He was not claimed off waivers. He signed with Arizona's practice squad as a free agent.

What if we offered him a spot on our practice squad but he told us to F off?

What if we didn't, which is the reality of the situation.    Him and his parents lobbying in the media for him to get a better spot on the team was pretty much the end in purple for KS.  Teams have no time for 3rd string guys creating distractions which is about as dumb as it gets for a 3rd string guy to be doing. 

His talent for sandlot football against 3rd string scrubs with no real schemes or complex defenses is nice but not enough to build an NFL starter's career upon.

Yeah, I followed Sloter on Twitter. He got off on fans thinking he was some kind of great QB in waiting. I don't think he's the most mature kid. And the 'Sloter House' t-shirts?? LMAO. I wonder if any other practice squad QBs are marketing t-shirts with their name on them. And his family also got a bit silly about it all. 

he was self promoting (almost like he was admitting his fame was fleeting and trying to cash in)  the shirts were lame as hell.  family... well find a mom or dad whos kid isnt deserving of more.

I just find it interesting. None of it is really surprising. As you say, why not make a little money on t-shirts and I believe he actually was giving most of the proceeds to charity? So good on Kyle. Nothing bad about the kid at all, I was rooting for the guy to progress just like we all were when the team snagged him from Denver. Its just interesting he bought into some hype about himself when in reality, the coaches needed to see a lot more. Can't just say, 'Im a gamer' to rationalize shortcomings. He seemed in denial about that.

time will tell,  there are some guys out there that just flip a switch and play much better than they practice.  I think a large part of my irritation with the coaches is that he wasnt givent the chance to lose the 2nd spot and all the additional reps with the starters and 2s that come with it.  Mannion came in and was handed the role.   the opportunities to grow in todays NFL with limited practices is getting less and less and when the lights were on the kid came to win,  all we wanted was for him to get a real opportunity to show that against better talent and with better talent and time to prepare.  I was fully ready to eat crow on this matter if he would have gotten his shot,  but I think it escalated to quickly and the coaches and team circled the wagons to avoid a QB controversy (if thats possible for the 2nd string role) 

EDIT:  I did not know that about the shirts being for charity,  good for him.

either way,  he is gone now and onto the regular season.

So I listened to the team shill, and told you that Sloter wouldn't be #2 QB, and why.....and all I ever got from you is, "You keep saying the same thing". Well, so did you. 

Several people here were pimping Sloter saying we'd all be sorry when he was picked up and won a super bowl (something that is extremely hard to do from a practice squad). I'm also in a facebook Vikings "FAN" group (I use fan term lightly as a lot of people there just bash the coaches and most of our players), so some of those comments could come from there.

Sloter praisers will never admit they carried their man crush too far. I just don't get the love a praise for a guy the coaches say isn't ready, then 31 other teams thought the same thing (and yes, I know that AZ picked him up for PS, but that is a place for players that aren't ready).

Sloter's self praise and promotion probably hurt him. But he did it in the one place that puts 3rd string QB's on the highest of pedestals, and the bid 3rd string QB fans responded and got out of control.........and then he was no longer a viking.

What are the chances that the Vikings can unload Sloter to a Quarterback strapped team for a 1 and a 3rd?

Here's an example of a little craziness by some of the Sloter lovers.

Sloter is better than Montana. Prove me wrong.


From the Vikings page on Facebook. You can't make this stuff up!

I haven’t watched a single pre season game this year but after reading all 353389997 of the Sloter posts on this page I’m really upset the Vikings just cut the next Tom Brady

looks like that shit doesnt come from here, so take your responses and direct them to where ever that shit comes from,  why try and put that shit on people who havent said it?  the reason the rest of us avoid those places is because of shit like that.

the reason we keep repeating what we have said on Sloter is because of people like you that try and make it look like we are saying shit we arent.  if you want to drone about crazies go back to the crazies.  The comments on Sloter that have been made here are less about his potential and more about not testing his potential vs a guy with about zero upside that was just handed a job.  these are more about how the team is being run vs Sloter exactly.
I think people like yourself that crave Vikings news suffer as posters because of all your sources.  Its certainly not unique to you either,  I have seen it from  many others (and likely myself in the past as well)  but carrying something from one source to the next just pisses people off and creates schisms.
