Flip doesn't deserve sole credit for Wentz imo. That entire coaching staff was focused on developing him. His offense with the Browns went 4-10 and was significantly worse than his predecessor with virtually identical personnel.

Also it is 100% possible to be an excellent QB coach and a terrible OC, but most NFL front offices assume that the transition is easy (same for coordinator->coach) despite the fact that they are very different skill sets.

If you look at Cousins' numbers this season, they are pretty much in line with his career averages at WAS. The Vikings are getting what they paid for. So I would say the problem is elsewhere.

College football season is over so the NFL can have Saturday night games without risking their antitrust exemption.

i wonder if zimmer thought keenum was going to continue to put up career years and then they spent all this capital and brought in a new OC for marginal regression from that.

This. If the Eagles wanted to bring him back with some BS title this year to try and unfuck Wentz a bit I'd be fine with it.

The Vikings entire identity is based around playing smashmouth while Flip is trying to prove he's the next McVay. The team is on pace to put up a good 500 fewer running yards this season with it's starting running back.

The defense is gimped because this is not the same offense.

I mean the Vikings O-Line is one of the worst in the league and significantly worse than last years version

Teams that are leading in games run the ball more. They’re running the ball less because they’re worse on offense and defense, they aren’t worse because they’re running the ball less.

Yup. They have over 9 fewer attempts per game than last season. That OLine is garbo and Cook has been injured which probably both played a part plus what you said above.

JDF isn't the sole reason for the offensive regression but i'm not sad to see him go. it won't change the team's ceiling as one-and-done in the playoffs but hopefully Stefanaski shows himself to be a capable OC. he's coached everywhere on the Vikings offense through 4 different coaching regimes and Shumur wanted to bring him along as his OC.

This is the biggest part of their offensive regression IMO. A good o-line coach is worth their weight in gold, and Tony Sparano's death left a void the Vikings couldn't really fill after he passed. Even their starters from last year, who were relatively healthy this season anyway, have regressed a lot.

Maybe I don't understand what year over year means, but how does an increase of $4.1m extend the $10m streak they're talking about?

It's $177.2 right now. The wording is bad, it's going to increase to somewhere in that range, not from the low to the high
