Why the Vikings didn't overpay for Sam Bradford...

[Iggloo]

The AP loss is big, if he actually misses that long. He has a history of coming back sooner from injuries. But father time is undefeated and AP is well on the wrong side of 30 now.

I think AP being out 3-4 months could put them in danger of not making the playoffs.

sure you do....you didn't have them as a contender anyways

 

[PDay8810]

I was wrong. My bad.

Let that be a lesson for those who don't know how to admit when you were wrong.

classic back spin....onward cowboy bob

So translate...there are two types of people in the world. Homers...and everyone else.

People who disregard stats, results, and history and instead base their opinions on hope and wishes are homers. Nothing wrong with it, but don't get your panties in a bundle when your homerism is called out.

I am not a Vikings fan. I have never called Minnesota my home.

Nice try.

I watched every snap of every game of the entire season. I didn't just read a stat sheet. C'mon now. He got stopped REGULARLY on short yardage for a year and a half before that. <shrug>

Taking handoffs when teams were expecting Wilson to run, or being through to the secondary untouched on passing downs? He was fvcking nails.

You are STILL talking about a season when I am talking about a game EVERYONE knew Marshawn was owning.

Heh, again, you forget you're talking to a guy who watched every down of Seahawks football.

From a writeup of the game.

Lynch finished the game with 102 yards on 24 carries and one touchdown, but was stopped on a critical third-and-1 play on the Patriots' eight-yard line in the fourth quarter.

The failed conversion led to three points for the Seahawks, as opposed to a chance at seven, and was a big turning play in the team's four-point loss.

So yep, he averaged 4 yards a carry for the game, he also got STUFFED in a critical short yardage situation in the same damn QUARTER.

The Pats came out in jumbo and lined up to stop Lynch.

There's a plethora of coverage from the Pats. The were all expecting a handoff to Lynch. Which would have played into their hands because it would have kept the clock moving.

People act like it was a foregone conclusion that Lynch could get 1 yd.

He didn't do it earlier in the game, and there was no guarantee he'd do it on the goal line.

As I posted earlier, the team had struggled converting 3rd and 4th and short for a season and a half.

So he got stopped...do you even have a clue about the law of averages??

Your posts are telling me otherwise.

Dude, you're not thinking this through. I argue the LONGER period (the season and a half prior), and you say I'm being too expansive, to concentrate on that ONE GAME.

I reply that not only in that GAME, but in that QUARTER, he got stopped on a 3rd and short and cost the team 4 points (heh), and now I'm not paying attention to the law of averages.

C'mon now.

Pick one piece of logic, and stick with it.

But you've already lost. Neither of us is stupid, that you're now resorting to 'yer teh stupidz' is you also waving the white flag.

I won't hold it against you though.

You are using a full season to sum up how he played against the Patriots. That is idiotic as can be. I literally cannot state how fucking stupid that is.

I will hold that against you.

I will hold that against you.

And then, I gave you an example of him getting stopped in that game.

You can't have it both ways. Pick one.

But I did have them as a playoff team. I did not think they would win the division even when completely healthy. I figured them to be a wildcard team. Win a wildcard game and not make it past the divisional round. However wildcard teams have won the SB in the past...I think the Giants were the most recent. It can be done but I just would not count on it.

You don't have to be a homer of a team. You are obviously wearing your Bradford PJ's.

I was told I don't give opinions, just dump on others, so I thought I'd give an opinion based on how I read this board. I should never of implied all....shoulda said most I guess, sorry about that

First Sam has an imaginary national championship. Then he has a very good 2015.

I'm still waiting on an explanation or answer to my question on how you claim Sam had a very good 2015

 

[SJ76]

Sam Bradford is quite possibly the best quarterback of all time with a great hypothetical team around him.

More homo than homer. 20 pages of Bradford is full blown homo
