"shock the world"

 

Looking at this roster, this coaching staff and the qb's on this team in the preseason and not seeing a complete trainwreck is on you.  Anyone with a brain could see this happening.   All the optimism in the world,  all the unicorns and rainbows, all the supposed fandom wasnt going to change reality.  This was (another) wasted year from the jump.

I wonder who in the building couldn't wait to leak this garbage mission statement to Jones. In the end, Rhule was not "OOU"

My guess is Steve Drummond is JJ’s source. I imagine they developed a good working relationship when JJ was with the Observer and Drummond was the Comms guy

Why the fug did this not come out sooner? Like the urban meyer crap last year. Also is Tepper really this absent or did he believe this is truly how you coach an NFL team? 


I’m surprised things didn’t leak sooner, but I understand it. Folks don’t want to lose their job and potentially be blackballed in the league. As bad as Rhule’s situation was it wasn’t nearly as toxic as Urbs.

But again, you could see how dysfunctional it was from the outside which is what makes it so much more insane that Tepper let it stretch on for as long as he did.  Even the "DBO" poo...  it was clear he was trying to implement that and emphasize it as part of our culture but then quickly saw, not even after camp, but during camp, how ill-received it was and abandoned it.  Then you see the details behind it, like this and it's just incredible it went on for as long as it did.  

Anyone of us could walk in that building and do the exact stuff he did, and in fact, I believe some here with their football knowledge, would actually produce more wins and a better culture...  point being, all that rah-rah poo means jackshit if there is no substance behind it.  It's like he went hunting and came back with the game's skeleton but never explained to anyone where the meat was.  poo just doesn't work and the more you implement poo and then abandon it, the more people will lsee you for the buffoon you are.

This stuff reads like any bad sales manager I’ve ever had. Most often the people in charge of leading other people have zero clue on how to actually do it and generate results. 
 

They often mask their insecurities by regurgitating the “tried and true” sales method philosophies that have failed miserably dating back long before them. 
 

You want a good head coach?  Get someone who relates to the players, someone who knows how they think and why they think that way. That someone is Demeco Ryans.

The only difference I'm seeing is the physical assault and publicly threatening jobs aspect...  but aside from those, Rhule actually seemed to be more toxic IMO, and the environment he created and fostered was able to fester for a lot longer.  We knew it was bad, but the fact this went on for two and a half years is insane.

      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.
