I think it's important in these times to maintain perspective and not try to compare suckage too much. Just because we sucked less doesn't mean we were better off.

Darnold was not the answer. Sooner or later the Vikings will learn this too. Is he currently better than Bryce Young? Well yeah who isn't at this point?

As far as Wilks goes he's a good man with ties to our community whom I respect. But he's been fired how many times now? And this is the same man whose team was curb stomped by the Bengals with Baker Mayfield whom now looks like a franchise QB down in Tampa. Other than the Detroit game that was all running game what did we accomplish under him?

In order to turn this franchise around we have to use different pieces from the past as lessons in order to learn and adapt going forward. There isn't any one piece that is going to solve our dilemma.

People were killing me for suggesting we keep Darnold/Wilks.

 

The entire NFL was wondering why Tepper didn't give the HC job to Wilks. Even the team wanted him back. This clown Tepper said no thanks.

Y'all flamed me for suggesting we need stars. So when we trade all of our stars you wonder why this team is borderline unwatchable. We don't have any elite players folks!

 

Shame on you all for not listening to little ole CamWhoaaCam

It really doesn't matter, we haven't been able to develop talent for years.  We get the bare minimum out of players.  When that bare minimum is enough to create market value they move out for another team at which point they generally perform even better under real coaching.  

There's no culture or tenured leadership in the building and it affects everything.  No one looks around the room and feels certain they'll even be together next year or that the message they're being sold will even last half a season.

The real thing we should be hoping for is for better leadership.  Until we get that the players might as well be nameless faces shoveling sand in a turnstile factory.

I think it starts at firing Rhule after year 2. There is no Wilks and they throw major money at McD but end up Pederson. For GM Berry or Poles (who took this team to the woodshed) I guess. 

You can go back to the Rhule hire and just say fire Hurney with Rivera and see what Tepper does without that in his ear too. 

Any way you look at it Wilks isn't high on any list in this game of 'what if'.

Wilks best the golden boy Dan Campbell with the playoffs on the line for the Lions. Did so with a lesser talented roster.

Then got beat by the GOAT Brady.

 

Yeah you just a Wilks hater. Everybody knew we should have hired the HC who was actually trending on the right path despite having the worst owner in the NFL.

 

It's no surprise we haven't seen any success. This clown Tepper doesn't know football. He hires yes men. Wilks was not a yes man so he had no shot to be hired.

 

On to the next!

Wilks got the team playing at a respectable level instantly, given the talent on the roster.  I don't think he's the right coach to take the team to the playoffs and beyond.  But he was good enough to get the team out of the gutter, and provided a damning contrast to Rhule and Reich.

I was a Steve Wilks guy too. But I had to admit that he did blow the TB game. Anybody looking for a reason to say no, had it.  
The other thing I felt was valid is who were his coordinators going to be. 
I don’t care for the HC calling the plays. I think it is a little too much for most of them. 
 

I love the guy though and wish he’d have got another HC shot.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
