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

[Great Dayne]

Since the Vikes are the gift that keeps giving and are in desperation mode at O-line with the trade deadline tomorrow I'd bet they would relinquish a first, and a couple second rounder for the GB G TJ Lang right now.

Vikes just ran into a buzzsaw tonight. Bears are like, peaking and whatnot.

I'd make a board life bet with you that they won't make that trade... you man enough to back up your stupid fucking posts???

Game manager numbers don't work well when your defense isn't playing lights out.

The Bears huh..


Halloween? Full moon?

Excuses coming in 3..2..1

Nothing like getting wood for a NFL team in September/October.

Is having the worst OL in the NFL an excuse? It's a fact. The Vikings defense couldn't make a stop last night got torched for 400 yards.

The Vikes only have to give up a 2nd rd pick if they win the SB. 3rd rd pick if they get to the championship game. 4th other wise. If they win the SB I don't think anyone will care lol.

So you are saying it will be a 4th...

If they can't fix the OL yes. It's not just bad it's historically bad. Right now worst running game avg since 1953.

The salary cap website I looked at showed the Vikes with 12 mil of space next season. Yes they will be in a good position cap wise next year if they dump AD. They would need to address the O-line, TE spot, RB position. I'm not sure if they can do that all in the draft.

LOL @ the Cowgirls who are -18 mil in the salary next year. I assume Tony Homo is gone.

1) It always comes back to that
2) Your number is wrong

So why the difference now and 3 weeks ago?

 

[LambeauLegs]

OK, time to change the thread title to "Yes, the Vikings overpaid for Bradford"

If they used the same value on O line they may have been better off

Defenses have figured out they can't pick up the blitz and without a running game that's bad news. now they're getting through without even blitzing and can Drop more DB's in coverage.

When they made The trade they still had their two starting tackles. Not to mention AP. It's a totally different offense.

Bradford becoming a disappointment for a third team.

What a shocker.

Lol yeah I'm sure the Vikings are really disappointed in his performance. The Eagles got a first rd pick and I'm sure the Rams wish they never made that trade as they still don't have a QB.

Can't be too disappointed.


We all knew what they were getting.

 

[packerzrule]

the Vikings will get a chance to right their ship with their next game against the Lions

if Bradford continues to struggle during that game, what would their options be?

 

[bt08]

its a long season, that being said , the Vikes have looked awful the last 2 games, still in first in the division so things could be worse. Nothing i've seen from Bradford over the last 2 weeks had made me think he isn't the guy for the job, if the O line play doesn't improve I expect him to struggle, like anybody else.
