My .02:
TT's philosophy for how he builds the team is not the problem. Teams like the Colts, Eagles, Steelers, Ravens etc have shown that building primarily through the draft is the best way to build a sustainable talent base. That's not to say you can't build a winner differently. I'm impressed with how the
Vikes have built their roster. Guys like Berrian and Shiancoe seemed to be overpaid at the time they signed their contracts and they gave up a lot to get Allen, but all those moves have worked out so now they have a very good talent base. They obviously did their homework for all those moves to pan out.
The point is it's not the philosophy but the execution. Other teams have built primarily through the draft and won championships. Others have used FA and had success. I would argue that the former is easier to sustain but you gotta hit on your picks. Have we done that well enough? Most would say no at this point. Maybe I'm a homer but I still think this team can turn it around.
