Is there a more poorly run team?

At least at this point, no male cheerleaders!

The current regime is scared, as they should be. This decision makes me ill. AR gives me a lot more hope than that mediocre hack DJ. AR is just a more exciting player with massive potential. Suck it up cowards, and give AR one more year. Yep, another wasted year from Ballard and company.

If it's going to burn, let the mother fucker burn.

This more than likely will be the end for Steichen & Dipshit Ballard.

That is exactly right, this is a decision rooted in being scared shitless.

And it will play out as such as decision. I guarantee right now we will win fewer games this year than last. 7 wins is the ceiling, 5-6 more likely. 0-4 start incoming too.

I think this team will/would fail regardless of which clown won the starting job. I would prefer AR only because his huge ups and his bottomless downs would at least make for better entertainment. And let's face it if you're gonna lose, (and they will lose often) better to go down in a blaze than a whisp of smoke.

The less they win, the better. I’d rather they win 2 games than 8 again.

At least then, they’d have their pick of quarterbacks.

But that’s not going to happen. They’ll win 6-9 games, miss the playoffs again, and we’ll be right back here in this same situation next season.

It’s just SO frustrating.

I wonder what role, if any, Jim’s death played into this.

I know Jim was a big believer in AR. I’m guessing Carlie isn’t as much.

Step 1 in mimicking Vikings reddit for the past year is going well. Suicide watch was pretty heavy for them in August, too.

I just saw this news and I haven't read the thread yet but, yeah, I'm not very high on Ballard or Steichen anymore. I'm expecting 7-10 and probably a house cleaning at the end of the season. Not just because of this decision, it's been accumulating for a while now. We shall see.
