I don't even see the Vikings having that much on the offensive side of the ball other then AP at this point. Nobody knows how much Taco Bell Freeman has taken in since coming to Minnie, and I think Jennings best years were behind him in Green Bay. I have a hard time naming another offensive player on the Vikes at this point. They really need to put serious thought into the notion of trading AP for multiple assets and build for the future. The running back position is becoming more useless by the year so ship him to some running team and build like everybody else. 4 Wide or Read Option, and wait for the last of the great pocket QBs to disappear into the sunset.

Where's the confidence in my post? The only thing I'm confident about I the Vikings suckin ass. We have a very potent offense but we dont have any sort of decent coordinator or QB to make it go. It's too bad, they are wasting APs valuable time lol. I agree with quite a bit of what you said btw. This is what I said earlier in the season...Peterson is wasting the prime of his career...he should find his way to Carolina. Woah woah, Im not sure Carolina is much of an upgrade

If you put a good QB on a team with AP, Jennings, Patterson, and Rudolph, you have one hell of an offense. As for the RB position becoming useless, I beg to differ. 3 of the top teams are based around a great defense and a great running back (see Seattle, San Francisco, and Kansas City (Also Houston before their defense started sucking)). Im not sure I want to see AP leave but MN has some serious work to do if they want to get him a ring. We need a real QB asap.

We also could use Jadeveon Clowney too since we have no pass rush anymore.

They have alot tied up in older guys and AP, and need to find a way to put an entire team of quality players out there.

So Freeman isn't the answer to "How do you fix a broken ship?" huh?

When I was watching I was thinking Christian Ponder is probably still our best choice hahaha.

Yeah although we didn't do that well when he was starting this season, he still looked decent and we were putting up 25+ ppg. Our defense was giving up 30 and it made Ponder seem a bit worse then he is but I mean at least Ponder can get us in the end zone ffs.

I don't know if anyone noticed...but my Carolina Panthers are 4-3. So suck it to all the people who said we couldn't win with Cam Newton at QB...
No, don't bother looking at the teams we beat...or their records...that's not necessary...

Cams playing great, the receivers are just terrible though Don't get me started on Ted Ginn Jr...he might be a great returner, but I've never seen a guy drop more open passes...

Fucking football. Nothing more exciting then watching backups because there are injuries every 3 plays these days. 1st quarter of the Bronco/Texans game sees Von Miller out for the game, Decker went down (maybe coming back), some Texan guy hurt, we lost a lineman on a helmet to helmet during kickoff. Just get rid of fucking kickoffs already.

HISTORY BITCHES! 51 TDs for Peyton Manning. Next week he may just crack the yards record as well if he plays. With the first round bye I wouldn't expect him to sit with his lackluster history of sitting final games before byes in Indy. WooHoo

Ugh. Feels like it's injury after injury for us. Von Miller torn ACL, that should be the final nail of us being able to make a legit super bowl run...
