  1. Love KOC but his inability to show humility and admit that fitting a square peg in a round hole doesn’t always work, rubs me the wrong way

  3. Mac Jones will get 30 million/per year minimum when and if he's ever traded/free agent. This would turn into an Atlanta scenario…this only happens if you've given up on JJMc. Ya, this is all very reckless. ✌️

  4. Koc one dimensional pass offense was finally exposed this year. He was quick to demand a new oline after the rams game but it was easy to blitz a team that only passes. Made the owners spend money they didn't need to , thats why he was avoiding committing to the run this year, it worked and now he was exposed as a liar.

  8. KOC had a smirk on his face when talking about seeing 👀 that 40 times…come on, man! McCarthy and KOC relationship is good. Always searching for something that's not there

  9. The problem with "going big game hunting" as Judd puts it is this team is old and has no depth because of the failed drafts. This isn't the 2021 Rams with Aaron Donald on defense. This team has more holes, particularly on defense and the O-line, than people want to admit. Even if the Vikings could pull off a trade for Burrow, the Vikings would essentially become Cincinnati West.

  12. Run it back with JJ…hope there is marginal improvement to get into playoffs. Then, extend him on ultra low starting salary and try to fill out roster (if possible) to have a competitive team for years to come.

    Otherwise, go big and get Burrow. Quit dipping a toe in the water…go big or go home and let the big boys play!

  14. Judd .. seriously you know that locker room better than that you know KOC better than that and you also know he loves to work with rookie quarterbacks and really wants this one to work. They have no intentions of moving off him.

  16. Jefferson did the griddy (what started the whole trend) before entering the end zone, so JJM doing it I don’t get the big deal. Why did KOC have to call him out, Vikings might have got the QB right but not the right for KOC system and KOC acts pissed that’s the case. Vikings have to pick the QB over the coach.

  20. I think joe Flacco would be a very solid signing for us. He would know he is the backup. And if McCarthy gets hurt or stinks up the joint , then Flacco could get the ball to our playmakers.

  21. Living in WPB Florida, judds wrong about the dolphins. Tua is out and Mcdaniels is staying. Tua wasn’t his pick, tua is the scapegoat down here. That being said, I’m with Judd on the burrow front. If they trade for a qb it’s a top tier guy, not a first or conditional first for Mac jones (declin comparing it to wentz and Bradford is crazy. Those guys were still starting caliber qbs who hadn’t yet flamed out like Mac jones has already done.

  24. Does ANYONE think about the STARK contrast between KOC and Sean McVey where KOC came from? McVey YEAR AFTER YEAR puts out a stunning season. KOC? He''s just a loser! He's like the head coaches that go back to a lower rank where possibly they were relevant. This isn't a "MccCarthy experiment", It is an experiment of KOC competent to be a head coach. My opinion is KOC has failed, he has failed McCarthy. Keep McCarthy, fire KOC. And PLEASE get a different GM! What tiny indication is there that hiring Kwesi was qualified. I see zero. Judd will question KOC but he says nothing about Kwesi. Kwesi can't draft and he can't find working solutions in the trading season. The infrastructure is what has kept the Vikings from any competition. KOC and Kwesi have to go QB hunting, and they just aren't qualified.

  28. 8:08 KOC probably is smart enough to realize that JJ 25 games in is going to be a lot more capable of running his scheme than JJ 8 games in. And that JJ on his second contract can master his scheme. Seems like a lot of people don’t comprehend growth, and seem to look at it statically like “who is now is who he will always be”. We’d all still be crapping our diapers if that were the case

  30. If KOC doesn't have the constitution to ride it out for 1-year with JJ, he has a weak constitution. JJ is already looking bigger as the season has gone on. The neck looks thicker and the legs at least don't look skinnier. Hey KOC learn how to win more than one way. That pass-heavy, finesse stuff works against crap teams against a 4th place schedule – but it doesn't work against the best of the best in the playoffs.

  36. Judd I don’t understand what makes you think JJ will be incapable of running KOCs scheme at some point. I get that he’s a few games in now and can’t like Kirk or Darnold could, but what makes you think he never would be able to?

  37. I am more and more not liking Kevin O if you trade JJ because your Head coach can't change his system this organization has a F from top to bottom PATHETIC.
