    It is also possible the owners won't let him fire Zimmer, but I don't think that is what is going on, just possible.

    Good luck. Look at Tua so far.......or even this year's rookies. There just aren't that many QBs out there. And picking the right one is not easy. It would be great if they found one, but they'll have to lose out (or nearly so) to even have a likely shot at one. Which they won't do as they have the Bears and Lions still on their schedule. 6-7 wins might be too many to have that shot this year. Might.

    "easiest path"....there are how many humans on the planet that are top tier QBs? Five at a time? Seven? out of billions of people, there may be 7 or so at a time. I'd argue the pursuit of the perfect QB is what holds franchises back so much. If you get one, great. If not, great minds should be able to come up with other paths. Of course, much like the Rays' success in baseball, that other path is almost impossible to find. If the perfect QB is the only answer, then the only answer is to tank for a couple years and trade players for future picks, to get a top 5 pick, then pick correctly (and yes, many great QBs fall further than that, but good luck getting those later picks right).

    Dang, good luck to Hunter. I hate injuries in sports.

    I don't LOVE Cousins....but he does what the boss wants. Just as the offensive coordinators do. I guess we could hold him to the standards of Rogers....but that is an insanely high standard. If that's your standard, you are likely to be disappointed. Cousins is a 2nd tier QB. That's good enough, with good coaching, to win playoff games. With great players and coaching, to win super bowls. This team has a few great players on O (and 1 or two on D)...but the coaching is severely lacking. Am I convinced this is a very good to great team with different coaching? No. Am I convinced it will never be with this coaching? Yes.

    I agree. I've said to blow it up for a couple years now.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He literally led the team on winning drives several times this year..... He's not close to the biggest issue. Not close.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Kirk and Thielen throwing shade on the coaching...... About time.
  10. Mike Sixel
    They are completely unwilling to attack on offense. And the defense comes up small over and over, year after year. This is all Zimmer.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Yes.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's Zimmer. This many OC..... It's Zimmer. Gift field goal from the refs.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Anyone that thinks this is a good team is deluded. Blow it up.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This activity always interested me. And this? This makes it moreso:
  15. Mike Sixel
    I get it. I'm just letting you know. Must not be as bad for others somehow.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I've almost given up using my phone and this site, at this point. I can usually read one thing, then it just freezes.
  17. Mike Sixel
    People here complain about the Twins all the time....without looking at what EVERYONE ELSE in MLB is doing....players, managers, et. al. Over and over.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Then look at only offense and defense and not WAR? Calling people idiots for trying to understand the relative value of a 1B vs a CF seems beyond rude. Beyond.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Who should he have replaced in the last three years? Not Donaldson. Not Polanco. Not C or 1B or CF or probably any OF position. Certainly not SS. Not Cruz at DH. That said, on another team w/o those players (or the guys coming up) he likely has a defensive position. He's not nearly so bad defensively as some think. But he didn't hit as well this year as the previous two....so some think he's a better hitter than he is. Like I said upthread....he's a 2-2.5 WAR player, which is a good player.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Another Rosario thread?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I hope not. Sano. Rooker. Donaldson. Arraez. Larnach. Garver. They have enough guys that can DH (and play other spots). A DH only type is worth it for a team that is on the cusp of being great....maybe. But not on this roster. No way.
  22. Mike Sixel
    100% true.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It was 20 in CF, and 16 at SS in MN.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I thought it was a bigger gap than that.......maybe they think he does have a shot. The need OF that can field and hit, but they keep drafting those that can only hit.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Preach it! Remember the Saturn line of cars? They asked car lovers what they loved? You know car lovers loved? Loud cars. You know what people that buy sedans love? Quiet cars. MLB needs to get new fans, and keep those they have. This isn't the way.
