Me neither. That was ridiculous. @Mark Vader and I were watching at the local bar and I blame that performance for my poor attendance from there on out lol.

It's absolutely wild that this hasn't made it past a single page.

Your prior post suggested two distinct benefits: getting rid of diggs, and adding Jefferson. One of those is a win and one isn't. And yes, on aggregate, we all know the vikings replaced one of the best receivers in the game with the best receiver in the game and are reasonably happy with the net gain.

Obviously. But they haven't won a thing and "getting rid of diggs" isn't a net positive despite this thread and drama. Sheesh.

It's only a soap opera for weirdos like us. This is a headline-only story for a couple days in June to most football fans.

No argument from me on that.

I believe he sees it as poor situational usage. I couldn't tell you if Stef was targeted less in critical moments and games, and I don't have an argument that he wasn't. But for the offense as a whole, despite the stats, looked a bit out of sorts for much of the year. Or at least had long spells where things looked more difficult for them than I would have expected. It's certainly possible that my nebulous "eye test" is incorrect fan nonsense, but they sure didn't look as efficient as we've seen them to me. Certainly Josh not taking the short and intermediate options as the year progressed made it seem like a boom/bust operation.

This could absolutely be rose colored glasses - but I bet he's thinking about how he feels he could be better leveraged to win, as opposed to just stat hunting. (The two are related, I realize)

Yes. I thought that was relatively self explanatory.

Like many aspects of the Dorsey offense, the aggregate statistics appear to gloss over the situational shortcomings of the play calling/ execution.

If he's putting pressure on Dorsey and how the offense is conducted, he's in line with a lot of the fans. As a professional today is a weird look, but I've got no qualms with more scrutiny on offensive play calling. (If this is related to that, which I believe it is)

You don't say?

Our potential success is hugely dependent on Josh taking the short and intermediate throws. We've seen him do it ad nauseam to become one of the best in the game. Let's hope the abandonment of it last year was an aberration...I think it was.

I would be happy with outside depth as well - I'm not sure they have to be a clear cut starter in front of Gabe. I have no expectations of a WR like that joining the team.

The next addition (if in order of roster priority) really ought to be a veteran outside receiver (perhaps after cuts).

Cook needs to show out in pass pro for this to happen. I'm really curious to see his development here. Essential.

Philosophical. But I don't agree with it.

It was worse than that. He just placed it in the defender's arms lol.

I hired an arborist named Josh Allen last year. Couldn't have hired any one else tbh.

I think it's on the banned list, no?

Don't bring Taron into this!

Wow. Do we have full details of contract yet? He's better than his reputation on this board, but...can only hope that he'll be better in a McD defense.

I watched the season again and, man, he was even worse than I remember. I stand by awful when situation/context is taken into consideration.

Man he was just awful last year. Truly bad situational performance.

She was great in True Grit!
