

Just replace Shula and I would be happy.

Ramsdell > Dorsey

 

Idk what the fug is his role in this organization but he should be the QB coach. Next get an OC that he can be matched up

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

      From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
