Indeed. Let's get back to free agency. After all, there will be plenty of free agents hitting the market this weekend.

I am guessing that Rick will wait until after the cut to 53 and pick up a cheap insurance quality type of QB. I truly believe we need to aim much higher than that and offer up a high draft pick and see if we could get some one who is NFL starter material

I would love to have him back. I mean, with our pass blockers and the situation at QB, we're likely to move to a lot of heavy formations.

And besides, even if he doesn't see the field, we can use the money we saved from cutting Sully, right? [emoji48]

prediction:

low scoring game. vikings win but will have to battle hard from the get go to nab the W. they won't be up by the half. They'll go back and forth and the vikings will come out ahead with they last possession of the day. My confidence for this season will be restored a tad bit

Devin Hester anyone? He was just released. Man I miss Sherels back there.

I'd be interested in a 300 pound nun. As long as it puts TJ Clemmings back on the bench

In that case, maybe Don Barclay is more your speed. We would appreciate that one.

Clemmings is actually decent at run blocking but horrible at pass protection.

Sorry to go off topic again but I just wanted to add this.

If Rodgers was greatly impacted by losing one WR (jordy), you can imagine what poor pass protection, poor run blocking, new receivers, and a new offensive philosophy would do to him.

And that's why I'm glad we didn't draft Will Fuller. Just terrible hands
