You guys are casuals . This guy is pretty good and play hard . I’m not mad at it and I’m not saying he will be a star . But comparing him to Mario Addison is the prefect comparison . I like his upside and we didn’t pay him way too much . 

Casuals--great word.

This is what you do in free agency---you do not shoot for the stars--fool's gold.

i mean if you go back to what MHS just said earlier in the thread, and if you ask most vikings fans/look up what they think of him, there's nothing but postivity. he has the traits to be a potential starter, and i think we're signing him to see if he can be that for us. interesting DE who has a good 40 and is rangy on the field.

I would love this if it was a 4 or 5 year deal with the same money. Problem is it’s 2 that’s the issue. 25 with potential sign me up but a 2 year deal for 2-3x what his market is....oof no thanks

He looked great and got benched by dumbass Rivera. He was a number 1 pick for a reason and we wasted his playing time.

DEs are rotational. 44% of the snaps over the past 2 years.

I like his upside.  Scratch DE off our list (4-3)--I bet he doubles his sack production here.

By the way--I agree with your post---but we do not know the circumstances in Minnesota either.  He has the tools---let's coach him up.

Most of this board consists of casuals

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
