I'm starting to think AP day's as a Vikings might be history,this is taking to long it go's on and on all of a sudden Mark Wilf has something to say and Ricky and Mike Zimmer,too much talk in the past the Draft should be VERY VERYinteresting
I might be a good sign. When this all started to happen the head honch's where all over it then too. Now they are claiming they want him back. In my opinion, they would be very quiet if they had other plans with Peterson. I think he will be back. I like our RB's. When it comes to the draft, Offensive line and defensive backs would be cool.
Yeah I hope they get a Offensive Tackle a TE a Defensive Tackle a CB etc. lol wow they do need a lot...but there pretty close to being a damn good team
I agree. They were competitive last season and i expect them to be even better this year, especially with Peterson in the backfield, Bridgewater will have a whole new offense to run and should get more of a better look to the defenses as they try to stop Peterson. DB's have been an issue in Minnesota for a long time now. It's about time they check that off the list and address it appropriately.
wow that's a strong statement by the Vikings about AP,if they can reconstruct his contract hope they can it could become a big hang up....but i like what the Vikings statement said,now it's Rodger ( The Dodger ) Goodell and the NFL turn
From PFT... - Jerick McKinnon, who will likely be the Vikings? starting running back if Adrian Peterson doesn?t return to the team, is recovering from back surgery. McKinnon told the Star Tribune that he tried to play through his back injury late in the season, but it just got too bad to manage. He needed surgery and is expecting to be good to go for 2015. ?I was happy with how the season went. It was a blessing, just being able to play in the NFL, a dream come true,? he said. ?I took it for what it was. I?m happy but I?m not content.? A college quarterback in a run-first offense at Georgia Southern, McKinnon had a great performance at last year?s Combine and was drafted by the Vikings with the idea that he could be brought along slowly in learning the running back position while backing up Adrian Peterson. As it turned out, Peterson was suspended for child abuse and McKinnon emerged as the Vikings? starter. He played very well, averaging 4.8 yards a carry, and will either be the Vikings? No. 2 running back if Peterson returns next year or the No. 1 running back if Peterson is gone. But in order for McKinnon to be the starting running back, he has to get healthy and stay healthy.
Jerick McKinnon I just don't see him as a every down RB but he's a change of pace RB,is he a good RB yes he is I thought Matt Asaita ( sp ) played very well the Vikings NEED a RB hope they draft a RB,IMO they better fix this O-line first can they find a Robert Smith type RB?
AP says he's uneasy if he will return to the Vikings,it's just amazing to me all of a sudden they want AP back....yeah right sure they do where in hell was the front office when all this came down,they really did show a whatever kind of outlook about this sad messy situation...Rodger ( The Dodger ) Goodell to me it seemed like he had personal grudge but i hope AP comes back and stays a VIKING
...and now for something completely different. CBS reports... Guess it's going to be what it will be and always has been... a mess.
yeah i read some things the Vikings look like a lost team...too many AP haters but the haters have no answer what it will take to bring a Championship to Minnesota what did they expect after letting him twist in the wind, IMO a massive fail by the front office hoping for the best here....but your right what a mess this has become
Now, AP's rep and the Vikings VP are seen yelling and arguing with each other. Not a good looking situation.
wow i read about the blow up at the combine,what's going to happen now? are AP day's history as a Viking and where in HELL is Ziggy it's like he's in the witness protection program....aint seen him or heard from him
i just read that Adrian Peterson has won his appeal for the suspension to be lifted,i REALLY hope this is over cause it's gone on way to long...the media etc. made him look like the worst person ever to many holier than thou people,lol the NFL is going to appeal this WTF lets get back to playing football i'm so tired of this neverending soap box drama
Crazy thing i heard, but havnt read myself, is AP's father said Peterson is going to play football, but not in Minnesota. Just for what it's worth.
why is his father saying things let's hear from AP first it's already a mess,AP is i would guess is very PO at the Vikings front office,the message to the players if you get in some mess your on your own=SO SAD TOO BAD IMO...AP Dad needs to stay out of this and be quiet,so AP and the Vikings front office can work this out
