Is your phone charged up? Seattle, SF, and Chicago all got better the last couple days.

Teasley likely will do something but what can the Vikings do that will make their QB play better?  Make the offense a superbowl level offense? 

Either Kyler and Co. start playing like a top 15 offense or the Vikings really aren't going anywhere

I believe he said it would be a better cap fit for the Vikings if they waited a week

Not that Taylor has to wait.

If we don’t want to move cap around, yes.

Move cap. Get him now.

Taylor will not fix the QB

Agreed.

K1 and KOC need to pull it together and have some urgency about it with the schedule over the next mos.

But Taylor would help Jettas and Addison.

Yup,

I'm not sure if Indy is done with the fire sale???

I guess we'll find out how badly the Vikings want him and whether they have a willing partner or not?

I think there is a risk in waiting, for sure.

I’d settle for Pollard and Dickerson.

Taylor could help the entire offense. He’s the kind of back you have to account for in both the pass game and rush game. That should take some pressure off QB and reduce teams ability to double Jefferson. If Kyler can get a little more comfortable, it could have a pretty big impact.

Seattle, SF, and Chicago moves now give Teasley a clear target to aim at. IMO he's smart to wait and see what he's up against.

Wonder how much the Vikings record 6-2 vs. 7-1 vs. 8-0 will affect his spending.

Pollard and some Oline/Dline depth looked like enough, 2 weeks ago Now? not so much.

Don't trade JJ.

I think this is where we're at. IMO you make a move for JT if you legit think this team can win a Super Bowl. As in he'd be brought in to elevate the offense, not to completely save it. And right now it would seemingly be a move to try and save the offense. A team with an offense that needs to be saved is not a team that's competing for a Championship. If you're a good GM, you're not parting with future draft assets to bring in a player(s) if that team isn't poised to make a run.

I'm not even saying the team has to win the next two weeks, but the offense would need to show dramatic improvement in order to make the move to add players. Otherwise they're just gonna go out there with what they've got and see what happens.

We've heard for 6 games, "this offense is close". It's time to put up or shut up

My sister's daughter's best friend's babysitter knows an agent's housekeeper who heard a phone conversation indicating it's JT to the Vikes....is the kind of stuff I'm reading a lot of.
