Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports C Ryan Kalil said he believes OT Jordan Gross should go to the Pro Bowl this season. "It starts with Jordan Gross," Kalil said. "He's been living up to his franchise tag. He's been doing a great job so far. He really needs to go to a Pro Bowl. If he doesn't go to the Pro Bowl this year, the system is flawed because he is a monster out there."

Every unit seems extremely tight knit this year. I saw an article at work written a day before thanksgiving, with different players and what they were Thankful for. Jarrett said he was thankful to be a Carolina Panthers and talked about how thankful he was for ALL his team mates. Maybe he actually does understand Smith being so hard on him was only because the potential he see is him

A great line isn't always full of "stars", they usually are more than the sum of their parts. The best OLs are the ones that stay healthy and intact player wise for awhile (ie Colts until this year, NYG, etc). The key thing this year is that the backups have been filling in very nicely.

Gross is having his best year as a pro. And surprise surprise, it's at the LT position, which many, including myself, thought he could never be the LT that we need. Seems to me he is doing better than anybody else we've had at the position. Not only that, but he's a leader, and remains healthy.

Pay the man.

      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.
