Any QB can throw short passes. An offense like KOC's can't be productive on only short passes. Obviously I was talking about medium to long passes. Thanks for proving I was correct that for those passes Murray has big issues. Also corroborated by the Tweet posted by Ogie in the other QB thread.

This take appears to be another in a long line of your bad, zero chance of ever happening, takes. For some reason, that seems to be your thing.

Those don't prove that he is inaccurate in medium and long range passes, they prove that the offense run emphasized short routes and short passes. The relevant statistics, if they are easy to grab, are the usual (completion percentage, td, int, rating) on all passes over XX air yards.

I can only go by the words you chose to use here, which by their definitions means you agreed with my statement that on field performance can be decoupled from management decisions, as I proved with the examples.

Vegas and Hawaii should be easy road trips to sell, at least until the novelty wears off.

That's fine but I'm talking about when Liberty forced its way into FBS as an independent starting in the 2018 season. No one can convince me that NDSU could not have done the same, say starting in the 2019 season. They chose not to and wanted to wait specifically for a conference invite.

I suppose the triple option aspect could drive some curiosity. There will also be a general novelty and curiosity to see just how well the Bison will do against these new division teams. But I don't think they're going to have that much trouble competing.

Failure on the field can be absolutely decoupled from ownership decisions. And in the case of the Vikings, can absolutely be true. Ownership had literally zero to do with the fact that the Vikings should have won the SB for the 1998 and 2009 seasons. Burnsie said it best: "we get up there ...

Maybe? If you have an actual source of such information I would like to see it. Regardless, all experts agree that Rodgers 2025 season far exceeded expectations given how he did in 2024. The same holds true for Cousins, he just didn't get to start last year until the end, then played well...

We can agree to disagree. If Rourke had another year of eligibility and they kept him as the QB instead of going out to get the older Mendoza, they lose at least two regular season games last year and who knows about the playoffs. QB is by far the one position in football where you take a...

Personally, at the Pro level, I don't think QB's should get to count YAC as being apart of "their" yardage. Air yards only

Completions from a bunch of short passes and "yards" from a bunch of YAC don't do much for me. Medium range and longer and difficult throws are where NFL games are won and lost, for the most part. At least in KOC's offense, for however long he continues to be our offensive mastermind, that will...

He was worth $11M/year. He didn't have a competing offer for more. Therefore, he wasn't worth more. Prove otherwise

Agreed that it's nothing to sneeze at. I wasn't sneezing.

Two in 26 years (does the 2000 season count as this? can't remember how that works) seems pretty sparse ...

Nor did I. But they didn't turn him into a Heisman. Mendoza would've won the Heisman at Miami and several other schools.

Good owners stay out of the way -- that's any business. Trying to micromanage and hover over shoulders, is how you get the New York Jets.

Skor North is like ... the fifth? more important/interesting Vikings commentary in the market. If Seifert, Alec Lewis, Goessling, aren't reporting it ... then to me it's not really worth reading.

Wish there was something easy to grab that was some kind of measure taking into account an actual per game grading of play (like a PFF in football) in combination with total minutes being able to be spread around to depth behind the starters. So x-axis would more truly measure how much talent...

Haven't been to Seattle for over 10 years, but last we went we stayed in a neighborhood called Ballard which was nice and felt somewhat like NE Mpls. Would not be surprised if things have changed a lot since then and very expensive.
