He got a personal foul call on a Quarter Back.  Its the Unicorn, its the elephant man's bones off the coast of Madagascar.

 

Seriously this.

 

Klein in his first start managed to get a sack which resulted in a personal foul on the QUARTERBACK. 

 

It's like the ultimate in drive killers. Unbelievable in his first start.

I saw the locker room piece and Klein was answering a question.  For a split second I thought they were talking to a high schooler.  He looks so young.

 

If we manage to keep them all we are going to be a dominate defensive team for a long time.

 

 

 

I hope Monday night is the passing of the torch......Pats lose and start their decline...we take over as the best team in the NFL over a 10 year period.

Rivera called him Kuchley 2.0 and was laughed at.

Maybe the former SB winning LB, outstanding DC and HC knows more about the players than we do.

Nah...that's crazy talk.

There's no way he's better than Kuechly right now and the fact that he had a great game doesn't change that. Kuechly's making plays everywhere and he's the one making pre-snap adjustments at MLB. He's as close to a Peyton Manning on the defense as it gets right now. And with that said, Klein played outstanding himself and they probably found a gem in the draft when they selected him. I look forward to seeing him make more plays and get more reps. But that was a mislabel Rivera gave him then and it still is. You do understand a 2.0 of something is a better, more robust and upgraded version of an original, right?

I think you're getting a little geeky about the 2.0. I don't believe it was Ron's intention to suggest AJ would be better than LK. I think he was just trying to suggest they are players of the same ilk.

Gettleman is great, no doubt, But I just wanted to speak up for Coach Rivera.

This is his defense.

Without DGs help he would still be using Fua as his NT. DGs scouting has made this team a contender this year with Rivera changing his philosophy.

I don't think Rivera's 2.0 comment was meant that way. Luke seems like he will be a once in a generation linebacker. Klein has high upside but not all-pro potential like Luke.

      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.
