Fuck! Twitter was saying that the other Vikings players were throwing up because whatever happened was pretty gruesome. Knee dislocations are never pretty. I would bet the Vikings make a deal for Mark Sanchez, RGIII, or Austin Davis soon. I know the Browns are not exactly excited about RGIII and they are trading quality players away constantly.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Fuck! *sigh* Yeah, I think Bridgewater was on the brink of a breakout season. I don't know enough about Stave to form an opinion. I'm leery about putting a rookie into the starting line-up. Even the best QB draftees take time to settle into professional offensive schemes, let alone become seasoned enough to deal with the sorts of intense pass rushes they will encounter. The Vikings have so many weapons that remain, the choice of who to play at QB, IMO, comes down to who will do the least harm. They don't necessarily need a QB to light up the sky. They need someone who understands their system and who can make smart high-percentage throws with as few dumb mistakes as possible. I know that sounds like Captain Obvious advice, but a steady hand is needed here. At the least, they have a very good offensive line and can sell the play action all day long, so whoever gets the nod should usually have enough time in the pocket to get good reads on the coverage. On a side note, Jor, do you ever make it to the games or have any plans to this year? I'm curious to get a first-hand report on that stadium. It looks amazing.

It looks amazing. No, I don't go to the games. I think I have a better experience watching the games on tv. And I don't have to fork over a ton of bucks just for nosebleed seats. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg)  (August 31, 2016 at 3:56 pm)Bella Morte Wrote:(August 31, 2016 at 2:28 pm)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote: You know nothing of football, Jon Snow.

With defenses crowding the line to pre-empt Adrian Peterson, I think it's gonna be hard for Joe Average to have time to find a receiver. And because we'll have to depend on the run game more, it's only going to get worse. 
Oh FYI I declare myself winner of the pre season picks since nobody made any.
