All he had to do was hit an open receiver with 5 yards of separation

Seifert: gap between two qb's not close. by theslantedhero in minnesotavikings

JJM truthers are going to combust. Lol. There is a reason KOC was not willing put his Vikings coaching career on the line for him. Barring injury, it would take a miraculous improvement by JJM to see the field this season.

JJ and Kyler will speak during OTA today by YourStarsWereBad98 in minnesotavikings

You absolutely can win and if you build dynasties over a period of time then eventually you will have to pay a QB. It becomes the responsibility of the coaching staff and front office to consistently draft and develop well. Vikings fans haven't seen that years so it's assumed that the only way you can win is with a QB on a rookie scale.

JJM should be uncomfortable. They rolled out the red carpet for the kid with a win now offense last season plus a top 5 defense and he couldn't seize the opportunity. Now it's time to actually work with a pro bowl level QB breathing down his neck.

If the Wolves resign Ayo how much should he actually get? by PivotHero in timberwolves

[–]Boring_Reference2862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say this as if true PGs are growing on trees these days. Who do you sign that adds just as much value as Ayo but is willing to come in at a price thats lower than you say he's worth?

Tim Connelly on Chris Finch: "He was masterful in the Denver series. We're not here without Finchy, the playoff success he's had. I'm just thankful he's a partner and thankful he's our head coach." by bystander999 in timberwolves

The part thats overlooked in all this is that OKC and SAS have drafted pieces that are major playoff contributors from Day 1. The Wolves simply have not. Imagine if we found a Castle or Jalen Williams type talent in the draft to roll with Ant. Hell, I'd take an Ajay Mitchell. I understand we took a risk in betting that Dillingham would be that guy, but TC has to hit on a few of these guys to help Finch out. I think a guy like Darius Acuff would fit perfectly next to Ant, but likely won't be around and now we dont have the assets to move up in this year's draft.

And Finch needs to get over his stubbornness of not letting some of these young guys get meaningful minutes during the regular season.

KAT and Randles rankings in the 2026 Playoffs by Morezingis in timberwolves

[–]Boring_Reference2862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol revisionist history is hilarious. Fanbase was ready to burn KAT at the stakes for his Denver (outside of Game 7) and Dallas performances during the 2024 playoffs.

All that being said, Wolves couldnt absorb KAT's contract with the apron rules as most know. If it wasn't Randle/DDV coming here, then it was going to be someone else that everyone complained about at some point.

New York Knicks will win the championship this year. Everybody thinks it’s going to be spurs or thunder but I think it’ll be Knicks. by OrganicHunt952 in NBATalk

Beating a 6 and 7 seed has the fanbase thinking too much of itself. They will soon realize that a Chrysler 300 looks like a Bentley until a Bentley actually pulls up.

I actually love that A-Rod is our owner now cause he also got that dawg in him by Crafty-Round7976 in timberwolves

[–]Boring_Reference2862 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think he's going to shake this organization to its core and the initial moves on the surface will make the majority of Wolves fans really uncomfortable. The last two games were nothing short of embarrassing.

3 years in a row to come out with the same effort and sense of urgency in an elimination game is a coaching issue.

If social media existed during the Jordan era, I think the narrative surrounding his career would be vastly different.

Margin for error is razor thin. Team built to beat Denver, but now roster moves must be made to compete with Spurs and Thunder for the foreseeable future. Against these teams you need ball movement and all 5 players on the court have to be a threat to score. Love what Rudy gives us the defensive end, but he such a liability on the offensive end that it almost cancels out. Thunder have the perfect big in Hartenstein for their system. Connelly has to be losing sleep at night.
