Someone had drafted Peterson before he slipped to the Vikes.That kid is an absolute stud and if the Vikings can eventually find a QB,they could get good fast.

Every time i saw Taylor in the game instead of Peterson,i felt a bit of relief.

Yeah...that guy is good....until he wears down years from now, you can see he has that extra gear that guys like Eric Dickerson had.

He was the best player on the field today on offense or defense for the Vikings....but I think their crappy coach came in worried about the Packers run defense holding LT from last week so he schemed for a passing game......and Childress was too blind to then adjust based on how well AP and their whole team was running the ball.

I think they could have won today if they kept Peterson in there and focused on a running attack......sure the Packers has some nice stops for losses on running plays, but they also got gashed up the middle quite a bit.

I agree Press

Holcomb has a horrible problem with holding the ball to long and taking sacks/hits that could be avoided.If Brett was their QB,he'd have got rid of the ball on those sacks,it's a gift Favre has that's underplayed.

Its also part of the reason Brett has the consecutive games for a QB.

I agree I could not believe MN did not run more.

Last April once Minnesota was on the clock:

'Bout sums up how I felt, and still feel, about the Vikes and Peterson.

agreed...that's part of the reason I wanted to trade up for him, and having to face him 2 a year for the next decade would have made me more willing to give up greater value in a deal with the redskins...ohh well....


I still think this played a big part in TT drafting Harrell. It's purely been my speculation since the pick as I haven't heard anything publicly to support it, but if Harrell can turn into Stroud/Henderson, it would go a long way toward containing AP....

I wanted them to trade up to get Calvin Johnson. Oh well.

Anyway, Peterson is a freaking stud. If the Queens ever get a legit NFL QB to go along with that kid, they could be real tough. Henderson, Greenway and Williams make for a nice corp of talent on the front seven. Edwards and Udeze could be good ones. I'm thankful that Sharper and Pat Williams are on the downswing of their careers and Winfield soon will be too.

Our defenses are pretty similar. Lot of young talent and upside with defensive leaders that will need to be replaced before long.

As for offenses, I think we're set at QB and WR for a long time while they have their answer at RB. OL and TE are almost a wash IMO.

agreed on everything...tho calvin was never a realistic trade possibility...

I think Tarvaris could be something...I was impressed with him last year up at Lambeau in the rain. he's going to take a while to develop (I think they rushed him along too quickly--he should play behing KH all year until they're out of it), but he's mobile, got a big arm and can make all the throws. the mental part of the game is where he'll succeed or fail as an NFL QB, IMO....

I thought he looked as good as could be expected last season. Here he was, coming from the SWAC and forced into starting as a rook with a terrible offense, zero WRs, average RB and a line that underwhelmed.

I don't know if he's the guy. I thought he was taken too high but I also didn't know anything about him. Who knows.

me neither....it'll be interesting to watch if he develops under the terrible tutelage of childress and bevel.
