Fact is, Oakland has been building their franchise better than we have. Their O-line has been been built to last, while we have been hitting the bargain bins at Walmart. That alone should make your QB better. Moving up to get chumps like Waynes, and Patterson while ignoring significant weaknesses on our o-line has been ridiculous.
I'm afraid even the Lions have passed us due to the very fact that they have finally addressed their o-line while we figured we'd find the diamond in the rough in the 4th and 5th round.

I do not think he would have thrived in our offense but we will never know. Teddy looks to be a tragic story as I am doubtful he will ever get back on track - just my opinion. Now we have Bradford's knee blowing up - just great to be a Viking fan. Now we have a handful of posters that blame Spelly/Zimmer/admin for both Teddy's and Bradford's situation which is silly to me. But we certainly have had very bad luck the last 2 years with injuries including our coach. This is a just win baby league and if we don't rebound to the playoffs then I can see a lot of changes being made. Depending on the circumstances, of course. I think the Wilf's gave Spelly/Zim combo a injury pass last year but if Sam is out and we are 8-8 again things will get interesting. With Sam, I expect to compete for the division. Without Sam I expect to compete with the Bears for 3rd place. We need a break so if the football gods are watching let's hope Sam's knee is a one time flareup for a week or two!

In the last 3 years, the Vikings record is 26-22 and the Raiders record is 22-26. You could probably argue that they are trending better, because we took a dip due to injuries last year.

Quote: @mgobluevikes said:You mean like how they drafted Penn, Osemele, Hudson, and Newhouse? What? None of them were drafted by Oakland? They did actually draft Gabe Jackson (3rd Round). But everyone else had played for other teams or multiple other teams. That's a legit but pricey way to build a Line. Meanwhile, their Defense stinks. So how exactly have they built their franchise better? They built a good Unit and have made some good draft picks (after years of bad picks), that's it. |
