Guess living somewhat out of the loop in MN im a bit confused by the fire MLF talk. What exactly did folks expect from an offense with 2 rookie WRs (who barely saw the field together), a very mediocre TE, and an OL that constantly was shuffling pieces around? Did you expect A.J. to catch 150 balls as if the defense didn’t know it was coming? Lazard isn’t garbage, but he ain’t a 1/2 and never was, he’s a 3, maybe a low end 2. There just wasn’t any pieces to work with outside A.J. until Watson finally got healthy and blew up.
it’s the same old song and dance every offseason with the WRs...one good one (Davante, and now Watson), and a bunch of throwing crap at a wall and seeing if something will stick. Maybe Doubs matures, who knows. But there needs to be a solid 2 WR to balance things out. Then go sign Sammy Watkins and act like you really found something...guy has been done for years. If it was me I’d draft another one high this offseason and be done with this garbage every offseason. Iirc Lazard may even be a UFA.
Joe Barry on the other hand.....who plays zone on 4th and 2 with your season on the line? Let alone the constant zone, but then act like your CBs are elite. USE THEM!
