That isn't an excuse for poor drafting, but I just wanted to be clear that I'm not sure the strategy rests at his feet. Another way to say that, I'm not sure what we'd see Kwesi do if the ownership mandate wasn't a competitive rebuild. He might have blown things up from the get-go. I don't know because I'm pretty confident he didn't call the shot on team strategy. He called the shot on player acquisitions within that strategy and so far it's been bad (drafting) and solid (free agency).

I don't think Kwesi had a choice on "competitive rebuild".

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm one of those rare folks that thinks The Office sucks in part because Michael is such a wildly unlikable character. (Who we are supposed to like I guess?) So if that's the case I'll go in with an open mind and see how I feel, :)

I need to get on this show for Gary Oldman if nothing else.

Twins Add Grady Sizemore to Coaching Staff
TheLeviathan replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
This just makes me want to fire up MVP 2005 again..... But if those job titles are his - baserunning and OF defense - that is a critical need for this roster. Hope he helps.- 23 replies

Very few QBs can thrive in a gameplan with 47 throws and 13 runs. I'm fine pushing him to make bigtime throws, but it should be within the context of a not-insane ratio. But I'm with you on development > wins
-
No. I wouldn't. I think they pulled a Cousins. I'm all done with that strategy. I'd rather fail cheaply with McCarthy and try again in a few years if it comes to that.
-
Have you seen how he single-handedly lost the Cleveland and Carolina games with passes that can only be described as "mind numbingly stupid"?
-
Here's a guy I'm very early on wanting. Culture changer.
-
At least we can say with some conclusivity that Jordan Love ****ing blows and the Packers gave him the bag.

I think it comes down to KOC and the on-field culture of the team. KOC has said (in preseasons) that he wants the team to be tougher/edgier. He stated the changes to the interior of the offensive line was a commitment to that. What does he do up 10-9 with a 3rd and 1 at the 50? You guessed it - YOLO. A nearly 4:1 pass to run ratio. Why did we sign Fries and Kelly, trade for Mason, and draft Jackson if we are allergic to running? I heard Mackey say it and I'm 100% with him - this team is SAWFT. The worst kind of offensive culture you can possibly have. It's why I was such a big advocate of Skattebo. This team needs to add someone on the playmaking side (preferrably in the backfield) that just wants to purposely run through walls to pick up 2 yards. Someone who can force KOC to change his own mentality. I'm starting to think Mason's deficiencies in the passing game (and fumbling) have caused KOC to lose confidence in him and, by extension, the run game. A team that isn't soft wins that game Sunday.

Go check out Vince Gillian's new show Plurb1s! The man is the best TV-show creator we've got and this one delivers.

I hope we end up hearing he was sick. My issues with McCarthy fall into two camps: he doesn't seem at all content with making the routine play and he's got all gas no brakes on his arm. One pick came when he lollipopped a throw deep (the only time the setting on his arm appears to adjust from "RAWR ROCKET LAUNCHER") when he had a clear path to a ten yard run and a first down. He rarely checked down on 2nd down and created easier third downs. What's wrong with a ten play drive? (Here is where I think we may point the finger at the actual villain - KOC) But the second thing....good lord, how does a guy 6'3 get so many balls deflected at the LOS? Why are 15 yard throws attempted like he's trying to throw through a wall to get it there? The talk about him lacking touch and layers on his throws appears to be more than just a problem, it's a major issue. I'm not convinced if we call slant plays that he won't try to behead receivers with throws. This team was winning at the half. They were winnig pretty much the entire first half. The team should've been making good, solid plays and trying to extend their lead and instead it felt like we were trying to win a game we were down by 4 with 30 seconds left for 3/4 of a game.
-
No, he wasn't yelling....but teh body language was bad. The post-play reactions were pretty irritated from what I saw. I didn't see "give up"...but it sure looked like less than 100%.
-
I think some of it was McCarthy. The timing and delivery of the ball to him was offtrack so many times. It's hard to get a rhythm when your QB feels like he has his arm set to "scattergun".
-
Agreed. Honestly, it felt like that was the first "diva" game from JJ.
-
McCarthy was bad today. Just plain bad. And it looks like JJ is super frustrated by it.
-
Our ST coach needs to get canned.
-
Team had multiple chances to seize the game and failed. Feels like a doomed script.
-
How can you flag him for that? Total BS.
-
Great start. We tried....let me see if I got this right: "hand....off" inside the ten? That's legal?
-
LaTroy seems like a genuinely great dude. I hope he has a lot of success with this overwhelming project on his hnds.
-
I sometimes think Falvey is his own worst enemy. He might have good people instincts. He'd make a good assistant GM....but in the big chair? Setting out team guidelines for style of play, analytics, etc? I think that's the issue.

Did McCarthy Just Save The Season?
TheLeviathan replied to DocBauer's topic in Minnesota Vikings Talk
I think the better answer is that B-Flo and the defense saved the season by looking like we expected them to.
