Sure, ultimately Kwesi is responsible for the QB quandry because he's the GM. But, one of the reason's KOC was hired was to identify this team's franchise QB. KOC gave the green light to draft JJM (I'm not saying that he won't someday be our franchise QB. He was an accurate passer at Michigan & I attribute his issues to a lack of experience & changes made to his throwing motion).
It was KOC, not Kwesi, who saw JJM every day during offseason workouts & training camp. He knew that JJM couldn't perform at the required level, yet he still trotted him out there,
my point is.... they as NFL owners were going to spend that money no matter what. its all cap and cash out of pocket, they were not going to get to own the Vikings and not spend that kind of money, hell this way they can write it off sooner, likely works out for them no matter when they wrote the check so I doubt the really care that much.

I've got their draft files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.

That would be Kwesi Sir.
Of course I'm talking about Kwesi, you TWERP!!! This year is going to be different. This year we are going to grab the bull by the balls and kick him out of office!

I've seen a rumor going around on-line that KOC wanted Aaron Rodgers and was shut down by the front office and ownership, who wanted things turned over to McCarthy. So, it's possible KOC knew what he had in McCarthy and that he wasn't anywhere close to being ready to play. Maybe KOC hasn't had as much say in the quarterback position as previously thought? I don't know what to believe anymore, all I know is the overall credibility of the "new regime" looks worse all the time
