We didn’t need him.
And Trey Lance was only recruited to play defense.We didn’t need him.
He got better when he left. That might be on him. That might be on the staff.
I just brought this up, but the man threw for 7 yards against SJSU. 7. And it was pretty clear to everyone in the stadium that wasn't hiding from lightning in the concourse that the staff was right not to trust him throwing the ball.
Vikes could REALLY use a backup.I'm as big a Streveler the Leveler fan as anyone, and a Cardinals season ticket holder to boot, but with Colt McCoy backing up Kyler Murray this year, and a few changes on offense, I don't see Streveler making the Cards opening day roster. He might, because he does play some special teams, but we'll see.
I dunno, Jerry's OLs weren't great at pass protection generally.Jerry was a QB away from being an top tier college football coach at the highest level. Crazy how karma can humble a man.
Kill could have had the clone of Johnny Unitas playing QB and it wouldn't have mattered because the QB would still would have been running the Pop Warner passing schemes he and Limegrover came up with.Jerry was a QB away from being an top tier college football coach at the highest level.

Wait, when Kill came in here with his no Ill team he smoked us with more plays than a pop Warner team. He had the plays but didn’t have the player.Kill could have had the clone of Johnny Unitas playing QB and it wouldn't have mattered because the QB would still would have been running the Pop Warner passing schemes he and Limegrover came up with.
I know. I've never been off the island!WOW! 5 of 6... in a NFL preseason game!
Hey, dipshit, here's a preseason stat line/blast from the past, just for you, that you may have overlooked:
Former University of Minnesota QB Mitch Leidner was working for Bite Squad — a local service that delivers restaurant food to homes and businesses in the Twin Cities — when the Vikings called him last week. He entered in the third quarter to a nice ovation and went 14 for 19 for 129 yards.
“It’s something you dream about as a kid growing up in Minnesota,” Leidner said. “Actually I don’t even know if you dream about this because it seems so far away. For it to actually happen, it’s pretty cool.”

Okay, that's settled. Now you can crawl back under your bridge, troll boy.
I was talking passing scheme. Northern Illinois threw for a grand total of 81 yards the night they beat the Gophers 34-23 in that fateful game.Wait, when Kill came in here with his no Ill team he smoked us with more plays than a pop Warner team. He had the plays but didn’t have the player.
Well, those stats are the game plan Jerry brought to us.I was talking passing scheme. Northern Illinois threw for a grand total of 81 yards the night they beat the Gophers 34-23 in that fateful game.
You wanna try on his Grey Cup ring?We didn’t need him.
*watching SF preseason game* . . . "oh man I need to head over to that Gopher forum to let those guys know that NDSU's former quarterback is good -- that will show them!"Dayum, back up the brinks truck for Trey Lance. Next big NFL QB in the making. Not many have an arm like that.
Which makes absolutely no sense why Streveler didn't get any run. He is the prototypical Kill QB in the vein of Lynch, Leidner, Green, etc.put the right athlete in the right system, and he can have a lot of success. put the right athlete in the wrong system, and everyone gets frustrated.
for better or worse, the Kill/Claeys era coaching staff had a system and they stuck to it, even if it wasn't always the most QB-friendly. they clearly had a vision of what they wanted from the QB, and they tried to shoehorn some players into that system, whether it fit them or not.
But, to some extent, the vast majority of coaches do something similar. They have a system, and that is what they are going to coach. And if the players they recruited turn out to be a less-than-perfect fit for the system, most coaches try to shove a round peg in a square hole, rather than adjusting or adapting their system to fit the talents of the athletes on their roster.
In my perfect world, the coach would evaluate the players on the roster, and come up with a system that maximizes the strengths of those players and minimizes the weaknesses. But I guess I'm just a dreamer that way.
