The Minnesota Vikings’ competitiveness

Some of us always thought it was dumb to “make it happen” every season. The bill always come due, but others did think he was a genius. I think the issue for some is keeping it going for so long after the all in with Drew seasons. It really should have ended after the 2018 season, but it was pushed further into the abyss with the Covid cap.

At this point the saints are the people in the tax commercials that owe $$ needing to hire someone to negotiate a reduction in cap. Just pay the money and move on. They made the bed and the fans are stuck laying in it.

What “bill” has come due? All we have done is invest in the present with future dollars, and now, after investing wrong on a big ticket item along with drafting poorly, we are rolling it back. This isn’t much different than what teams with “healthy”’caps do when they invest poorly.

Bottom line is we have sucked at player evaluation at the college scouting level especially, and have had absurd bad luck with injuries with the guys that actually ARE good.

There is this wild misconception that our depth is a problem because of our cap, but our financial commitment at a depth level are on par with league average; we just have spent on the wrong people, had a couple of OL retire, drafted the wrong people, and have too much depth on the field all at once; no team survives that no matter what their financial ledger style is.
