Players who haven't been used to their best ability

I'm curious what players, both current and historical, you guys think weren't used properly?  Like when you see a player such as Minkah Fitzpatrick go from the Dolphins and playing a little bit of everything in the secondary... to the Steelers and play a certain role and be very effective at it.  Not sure if this is the best example, but wondering if you guys have any thoughts.

Not necessarily that he was a hidden gem but I’d say calling QB sneak on third down for Jake Fromm was a misuse of talent

Def tua the first couple of years. I mean this might be biased from a dolphins fan, but they weren’t using him correctly. Flores hated him and often left him to dry. Now, I’d say he’s borderline top 10-5 ish (depending on where u stand) and lighting up the league

I definitely don't think you're biased because I 100% agree.  He's incredible!

As the Vikes are my second favorite team, I'm curious why you say that?  I don't disagree or anything but I don't see enough of them to really have an opinion.

I may be wrong, but I think that they should run him up the middle instead of running him around the edge because it’s obviously not working.

I could see that.  Yeah, running to the edge and perimeter seemed to be Dalvin's strength, imho... and maybe that's why they continue even if it's a new offense, Idk?

Hope to see more of Cam Akers, too.

BTW, so sorry about Kirk.  It really saddens me.

Cook was fast and good at juking past them. Mattison isn’t like that.

Yeah. I hope that Jaren Hall can at least get us to the playoffs, and then Kirk can be back and we might go far.

Hope so, too!  It seems like the defense is coming along, too.  Bynum is playing super well from what I've seen.

That makes sense.  I just remember him as the backup to Cook and looking good in minimal touches.

We just need to spend more time in practice and less time practicing celebrations.😂
