DeadLinesman Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Get on this thread if you love all things 'Murican football. Those college kiddies will be making their way to the combines and the draft will be upon us before we know it. What will be the big talking points this season? Let us know.

Jay Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Disappointed by the Vikings last season. After such a strong start to the season they couldn't keep up the momentum after the bye week. Sam Bradford did much better than I'd expected, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy is back though, and hopefully he can get into the groove again. Rumours that Alshon Jeffrey might be signing for us as well. After being obliterated last year with injuries, hopefully we can be more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regularly injured now and isn't AllDay anymore unfortunately. Cowboys are definitely off the list for him now as well with the emergence of Elliott.

Time to give the younger ones a chance to emerge. Was never really a fan of Asiata, though. He'll get a couple of necessary yards on a tough down but he's not going to break out on a 60 yard touchdown run. He has been the face of the franchise for a long, long time and will surely go to the Hall of Fame as a Viking but his time is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Is Teddy back? Last I heard he was likely to miss 2017 as well. AP will go to a contender, Running Backs after 30 usually have a very rapid decline, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rumoured that the injury could be career-ending but I'm obviously hoping for a recovery given his role in the team. Would add some competition to Bradford in the QB1 role too.

He doesn't have the strongest arm and works best when the running game is in full flow. That's got to be a priority to sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikings will need to draft smartly this year too given that the first round pick was traded as part of the deal for Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzari Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Dolphins are very much in limbo. Hopefully Stills does not get a big money contract, he's not worth it. We need to re-sign Kiko Alonso, and then pick up a few guards in FA. As far as my draft board goes, I'd take Taco Charlton as our first round pick, followed by Raquon McMillen in the 2nd, presuming both are on the board.

I8allthepies Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The Colts O-line woes end this year (that's my optimism anyways) I do think they're still going to have secondary problems, but I do believe there will be obvious signs of improvement.

For that exact reason. The only way he'll get a ring is by going to a team with a strong QB but in order for him to do that, he'll have to give up on his carries, his stats and even his importance. Taking a pay cut and sticking with the Vikings might not have been that bad an option after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, he can carry some of the load and the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I see him taking a pay cut. He's not the same player he was a couple of years ago and teams won't rate him as highly as before. He's still a dangerous player to have and will get a lot of tough yards. It'll be weird seeing him play in another team's colours but, ultimately, it's for the best.

Spike Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ever since Aaron Rodgers said 'I'm not gay, I really, really like women' on radio I've been convinced he is in the closet. Seeing as he just got dumped by his Hollywood starlet and has been getting daily facials in Hollywood, I have to say I'm saddened that Aaron Rodgers just won't come out of the fucking closet!

Looks like Lynch to the raiders is actually going to happen. Aaron Hernandez committed suicide this morning. Unreal how upside down his life got.
