There are folks in the coaching profession who have to do dirty work to climb the ranks and then there are those who don’t, IMO. He’s gotten glowing endorsements from current and future hall of famers. We’ll see what happens, Miami ain’t a great landing spot for anyone.

Kozora from Steelers depot wrote a pretty strong case to hire him this week. He’s held just about every job on a coaching staff imaginable.

On 1 hand, the job security is great. On the other, whoever inherits this has to figure out what to do with the existing locker room and navigate a very difficult draft position as a QB-needy team. It’s going to be a project.

I heard people saying late in the game last night“I hope Art is paying attention to this.”… doesn’t even matter IMO. I’m not sure Art understands what any of this even means. Not a football guy

They can absolutely beat Houston but it will require them to take some risks and hit big chunk plays and we know how the head coach feels about “putting the ball in harms way”

Brian Cox put on an absolute master class in his role on Succession. Nowadays you can find his voice in McDonald’s egg McMuffin ads saying “Buh Duh Buh Buh Buh”. Good times

I suppose it’s because the work is stupid easy and the money is hard to pass up. But it is hard to watch them sell out as fans of their real work.

The NFL has to do what they do in these situations. But I don’t think it’s bad when someone gets hit in the mouth for going out of their way to antagonize someone repeatedly. I think he is probably done harassing pro athletes now which is good for everyone.

It’s what they deserve but, if it doesn’t lead to anyone being held accountable then- aside from a slight improvement in draft position-what difference will it make?

You are choosing to ignore the economics of all of this and flattening it all down to “why team not sign better QB?”. I can’t help you understand why they had an obligation to try their 1st round pick, and why most of these QBs weren’t realistically going to sign up to keep the seat warm for JJ.

Did Daniel Jones win them 14 games or did $33m per year Sam Darnold win those games? Because as I’ve said, signing Darnold to the kind of deal he commanded would have been tacitly bailing on the kid you drafted before he even played one game for ya.

And he didn’t sign with MIN because it wouldn’t have been a competition. And frankly, it shouldn’t have been. You can’t promise the kid the job going into year 1 and then arbitrarily decide going into year 2 that he has to earn it this time after he did nothing to lose that designation.

They felt strongly enough to give him the starting job last pre-season, why would it be necessary to bring in competition the following year when there was no tape from JJ that would’ve caused him to lose the job? What MIN accomplished with Sam has nothing to do with their expectations for JJ.

I don’t think Daniel Jones could be convinced that he’d have been joining MIN to compete for the job. Compared to the situation in IND, the job MIN was hiring for was, at best, a seat warming position, but more accurately, a backup gig.

SF realized that a rookie earning the league minimum went to the NFCCG & outplayed the presumed franchise QB. A far cry from MIN bailing on the presumed franchise QB before ever playing him because a career backup went to (and lost) a wildcard game and was now commanding $33m AAV on the open market.

Richardson was given several chances to be the Colts QB. What you’re suggesting the Vikings should’ve done to JJ would be (I’m pretty sure) unprecedented. Both Jones & Darnold are 28. Signing either of them to long term deals would’ve ended the JJ McCarthy era before he even played a single down.

The other point I’ll make here is that you are assuming this was an attractive job for these other QBs. These guys wanted to play w/o looking over their shoulder & hearing calls for the kid every time they make a mistake. Again, this is the bed the Vikings made themselves the day they drafted him.

No matter how much you want the SF situation to be comparable, it’s not. Lance was given a chance. He failed & the next guy was cheaper, better, already under contract & had just taken them to the NFCCG. MIN should bail on McCarthy now but, he needed to see the field before doing that.

My favorite team wasted 2 years of my life on Kenny Pickett. But the only way to find out that you have the wrong guy is to play him lol. The day they drafted him, they committed to this. The pick was bad, the decision to play him was just business as usual.
