That 1st one was almost like a franchise turning game. After that game, they pretty much knew they could compete with anyone. We have dang near owned Seattle since. lol

Lol  Aye that is pure facts!! Lol The whole vibe of the team shifted!!

Lol. So true. How about instead of a rah rah QB, we get one who can sustain more drives and score more points such that he’s tired after each drive and needs to sit down on the bench to receive high fives? We’ve been rolling through QBs that can’t score so they’ve got plenty of time to cheerlead. I don’t want another cheerleader, just one who can win games.

Aye I'm all for an NFL Qb myself.... im just stating it'd be good to have one that the team believes in and can pick the team up when need be. Outside of Cam and Delhomme....every Qb we have had has been stoic and the squad feeds off that stale energy.  1st and foremost  it's obvious  that we need a Qb with skill... but we need a leader on this team bad.

The thing I want right now is leadership with intelligence.

If they're smart, I don't care if they're manic like Bill Cowher or stoic like Tom Landry.

Definitely  understand  that and that is vital to me too but this team just looks so flat out there on Sundays. We need some type of juice. In an ideal world, you can get both but as long as the team has faith, I'm good. Stoic isn't bad if you got a nice squad built around and good coaching  but we got so many question marks. When coaching looks like it isn't working, we need someone the guys can rally behind. Does that have to be a Quarterback... nope but it does help. Mahomes, Brady, Allen, Rodgers,  Matt Ryan, Herbert, Lamar, Burrow and more are guys you see on the sideline rallying the troops.

Energy comes with winning. That and that alone builds excitement and energy among the players.

That is true but leadership is a big void on this team.... Look at the Falcons. Even when they were losing,  they fought behind Matt Ryan bc of course they always thought they had a chance but Matt was a leader. He will do the same in Indy. I just hate seeing a Qb(like Darnold etc) just sit and look at a tablet when  things are feeling low.

I think Shaq is probably a little more vocal than we might know. He just might not be quite as animated as a guy like TD or Cam.

Without seeing a lot of behind the scenes footage, it is hard to know who the leaders are. Offensively, I am not even sure there is even one on the roster.

Here you have the #1 argument for locker room press access. That's the behind the scenes footage the fans need to see. The leaders and the thinkers and the jokers (we need them too!) will stand out and it will translate to the field and sideline because perception is half the battle. Example, when we see Shaq jumping up and down on the sideline we will know it isn't a one time thing.

We all agree (I hope) that we need a highly talented QB. That way the players listen when the QB speaks. When Sam speaks, no one listens. When Baker speaks, no one listens. When Mahomes speaks, the team listens.

Rah Rah QBs who aren't that good make me sick. When a QB is trash he needs to shut up. Players hate rah rah crap when the the QB isn't doing his part.

Stop with the intangibles crap. We need a highly talented QB. Moxie, verve, spirit, that is irrelevant. Put the ball where it needs to be, or get off the team and take your moxie with you.

They sort of attempt to do that with the team stuff but I don't think we see much in regards to players really taking charge.

It could be that we just don't have any of those guys.

I think that's getting lost in the shuffle.... look at the lost of players I listed... I  dont won't no rah rah that doesn't deliver.... thats pretty obvious. Somehow people think rah rah means a guy that's dancing and hyping with no skill. Each Qb has their own way of speaking up and that's what we need.... Delhomme  was an overachiever... but his rah rah definitely  worked...

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
