Why don't they let the fans up top come down closer to the field?? It's the least they could do to thank them for actually coming to the game. 

They're too lazy. Someone would've had to decide on it, then ask their boss for approval. That boss would've had to ask their own boss. Once the approval came back, the original guy would've had to ask lawyers/HR type people to make sure nothing could go wrong. Once the ok came back, the original person would've had to tell one of their team to get the ball rolling. That person would've had to reach out to their own team of 5-10 people. Those 5-10 people would've had to reach out to the 50 ushers. Those ushers would've had to then speak to the fans. Once that happens (assuming ALL of this was planned before), the fans could then file to the correct seats. If it wasn't planned, those ushers would then point the fans to certain gates where some poor elderly seat sitter would try and sit all these new people.

By the time all of that was completed the game would be over. That's why it didn't happen.

I heard accounts of where they did

One year in Atlanta when we spanked the ever living fug out of the Falcons all their fans left and a ton of us congregated in a few lower level sections.  We just did it and no one stopped us. I would have just went down on my own Sunday if I had an upper

      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.
