KAM back to 49'ers....

Me neither. He'll be doing something, but if we're all being honest, GM was WAY outside his wheelhouse. And unfortunately Minnesota paid for it in the short term...yet also overcame some of it.

What saved KAM was a stellar 24 FA class.

Good coaching (for the most part)

AND a good, inherited core that hasn't aged out...

Again, people like to point to the Vikings record as a justification as to why Mensah was "good" when the reality was he was just extremely fortunate to inherit a playoff ready roster and didn't inherit the typical dumpster fire roster that most new GM's inherit. The fact was, he was never good, and completely undeserving of the position the Wilfs gifted him. It was really plain as day, yet somehow I was one of the few to say it was a bad hire from day one. If I could see it...how did the Wilfs not see it? Just goes to show that you may be smart in other areas of the world, but that doesn't correlate to knowing shit about football and building a championship level team. This is the pattern we are stuck in as fans under this ownership

20 years into it is clear the wilfs are slow learners.

Good on Kwazy, he has contractual offset language that will save the team some dinero…
