You in or out on KOC/Vikings coming up big in 2026?

I am meh. I want to be in, but it just feels like the same ol' song and dance from the Vikings. Bring in someone to "win" and somewhere down the line when they have you at the highest level of excitement, they drop you on your head. I just don't see a clear cut future with the path we are on right now and my goal is Super Bowl or nothing. I am tired of all the in between. Is Kyler Murray a Super Bowl capable QB? I guess you could of knocked me over with a feather if you had told me Sam Darnold would win a Super Bowl 2 years ago. So anything is possible right? Right? RIGHT?

I want to be in on KOC, but the entire JJM process has soured me quite a bit since last year. I was 100% all KOC all the time this time last year. But his own words haunt me. Is the organization failing a young QB? Honestly, if the Vikings win a Super Bowl in the next 2 years, I don't give a flying rats ass about JJM, unless he wins it....

I'm out on O'Connell. Of course, I always hope for the best, but to me there were numerous problems that were revealed last season and the whole Kyler Murray signing reeks of desperation and hoping the little fella can run around and win O'Connell enough games to save his job because in no way, shape, or form is Murray a scheme fit in the O'Connell chuck and duck. I am also convinced the chuck and duck isn't condusive to winning in the postseason unless O'Connell makes substantial philosophical changes with the run game and how he approaches the run game as a play caller. Judging by his postseason presser, he has no intention of that happening. I think we are back in that 8 to 9 win range in a very tough division with the draft still pending.

On top of his "my system to the death" issues, he also seems to be grinding a personal ax on JJM.  Publicly whining 3 months after the fact about JJM missing one practice for the birth of his son made KOC look like the baby. 

I'm more optimistic about the draft than I am about KOC adjusting.  The Vikings have 3 Day 2 picks so they can let the board fall to them rather than reaching for a need because they don't have another pick for 80 slots. Can we get Flores a 3rd corner with talent instead of holding the secondary together with chewing gum?

As for injuries... Darrisaw's been hurt every year of his career.  I'm just counting until when, not if he goes down again. Would be nice of Van Demark to NOT do a Skule impression when he comes in.
