This will be interesting to watch. Last year's guys were all relatively unsung players with high pff grades and a big degree of upside in a Flores defense. With the exception of Rodgers, this year's group were much higher profile players with injury discounts. So expectations are higher this year. But there's a boom or bust quality to many of them. I'm always reminded of that Eagles class of free agents about 20 years ago they were calling the "dream team." Remember that? It was a total bust.

Its all good on paper. Now they gotta win some football games. Fortunately or unfortunately a great deal of that falls on JJM's shoulders.

Yes, very different approaches and the mkt just dictated that to a large degree.
Allen, Fries and Kelly - please pan out. The rest is gravy

It does. That's the reality of any team with good potential in other areas, how's the QB going to play? All of KAM and KOC's short career dealings as members of the Vikings, adding and subtracting, working through the competitive rebuild to get to this very point: the window with a young QB on a rookie contract. Let's watch!
I think JJM will be fine, just dont know his ceiling with this surround yet...But its a surround that's comparable to just about any offense in the NFC that doesnt have Saquon in the backfield.

Considering the supporting cast and coaching... I think he could have a truly great season.
