Apparently he's pissed the offense still sucks.

He has all the right to be pissed. Like I've said before many times, the Vikings need to sign some proven, legitimate football players on offense. They keep signing these athletically gifted but extremely inexperienced players that have some upside, but have very little knowledge of the game.

What do you call Steve Hutchinson and Chester Taylor? Yes, their signings this offseason were disappointing, but who would you have had them sign? An aging WR like Horn or Moulds? Lackluster veteran QB like Harrington or Carr? Wifebeating TE McMichael?

He doesn't have the right to sit out, he is just being a jerk...The offense is developing like a team should develop it, from the inside out...rebuilding takes time, but I think we're gonna be a good team when all is said and done...

Unfortunately, Minnesota is a fair weather fan state so unless the Vikings put a competitive team on the field, the fans will stop watching. They had trouble selling out a few home games last year.

Actually Joe Horn would've been a good signing. He's a very experienced vet who a young QB like Jackson could rely on and he could teach a thing or two to Williamson, Rice, and Co.

Signing a tackle to compete with Johnson and Cook would've been smart too. Johnson is looking like a bust while Cook is trying to play an unnatural position.

Signing Daniel Graham would've been good. He's a proven player who can catch and block and he's faster than Wiggins.

Actually he does have a right, the remaining camps he isn't attending are voluntary. He is still reporting to training camp on time.
