What is your definition of “enough?” Enough to win the AFCE? Sure. But that’s a low bar. Enough to make the playoffs? Sure. Enough to win a Super Bowl? Nah. Allen is elite. He can drag a bunch of bums to the postseason, I have no doubt. And while the future is unknown, there are some things we do know. We do know that Jamar Chase is better than Curtis Samuel, for example. And if every single guy of the JAG brigade matches their career highs, they still won’t be as good as Jamar Chase.

I'm not one to carry water for other posters, but I stumbled upon this earlier. You can look at @BADOLBILZ track record above. He was right. Beane was wrong. Beane/Brady "know" what they want until they make obvious mistakes and folks like you will go "aw shucks, who coulda seen this coming?" lol He had MVS in his sights so clearly that he signed Quintus Cephus the day after the draft?

You don’t say lol. So we are following the plan that has only really consistently worked with 2 teams that had arguably the two greatest QB’s of all time, along with arguably twonof the greatest HC’s of all time, along with arguably two of the greatest TE’s of all time. Welp, let’s hope for the best despite going 0/3 in those criteria. Oh man, 3/5. With all that investment, there’s no way we could have a destitute WR room and a gaggle of “weapons” led second best TE from the 2023 draft class.

Jefferson gets paid: 4yr, $140m contract signed

How many folks in this thread laughing at the Vikings loved the Diggs extension for top 5 money 2 years ago? 90% conservatively. -

The Green Bay approach was to draft 5 WR's over the last two years. Beane drafted 1 in round two. Probably not. -

Sure but they would probably trade us JJ and Addison for MVS, Claypool, Shakir, Kincaid and Samuel. 5 good targets are better than 2 great ones, or so I’ve been told. -

The best thing to do when you have a young QB is give him great targets so he can reach his potential. We did the exact same thing with Josh and Diggs lol -

The Vikings also have cheap good WRs. And they aren’t paying their QB Jordan Love money anytime soon, -
All I know is that Ive long complained about our WR investments for the last 3 years. The Beane WR strategy has resulted in: Extending Diggs 2 years before his contract was up because he was the only real talent in the room Relying on inconsistent Gabe Davis on a week to week basis Trent Sherfield whiffing on passes in the playoffs, resulting in a loss. Trading Diggs and absorbing the biggest non-QB dead cap hit in history. Honestly, I have already been proven right, imo.

Yes the Chiefs. They have drafted way more WR’s. Niners too. And Eagles. Cooper Kupp would’ve been the highest drafted WR in Beane’s tenure. No. What I would say is, “we need to rebuild the WR room, Diggs was a cancer and we finally have a couple of young cheap WR’s that may be worth $30M per season that we don’t have to decide to pay or not for YEARS, while Josh has an enormous cap hit.” I have been really really really consistent on this. I wanted the Steelers model on this. And guess what, maybe one of those guys turns into an elite threat? Or maybe even both! Do you know how you ensure you never land on an elite receiving threat? You don’t draft them. MVS will never be elite. Mack Hollins will never be elite. Samuel will never be elite. CLAYPOOL will never be elite. Hamler will never be elite. Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever. The reason the complaints would cease is because it would be proof that Beane understands having good pass catchers is important. Something he has not proved to know outside of the fever dream of 2019-2020
