Having AP back alone should improve the team overall, taking pressure off Teddy and the O-line. Then improvement should be made with the team overall if coaching is taking effect. Then upgrades at much needed positions should improve the team.
All signs point to yes but will that translate into ...

I think we should, we can net a G in FA and take a WR in the mid rounds.

LB and S are big needs and this class has good depth at each spots.

Guys like Shaq Thompson, Eric Kendricks, Bernadnick McKinney and Denzel Perryman are all guys to consider.

S isn't quite as deep but Landon Collins, Cody ...

I got a kick out of you comparing TB's college comp % 71 to 68.3= 2.7%. 3700 yds. 38 tds and three ints. so far this year and his team is 12-1. Let's do compare college careers. Mr. Oregon just receive three of the most prestigous awards a player can garner and soon will be named the Heisman ...

You can have so many outcomes and avenues to approach. One thing that irks me is the mentality that a Manning type QB is necessary to win in today's NFL. To the people that feel that way let me ask you this, if you took a hypothetical time machine, and brung back the 2000 Ravens and 2002 Bucs, do ...

I doubt it. He will be pretty old.

On the field
On the sideline
I don't know about you, but it's pretty clear to me which has a higher "injury risk".

Well if that's the case we probably shouldn't play any of our good players at all for fear they may get injured. That's like saying we should take TB out on obvious passing downs ...

I picked no, but that's assuming he's going to get a better look on offense. Between the injury risk, and the impact it could have on the following drive on offense, I'd rather he focused on that!

CP isn't going to be winded from running a kickoff back 25 yards. He runs further than that on ...

As I've said in some other threads, the Oline was not that great against Atlanta, in fact they showed a lot of the same shortcomings they have shown all season, such as the inability to maintain blocks, and Kalil got whipped repeatedly but the ball got out early enough to minimize the damage from ...

Standing is a good sign but doesn't mean he can play effectively. I sure hope he will be OK.

Consider it bucked

You are absolutely right about that. Isn't it amazing how much difference good Ol play makes? the running game was rolling. Bridgewater had the time to make plays and he did it. As far as I'm concerned, good blocking is really where good offense starts.

I think it is a two way street. I think ...

This was the point I was trying to make. If the Vikings knew they were going to need a replacement for AD this year, they likely would have went a different route. There should have been plenty of time to try to make the transition for McKinnon (taking advantage of his 'freakish athleticism ...

Frankly, I don't care as long as it doesn't prevent them from doing something else. I fail to see them not spending on Drew Brees because their cap on Adrian Peterson is preventing it, as Jim points out.



How can you possibly blame the team's failures lately largely on Peterson's contract? I ...

Souhan: Vikings' Patterson has flair for dramatic without the drama



http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/274840971.html

O.K. he is very good, but definitely does not have Moss's speed or raw talent at receiver. I would however say he has Harvin's versatility. I will say he has better ...

There isn't anyting to say about hitting a kid that hasn't already been said. It is a terrible thing.

However, I have to comment that this season has so far been the least enjoyable NFL season I can remember. The past week nobody in the media has been talking about NFL football, they've been ...
