Why does it have to be one thing?
Its a team game and there are many issues imo preventing success. These arguments about which issue is the cause are short sighted as they are all correct, this isn't death by cannon, ball this is death by paper cuts.
Fixing one thing won't necessarily correct the situation enough to put the teamn over the top.
You tell me.
What's the single most pointed to issue, make that perceived issue, on the team.
What's the single most proposed solution?
The board is not unique in this fallacy. But, it's pretty much unfounded.
I guess I remember Norm Snead, Todd Boumen, Gus Ferrotte, Spergeon Wynn, Shawn Salisberry, Brooks Bollinger and all the other POS QBs we endured.

And that has been my fear as predicted in the beginning of this shittshow season.
The Wilf's need to decide on GM/Rick first and it would seem they have not. Great.
Or...
Maybe it does mean they are cleaning house from Spelly down and are vetting a new GM who will have a HC in mind???
My OP thread is in regard to the rule changes to start interviews earlier than in years past, for HC and other coaching positions, but what about the GM position?
It is going to be way more enticing for a GM to be able to hire who he wants and make all the decisions as opposed to being handed an owner picked HC - Like Spelly had when he started as GM.

Are you talking about Frazier? Cuz Zimmer was Spielman's choice.

This to me means the owners have not been paying attention on how other teams are doing and who would be a good coach the should invite for a visit. Scary.

I might add Gary Cuozzo, Ron Vander Kelen, Bob Lee, Christian Ponder and George Shaw for a day.
Caldwell interviewing in Jax.
Rumor that Jim Harbaugh wants back in.
Guy beats OSU once and starts having delusions of grandeur.

Remember my post listing all of the Lions QBs from 20 years ago? That was an ugly, ugly streak of incompetence that lasted 40 years, including such superstars as Danielson, Kramer, Harrington, Batch, Hipple, Danielson, Peete, Kramer, Ware, Chuck Long, etc. And this was a team frequently picking in the top 10.
Well, here we are 20 years later and the Lions were finally able to find that QB in Matthew Stafford. And what do they do? They trade him!! It's so fucking stupid it defies description. Not every QB is going to be Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes, but once you have one you can win with, you're done. Build the team around him. He's not your problem.
But for the Vikings, it's even stupider. There are 3 QBs in NFL history who have thrown for over 30,000 yards and 200 TDs in their first 115 games. Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and Kirk Cousins. QBs with at least 20 games with 300 passing yards, 3 TDs and a passer rating over 110? One: Kirk Cousins (after this season, Rodgers may have joined him).
Oh but some want to dump that guy and fire the guy who drafted JJ, Dalvin, Hunter, Harry, Barr, Kendricks, O'Neill, Darrisaw, Griffen, ISJ...and jump on the Lions plan. Speaking of which, the amount of GMs in Detroit since 2000? Six. Cleveland, ten. Raiders, five. Jets, six. Oh, but unlike those teams, the Vikings are just going to pull their Super Bowl winning GM out of a hat and, defying all the draft odds (Jones, Haskins, Mayfield, Rosen, Darnold, Trubisky, Goff, Wentz, Lynch, Winston, Mariota, Manziel, Manuel, RGIII, Weeden, Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, Locker, Tebow, Sanchez, Freeman, Russel, Quinn, Young, Leinart--all 1st rounders) draft their Super Bowl winning QB right along with him.
Focus on the PROBLEM and don't fix things that aren't broken. Fire the goddamn guy who found a half dozen ways to lose a game and this is probably a playoff team next year. Overreact and we could be staring at several years before we're competitive again.
