Gleaned from an article on yahoo sports… ). Minnesota's defense has given up the most receiving yards per game to wide receivers and the sixth-most deep completions this season. Just another reason on the list of reasons to fire fn Zimmer, at 00:00 on Sunday

GM would need to have total control of hiring coach, draft, FA and all other player decisions. So Spielman's in charge of??? Cheerleaders?

There were at least three or four games where a team scored twice in the final two minutes of one half. Hmmm, I wonder what Kirk's record would be if we were just a middle of the pack defense?

I think Zim lost any edge years ago. Not sure why he signed an extension. Money I guess. Looks completely disinterested.

For example, the people on this site couldn't even give him a fair moment when considering what it would be like if we didn't have the worst defense in the NFL - especially at the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters, which you were more than happy to discuss in of its ownself yesterday without bringing up Cousins and the what ifs

Cousins was not this team's biggest issue this year, it was our HC's conservative philosophy, imo but he is part of the bigger problem/puzzle of winning a Super Bowl, which is all I care about. I hope our GM doesn't take a band aid approach and go all in 2022. If I were the Wilf's I'd look to 2023 and beyond. New GM, hires HC and trades QB. I'm more concerned with upgrading the TEAM, even if if means a STATISTICAL downgrade at QB. I'm thinking we go for our franchise QB in 2023, as this years draft class isn't strong? Clean slate, contend for division in 2022 and Super Bowl runs after, in a perfect world.

Clean slate, contend for division in 2022 and Super Bowl runs after, in a perfect world. This year was the band aid approach year. The defense needs a complete overhaul. A new GM (along with a new coach) will understand that. Next year has to be a rebuilding year, so keeping Cousins one more year seems likely (as he won't be extended, and his contract will no longer affect the salary cap in 2023).
