Vikings Fans

Joining the bandwagon on making threads about midwest NFL teams, do we stand a chance?!?

We lost Brad Johnson finally and looks like we'll get Greenway back. (Yes I know he was a hawkeye, but maybe he's learn from his errors) I'm pumped for Chester Taylor and Hutchinson again. If we can land Ashley Lelie, that would be great as well! I predict 8-8 or 9-7 at best next year.

I don't know how many Vikings fans are around here and I refuse to post in the Green Bay thread.

How are the Vikings looking for next year?

I see they released Brad Johnson...who is their QB now?

Traveris Jackson (not sure on the spelling)

He has a rocket arm, but needs to work on footwork and accuracy, as well as game experience.

I want Tavaris Jackson who they got in the second round last year, but it looks like they are going to draft Brady Quinn.

Quinn would be AWESOME. He benched more than the average O-lineman benched at the combine. The guy is big and tough.

I'd be excited about Quinn, moreso than Jackson. If he falls into the Viking's lap I'd be ****** if they don't take him.

I hope we get Brady Quinn.

Not to burst your bubble, but I saw or read somewhere that Lelie had signed with the 49ers. I agree he's exactly what the Vikings need, another speedster that's afraid to go over the middle...

how about landing Calvin Johnson somehow

**mj4cy** · 03-05-2007, 02:32 PM

I'm not going to hold my breath being as the order is:

1) Oakland - needs a QB, but will probably take Russel
2) Detriot - They might be happy with Kitna
3) Cle - They are in need of a lineman more than a QB, so they'll probably go with Joe Thomas from Wisconsin
4) Tampa Bay- they have little WR talent, so they'll go with Calvin Johnson who is been phenominal in combines with a 4.3 40 time.
5) AZ- good to go, have Leinert
6) Washington - They could go for Quinn
7) Minnesota

So basically we gotta worry about Detriot and Washington or we have to trade up to get Quinn.

I think Brady Quinn will be somewhat of a bust.

Let's take Ted Ginn Jr and give Tavaris a little help. Brady Quinn (or any qb for that matter) won't do jack with the receiving core we have in place.

Agreed. I'm 95% positive TB wants him and will take him.

**benjay** · 03-05-2007, 02:35 PM

Yes he will be off the plate before Minnesota gets a chance at him.

Yeah, let's get another track star. i.e. Troy Williamson (bust).
