Everson gone

[Guest]

I have bro. But don't always think it's the player that slams that door, just saying.

I know, I get it. Life's to short though. Believe me I was a huge Brob fan. He and you should be very proud.

Thanks for the loyalty, headcase

Really?

We are and thank you for that. Honestly,, I was just telling you what actually happens. As I said a long time ago, the team will only let you see one side of any story. I'm not mad, upset or bitter at the organization at all. My son loved it there, still loves Minnesota. He spends as much time there as he can. He loved, and still does, all the fans, even the ones that didn't like him because they pushed him to strive for more. 
I feel the same.
I just have a problem with 1 person, while I understand it's a business, you don't have to be a snake in doing your job. But just so you know I've never liked the way RS conducted his business. That's the way I always fealt about him.
Again, thanks for what you said. It's just my opinion.

we’re clearly blowing up the D. Why hang onto aging vets?  Yall want Zim gone right?  If he can do it with losing all these players itll be time to shut up. 

I only wish we hadnt signed Barr last year. Going into this year, Cousins is going to have to win games not just not lose them.

All I can say is, Grif as w/ Brob before him, were great players whom I enjoyed watching & cheering for! They will be missed but certainly not forgotten...

[Guest]

Diggs and EG are 2 completely different situations... but some fans are acting like they're the same.

Love Zim. He's No BS!!!! What you see is what you get. He'll tell you just what's on his mind. Great coach!! Seems like a great guy, from the little I was around him. Brian loved him.

We also crossed this bridge months ago. This wasn't Mike Zimmer's fault until suddenly right now.

Meanwhile, Spielman doesn't have a clue as to what he is doing and he continually gets a free pass and it's bizarre. Who resigned Diggs? Who brought in DeFillippo and his passing attack? Who was keeping Kevin Stefanski on the staff before Zimmer was here? Who signed off on firing Flip and promoting Stefanski to bring back the Brad Childress offense? Why was that such a good idea off signing Kirk Cousins? How does a BPA running back and a constantly retained intern override 2 major contracts on offense? Why do we draft BPA and not resign those players?

Who put us in cap hell, to go "all-in" each year our offense had a (biploar) new identity to overcome? If Zimmer is in charge of all of these defensive acquisitions, why has his defense changed so much in so little time, why doesn't anyone seem to fit expect UDFA CBs who walk on and start, and why don't we even resign the players he's expected to groom into... fuck... players we can't afford (or refuse) to pay anyway?

Spielman retained Stefanski into Zimmer tenure. Digg was reported pretty pissed about becoming a run team; I get that's Zimmer forte, but it was Stefanski's offense. And it was Kubiak's offense. Why didn't Digg's attitude change when Kubiak was promoted?

It's probably easy to deduce that Kubiak wants to run the ball too and that his finger prints must have really been all over our offense last season. That's probably for another thread...

I find it funny that all these off-season moves seem to reflect poorly on Zimmer.  Who's the one negotiating with these guys agents?  Who cut B-Rob after he took a giant pay cut?  There is one guy in charge of constructing this roster...  his name rhymes with Dick Schmeilman.
