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

[skinzfan]

Who gives up a first round pick for a career 25-37-1 QB? The whole league is laughing at them.

I never heard anyone claim that the Vikings would be in the NFCCG because of their oline at the start of the season.

No, but it wasn't nearly as bad then as it is now. We've gone through double digit starters due to injuries and ineffective play.

The same guy who gave up a 2nd for AJ Feeley off of 3 relief starts of McNabb.

The same guy who drafted Christian Ponder.

Like I said before - if he is capable, it's not unheard of for a QB to compensate for a bad oline just enough to win.

This is a historically bad OL though. I'm not saying Sam is great, but he has been done zero favors and has amazingly not gotten hurt.

The 2011 Giants were the worst in the NFL.

How many single possession games have the Vikings lost this year that they could have won if they got one or two clutch plays from their QB?

The same guy who drafted Christian Ponder.

I wouldn't go too hard on the man.

Isn't he responsible for assembling most of the defensive talent?

 

[Uhsplit]

I happened to tune into the end of the Vikes v Coyboys game. Being a Seahawk fan and a person of moral fortitude, I wanted Dallas to lose.
The graphic shows on the bottom of the tv screen that Bradford is 6-6 on this drive and that a TD will end the game. In classic Bradford tradition he makes a poor throw when it counted.
The Rams made him #1.
Then he got his chance to show in Philly...
Then he got a chance to show in Minny...
Next...

All of that, with the exception of Harrison Smith and Xavier Rhodes, was assembled before he was GM (Greenway, Robison, Griffen) or after Zimmer was here (Joseph, Barr, Kendricks, Newman). I don't think that's a coincidence. It's like a bar that is completely carried by their bar manager's effort, despite their GM being an incompetent boob.

Thought the Vikes could overcome their horning sorrow but no they keep on blowing.

Well, not sure what are you talking about. Have been rooting for you guys from the start of season, for many reasons. What happened?

 

[The Derski]

What happened is that they are the Vikings. If I weren't a Packers fan I'd feel sorry as hell for them. I still almost do.

The worst/best part is seeing the fan reaction in the stands.

Eat my ass you fucking prick.

 

[CowboyB]

I don't understand football is the ultimate team sport.

FIFY

 

[CowboyB]

I am clueless about the situation in Minnesota

FIFY

And that is fine. Nobody should expect a fan of another team to fully understand another team that isn't even a rival.

What people should expect is for those like you who are clearly clueless of the situation to not talk out of your gaping ass.

 

[PhillyGreen]

As the season progresses it becomes clear that Sam Bradford was not worth a #1 pick and the Vikings clearly overpaid for him.

 

[jarntt]

No you weren't. The word was not a question, the sentence was the question. So the question mark ended the sentence.

Why is this such a big deal to you? oh noes, you made a grammar mistake. But you MUST be right so you keep saying others are wrong.

I think it is clear he is either unwilling or unable to comprehend...waste of time. Like a few others on here he seems to feel if he speaks last or loudest, he wins. It's why some threads go on forever with nothing really being said...
