Carrington is such a loser

It’s really no different than any other large business

Last year the Vikings problems were due to the interior OL and QB issues down the stretch, so we were told. Now Bradbury is the starting C for a Super Bowl team and Darnold is the starting QB for a Super Bowl team. Amazing what happens when your HC/OC doesn't refuse to run the ball and doesn't...

Despite different players, it's the same thing we've seen under Finch for 5 years. It starts with leadership when teams that lack motivation and discipline. His rotations are also poor and Conley should not be playing anymore. He is done.

You're also missing Van Ginkel, Cashman, and O'Neill who are all over 30 or will be when the season starts next year. Now compare that to the rest of the NFC North/NFL and it's an old roster. That leaves us with a hole at RB, a massive hole at S, holes on the DL, and OL, and a giant ? at QB...

They are just kicking the can down the road though. Plus the Vikings are old. This just puts them right back where they were when KAM came in, except with an older roster. The Vikings are still worse off than every other NFC North team right now.

Because of that he has the highest strikeout rate of the 3 as a starter. Bradley has been a starter for 3 years now with limited success and a SO rate that continues to drop. Festa is more middle of the road, similar to what Varland and Jax were as starters, which would likely get better if...

I like giving Zebby another chance as a starter more than I like Bradley or Festa as starters.

I'm sure they'll give him another shot to start, I'll just be surprised if he sticks. As far as what they gave up to get him? They gave up Jax, a 31 year old former starter turned setup man/closer. That has nothing to do with where he'll pitch long term.

The Raiders were horrible on offense this year. You know who the worst two offenses were last year? Chicago and NE. The Raiders also had a solid, middle of the pack defense this year. Chicago and NE were both bottom 10 and much worse on D last year than the Raiders were this year. NE also...

They're absolutely not. You just take a shot at PJ whenever you can. When you read about how Cignetti runs his culture, attention to detail, his recruiting, etc it's all very similar to what people say about how PJ runs his program.

Cignetti and PJ have a lot of similarities. Cignetti is just 20 years more experienced. At 45 years old Cignetti was still a position coach at NC state and hadn't even worked for Saban yet. PJ is going to have another big year soon. I think think there's a good chance it could be this year.

I'm not 100% sold on Mendoza either, but there's a lot to like about him. There are plenty of reasons to like him better than Bryce Young at #1, so I don't think those are very comparable. Mendoza has everything Young had, plus he has size and mobility. Mendoza reminds me a bit of Carson Wentz...

Not if you can get a franchise QB.
