Cam Akers

Sometimes, a change of scenery or culture is all that is needed.  To wit:  Cris Carter.

Somebody really needed to show a win here,  not a very big win mind you,  but a win nonetheless. 

Kwazy like a fox, trading the next GM’s picks, I like it…!  ;) B)  

3 drafts from now?  I'm not sure that I've heard of a trade 3 years out with next to no compensation.  I'd assume we're trading a 7th for a 6th or similar?

I think this tells you everything you need to know. Its nothing. It's less than nothing. It's a joke really. And I'm not even kidding about that. 

I think the Rams would've just released him. But they saw an opportunity to show a guy with an attitude problem and an inflated belief in his own value just what his true value was on the market. 

Akers has ability, actually a very good athlete. But not sure about his temperament or work ethic. As you mention, he's picked up for next to nothing. And he's only 24 years old.

I didn't see any juice in him coming out of college and he doesn't look explosive after the Achilles.  I thought he was overrated coming into the NFL. I'd be surprised if he ends up being our lead back.

A no-cost addition to add depth and stability to the RB room. I don't think there's any guarantee that Akers even beats out Chandler for RB2, but I do think he's a much better option than Gaskin, who's still on the PS btw. Some solid depth at RB now.

Where does this roster spot come from?  Is this just from Nailor going to IR?  So when he's ready to come back we probably have to decide which RB to get rid of?

Yeah, but for every Cris Carter, there's the other 99.9% that don't change and continue to suck.

Oh, I don't think he's going to be the lead back. And the Rams gave up on him for some reason. I sincerely doubt he'll be a Viking next season.

Which leads to the logical question of just why? Kwesi is playing 1973 electronic football while telling people he's all about analytics. He looks like a genuine moron.

I hear you. As I've mentioned many times recently, I'm giving KAM some more time before I bring the hammer down. Games to be played yet. But I might have to start looking for that hammer in the garage so I know where it is if I need it.

Get a tool belt,  alway have that hammer handy wherever you are.

I've said it a million times, but just because you may be "intelligent" or booksmart, doesn't mean you know shit about football and his overall actual football experience was/is extremely limited. The Wilfs have been guilty of hiring the "media darling" before without looking at actual context. I also said he was going to be a disaster from the very outset. His name was Brad Childress.
