Queens OL appears to be prodigious. If the bum Darnold could do what he did last season with that offense, imagine what Butte could do.
Agree MIN is trying to improve the OL. Darnold is/was much more mobile than Rodgers though. he got flushed out of the pocket several times against Gb and other teams and hurt them scrambling for first downs. Rodgers days of doing that are gone.

Sure Rodgers had a bad OL in NYJ - I've been saying he'd struggle with that line since he was traded there - but his ADOT and ANY/A weren't that great, and it took him something like 30+ games to crack 300 yards passing. His arm still is good, but with aging QBs it's usually not the arm that's the problem. It's they can't move in the pocket anymore and don't like being hit, and when they do get hit (and get hit more often) they get hurt more easily.

I also think Rodgers is very set in his ways about what kind of offense he wants to run, and how much autonomy he has at the LOS to audible. Even in a QB friendly system KOC runs there would be a lot of friction. (ex. bye bye pre-snap motion.)
If the Vikes re no longer interested, my guess is it's because the mental makeup and salary demands weren't worth it.


Said it a dozen times already, he was a great great player, but he ain't a great player anymore.
