Not ideal....
In this: “Since 2022, when O’Connell arrived, Vikings quarterbacks have taken 516 hits — the most of any team in the league by a sizable margin … This emphasizes two less sexy subjects than quarterback: improved offensive-line play and a revamped run game.” https://t.co/9coLyRivlw

The @Vikings starting QB has to be on the same page as KOC and JJ—and there’s a lot that goes into that@athielen19 @LauraRutledge #nfllive pic.twitter.com/Gq5ffsLVXX

Thanks for posting that! Really interesting film review with AT!

You need a brain like the one in this dude's head:

That breakdown from AT probably tells a bigger story why Jefferson had such a rough year last year. Between young QBs and Wentz having no time in the system, they all lacked understanding of where JJ was going to be on any given play.
Pretty clear that Thielen has a budding career as an on-screen analyst
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Yep, looks good on tv, articulate and bright...
MB is right - Cousins will eventually go down this path too. Not that he needs the $$
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
