Re: We're still better than the Queens...
If the Vikings and Bears are good this year, Troy Williamson starts catching balls, and Jackson can throw them, Rex Grossman doesn't suck, etc. then my excuse for being wrong with my predictions right now is that I'm too much of a fan to admit when our division rivals might be good.Originally posted by Rastak70% of the Earth is covered by water.

Okay, I got ya. By the way, welcome to the board. Most folk here can step back and be a bit more neutral but I can respect the fact you come right out and admit you can't.
Seriously, this is a great football forum and I hope you enjoy your stay here. Hate me all you want if you wish....

Well, I wish I could say I was sure of that....but the Childress "Kick Ass Offense" almost killed me last year.

Ras-
The Vikes ought to be able to run the ball next year, but how do you feel about their passing attack? Jackson looks to have the physical tools, but I'm not sure he's really ready for the mental part of the game so he'll probably struggle in places. The Vikings also look thinner at WR than we are, from cursory observation. With Chilly's Martzian offensive genius, do they actually grade out to be reasonably two dimensional this year? I mean from a "speculating in April" kind of way.</delurk>Comment

The Vikes are gonna be good. The Lions took a big step forward offensively this off-season. The Bears will still be good.Comment

Run, run, pass, run, run, pass. That was the Childress offense last year. With Peterson it might be more like run, run, run, run, run, short pass.Comment

Well Lurk, I definately think they should be able to run the ball next year. Jackson played pretty well in preseason but as expected, a Div II QB thrown into the NFL in regular season games struggled a bit. He also was coming off knee surgery which he had during the season. I honestly think he should be much better this year. He'll be running with the first team offense and getting most of the reps. I really don;t knbow HOW much better he'll be. As for the WR corps, I admit they are definately weaker at this point than Green Bay. Driver is a helluva player and Jennings sure looked good before he was hurt. However, I do have blind hope
The Vikings have a bunch of young guys, Nance, Carter, Rice, and Allison that seem to be pretty talented. Rice is ecspecially intreaging with his size and hands.
Now Chilly....man, I wasn't impressed last year in the least. THAT has me worried. I can only hope with some additional playmakers they can do a better job and that Chilly learned a thing or two from last year. He seems like a smart guy....he better be....Comment

Re: We're still better than the Queens...
I'd like to say I enjoyed it, because it wasn't very good. But as a fan of the game of football, I have to say I really couldn't stand watching it. The second Packers-Vikings game last year is one of the worst football games I have ever seen. I can't imagine how unbelievably awful it was to watch that game and not win it (though I nearly got to find out firsthand after Bubba fumbled on the 1 yard line.)Originally posted by MJZiggyI don't know, I rather enjoyed it...Originally posted by Rastak

That has been said about the Lions for how many years now? Wake me when they are actually competent on offrense.Originally posted by PartialComment

Take Favre out of the equation, and no, I don't think the Packers are better than the Vikings.
Tavaris Jackson vs. Aaron Rodgers???
That's what you're talking about when you compare the two teams... the Vikings have more talent up and down their roster. The only thing that gives GB the edge now is Favre. When he's gone, the Packers plummet down to Detroits level.wistComment

I'm not sure the Vikings have more talent up and down their roster long-term, but for this year I think the only thing separating the teams is Favre."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

I'd take Rodgers over Toothless Jackson in a heartbeat. In Jackson's short career he has already set a franchise record for least first downs in a game with three. That was against the 8-8 Packers. That offense didn't even get a look at a field goal. The one game Rodgers really got to play in was when Brett went out AGAINST THE PATRIOTS!!! Although I think It's wrong to make a judgment on either of these guys yet, A-rod still looks like a much better QB.Originally posted by wist4370% of the Earth is covered by water.
