OT - Vikings Offensive Line
- Thread starter InMotion
- Start date
Their OL coach was my assistant OL coach in elementary school. Dad was a helluva coach in Anchorage. Probably not a miracle worker, but he was decent in other stops I followed.
I think KOC and whatever DEI GM they have is more to blame

Five sacks on the "Queens". Their O-Line story is reminiscent to another O-line in Lincoln, Nebraska. Viks season is over. Period.
Kweisi fashions himself as some sort of analytical genius. He’s awful at evaluating talent and managing the draft. He sucks, plain and simple.
He’s tried to play “Money Ball” with his roster by drafting McCarthy and letting Darnold go. Meanwhile they have all kinds of cap space and neglected the O and D lines. Their GM is a DEI hire.
Yeah he's made some weird moves...i'd have traded Jefferson for line help, kept Darnold (not that i'm sold on him, I was just less sold on their decision to go the Mcarthy route) and used that slot they drafted McCarthy at for the best WR avail.
Worst thing they did was draft McCarthy though. Signing Jefferson I got...didnt like it but I got it...but they coulda shored up the line and had a decent vetern taking the snaps.
Vikings have basically been a revolving door at the QB position over the past 25 years outside of Culpepper and Cousins. Every time they have a big year, they think they are a new QB away from winning the Superbowl.
It is super hard to find a quarterback. Even guys that looked great coming out fall off quickly. I didn’t like Darnold, put him at 33 million was not bad. They were giving Kirko chains 30 million to lose playoff games every year. He made more in salary than Tom Brady.
He should’ve not pissed away Darnold, Jones, and the opportunity of Aaron Rodgers all for the most obvious first round QB bust since Josh Rosen
F Rodgers. Darnold and Jones had first round talent and multiple years of hard knock game experience. Yeah Rodgers was maybe the best bet but I don’t think Vikings fans would have been able to swallow that. Favre was different. He was actually a pretty likable guy.
The more an owner is involved with his team, the worse it gets. None of those billionaire dumbasses know a thing about football or the real world.
Kwesi Adopho-Mensah. He was vice president of football operations with the Browns. Need I say more. Masters degree in Econ. Leveraged last year’s season in to a lucrative contract extension. Now that they’re starting to have to almost completely rely on his draft and FAs, they’re tanking. KOC talked him in to signing Darnold on the cheap. Couldn’t get him to keep Darnold or Jones. McCarthy was his guy. Moved up to get a 2nd to 3rd rounder…..
I believe that was the Vikings head coach on the gophers sideline during the Nebraska game. Maybe I missed the owner being their too?
Not a good look to see the Vikings QB play knowing that they let Darnold and Jones walk. I some of these GMs are obsessed about winning with a QB on a rookie deal.
