There are rumors about paternity leave and inaccessibility as well, but the thing that is most embarrassing to the Vikings organization right now is about the fact that our 14-win, Pro Bowl QB from 2024 is playing in the Super Bowl for another team.
I also tend to believe the rumor that KOC said McCarthy wasn't ready, and Kwesi was so consumed with the idea of having a QB on a rookie deal (as were many fans), that he didn't listen. I may be way off on that—Kwesi does not seem like the dictator type—but it's plausible from a roster-construction perspective.
Makes sense. Then they doubled down on that path and spent big $$ on a FA class that underperformed.
Darnold walking then Dimes not being retained...That was just poorly managed, poorly coordinated internally across silos. It was the death knell for 2025 when combined with JJM needing time then getting hurt (twice.)
Thats about as s hit as it can get. As a fan, I supported it at the time - but I assumed JJM was ready to start (albeit green).
Hell, if BFlo didnt have the D playing at such a high level? We'd have a top 10 pick in a few weeks lol!
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
