I'm shocked that the Vikings actually fixed Darnold. It's gonna be interesting to see what they do moving forward having drafted McCarthy in the 1st this past draft.

He has probably the best set up of any QB in the league, but good for him, he seems like a really good guys.

This. Hated the trade for him and wanted no part of him here to be honest but always liked the person. Seems like a legitimately good guy and I'm happy to see him having success. It's been a long road for him. Says a lot about him for hanging in there.

It's a very good combination of factors.  O'Connell is proving to be one of the best coaches in the league, JJ and Addison the best duo, and Darnold is starting to avoid the dummy throws.  It's coming together there.

Having Jefferson, Addison, hockenson, Jones, and a much better oline will help just about any QB over Moore, a worse Hubbard, and a bunch of turds at oline and the rest of the receiver positions...

They were trash when they were with us. Getting cut by a struggling franchise were their wake-up call and they got their act together. We didn’t give up on anything. 

They were their worst versions of themselves because of us.  We keep creating new problems and laying the blame at the wrong places.   We had coaching issues.  Personal issues.  We blamed the QB.  Now we got a QB issue.  We blamed Frank.  Eventually we likely blame Canales.

We had a completely green Joe Brady under Matt Rhule for Darnold who managed to look good for a minute, starting off 3-0.  If we could've set that up with a better coaching situation, I think he'd still be our QB.

For Baker, we gave him a hot seated Matt Rhule testing out McAdoo as his first refuge outside of Cleveland.  Complete disaster of an environment.  

All stems back to the Matt Rhule hiring...

cousins saw a huge production step change when Jefferson came, even their bum backups last year put up numbers

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
