And I'll add to that on top of not using him early they weren't even making the Browns accountable for him no motions/ movement in the backfield or lined up in the slot.

Yeah that was weird, looked like preseason vanilla calls when you have the #2 fantasy RB just standing there

On many plays CMC seemed like the only person who could hold a block... that's not a good use of his talents.

You don't win Super Bowls by leaving a lot of gas in the tank of your best players. We aren't trying to improve their resale value.

Use the man. Hell, our kicker was injured warming up on the sidelines...

If you use him effectively early and establish him as a threat, his value as a decoy also increases.  Running him up the gut isn't a great way to establish him as as a threat.  I don't know why it's so hard to understand or figure out.  Get him the ball in space and let him do his thing.

Why did we not run the ball at all in the first half McCaffrey or other.  If Forman can't run the damn ball let's get someone who can. Every other team seems to be able to get 2 capable running backs.  It was weird play calling that put our o-line on their heels the entire first half.  And if the ball is getting batted every play how about we move the pocket.  Baker is pretty good at throwing on the roll out.

Baker couldn't get through his reads far enough to make it to CMC. Also their d-line was better than our o-line, so running was going to be mostly ineffective. Add to that drive killing batted passes and you've got trouble. 

Sadly we still need further upgrades to our o-line to stop this from happening.

My first move would be... to not start a back up at center.  Wtf is happening?

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
