i used to give McCarthy the title/props till I saw what happened when Rogers wasn't there...

Nagy and Patricia have to prove it, with Nagy looking to be a good hire unfortunately. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I think this is the last year for McCarthy...a one and done for Marty Patty isn't likely, but definitely possible...Nagy definitely has at least another year with Trubisky...

I'm kinda hoping that isn't the case...I don't want a young, progressive offensive mind there while  Rogers can still be the best of the best.

McCarthy has stuck with the same game plan for years...build your offense around the quarterback.  The offensive line forte' is pass blocking with an occasional run thrown in.  Running backs and receivers all for catching passes.  Even the tight ends are more receivers than blockers.  Oh yeah, mediocre defense...they will just try to out score you in every game.  Today, better defensive backs and schemes.  Also,  linebackers have better coverage skills.  The days of McCarthy, even Aaron Rodgers will soon come to an end.

Any time a team losing it's starting QB, it's usually a death knell for the season...  except if you're Mike Zimmer.  It's pretty amazing what he's accomplished the past 4 years considering he's had to make due with a backup QB in 3 out of the last 4 seasons.
I think Zimmer has proven that he is the best Head Coach in our division and has done a very good job of surrounding himself with talented assistant coaches.  You'll get no argument from me on this...  I'm honestly shocked that some of our fans were griping about him earlier this year.

You are quite right in that assessment.  I can think of few other coaches that have succeeded with such instability at the most important position.  Won the North with Teddy and Case.  Now hopefully our offense is gelling around another new QB and we win it this year.
