Re: Cleveland Browns

Not capable of? Why is Zimmer not capable of that? For all the reasons I've been expressing for several years now and all the reasons it hasn't happened over the past 7 years. I don't think he and Spielman, together, build teams strong enough to do it. As I've said before, nothing in their history,...

Re: Cleveland Browns

I suppose Pete Carroll could be included on that list too since he's a former Vikes assistant who's won the SB as a head coach. Am I forgetting anybody? I would say the two big ones are Mike Tomlin and Brian Billick. I'd include Tony Dungy too and make it a "big 3" since all 3 were Viking...

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

I have to disagree with that last piece. How consistent have "perennial SB contenders" been across the league? I'm having a hard time believing that what fans are striving for (the perennial SB contenders for a while part) just isnt all that realistic. Dynasty's and consistency in this le...

Re: Cleveland Browns

Vikings should have fired Zimmer and hired Stefanski :wallbang: Has Stefanski won a Superbowl? Did I miss that? I thought the criticism of Zimmer here was that his teams make the playoffs every other year and haven't won a Superbowl yet To be more precise: I think the criticism is they don't appear...

I didn't know Farwell was with the Bills.

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

Regarding Waynes: I think the fact that he didn't get a second contract with the Vikings is clear evidence they found his performance disappointing. When a team invests the 11th pick and years of development into a young cornerback, they're looking for a cornerstone player who is worthy of retaining...

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

Hard to do so when we have more 1st rounders than anyone. However, I don't think most teams have missed on 4 out of 7 1st rounders... AND gave one away for Sam Bradford.... And just gave a 2nd away for a 6 game rental. You ever seen those optical illusions where they show you two lines and ask you ...

Re: Kubiak leaning towards retirement

The game today is as much about motivating players and getting them to play for each other as it is Xs and Os. True and having a vision for each player goes beyond motivation to strategy as well. It's one thing to assemble and motivate talent, it's another to do so with strategy in mind, to make th...

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

In fairness, Cameron Dantzler was PFF's highest-rated CB for the month of December in the entire NFL, not just among rookies. I know it's PFF, which I try hard not to cite as evidence of anything. But it's an indication that our corners did show promise of being good starters down the road. I agree...

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

The greatest rookie WR ever? Are you serious? Also, you neglect to mention the fortune of draft picks he squandered in the last 7 years. He has 4-5 busts in the first round in the last 7 years. Let’s not even talk about the decision to draft 15 players in a COVID year. Check our roster how many of ...

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

It's probably splitting hairs, but I go with the former. From what we've read about Zimmer's demeanor and personality around the Vikings facility on a daily basis, I have a hard time envisioning him being kum-ba-ya with anybody. Then again, I'm just a crusty old fool whose perpetual optimism is beg...

Re: Heading into the 2021 Offseason- FO/Coaching

Adam Zimmer I don't care. Honestly, I don't get how a guy who plays football at Trinity University can immediately get a coaching job in the NFL with the Saints UNLESS he's got a dad who's buddies with Sean Payton. Most kids in his position MIGHT get a grad assistant job at some little school. Frea...

Re: Vikings have #14 pick

One thing we all need to remember is that the 2021 draft is going to be one of the most challenging in history. There will be a decided lack of tape on college players. Many played only a handful of games. Others opted out altogether. Scouts couldn't travel to see players live. There's no guarantee...
