Re: Vikings vs. Cardinals thoughts

As for taking the risk, I don't think the players can just declare they're not playing, per the CBA. That's why I think what McVay is doing ... simply making it the team's decision to not play the starters ... is the only way to completely remove the risk of injury. Player pay frequency is also set...

Re: 2019 Roster Moves and Transactions Thread

I don't know why the Vikings kept 4 TEs. I'm assuming Dillion is a placeholder until Morgan comes back. Maybe someone knows more than I do on this, but outside of Morgan how are we rating these guys as blockers? I'm still not sold on bringing Rudy back...especially on a 4 year deal, but I hope he p...

Re: Vikings vs. Cardinals thoughts

They played him for a reason. Your getting paid. Play or quite and do your TV stuff FT. Checking out is a bad deal. He checked out of the NFC Champ game also. Appears to be a pattern here. He better check in week 1 and get a couple of interceptions and shut his side down. Do something great. Yes th...

Re: 2019 Roster Moves and Transactions Thread

When all the dust settled from this years draft to the 53 man roster 10 out of 12 draft picks made the team. That is insanely successful. The other two are on the practice squad and may make the team later. If half of these players evolve into starters this will be one of the most successful Viking...

Re: Optimist, pessimist, or somewhere in-between?

I'm both. I'm 40 years old, and have been a big mn sports fan since day 1. Shat I've learned in my years (to me) is that mn sports are almost always ok with just "being there". I see all these teams like the Yankees, the Lakers in their heyday, and others, be aggressive when trying to make...

Re: 2019 Roster Moves and Transactions Thread

Sloter ended up signing with Arizona, who put him on their PS. Their backup is Brett Hundley and we all know how bad he is. Sloter will never see the field. Again, if he was good enough, we would have gotten a pick for him. Nobody knew we were cutting him. I figured we’d keep 3 QBs as we usually do...

Including at least two teams that only kept one qb (Sea, DEN).

As opposed to the super intelligent "Sloter will be the face of the franchise" take that you made above. I made no such post. Coaches all the time fail to play guys that don’t fit their mold. So show me the post I made that assertion or Piss off. You're right. That was someone else. But, ...

Re: 2019 Roster Moves and Transactions Thread

He didn't show any improvement. Can't even challenge for the backup spot at this point. Speilman tried and it didn't work out. If there were interested teams we could have gotten a 7th rounder for him. I'm sure they tried. We might bring him back if our CB situation gets straight. Just how many tra...

Re: Why did Kyle Sloter NOT make the roster? Vikings will REGRET this!!!

I can't believe how upset everyone is getting over a 3rd string qb. Like someone said above, no one would trade anything for him.
The fans of this team can be almost as frustrating as the team's performance.

The move to acquire him is an embarrassment. But hopefully Bailey will make us forget about all of this during the regular season.
