What?!

@"MaroonBells" Did you hear that? Bro, are you as shocked as I am? Who could have imagined? Amirite?

:rolleyes:

Thank god we’ve got Felton instead of a guy like Tuten or JCM.

Jones won’t be back next year at any remotely close to his current salary. He’ll either take a cut or be on his way.

This I agree with.

I wouldn't mind seeing Scott get a few carries a game.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Didn’t understand it then. Don’t understand it now. It’s like the Vikings saw Jones get through a season relatively injury free and completely forgot who he was: an aging back who’s had 2 healthy seasons in 8.

I’m glad we brought in Cam Akers, but a back like Tuten in the 3rd would be serving us much better right now than whatever Tai Felton is doing for us….or as you call him, Ciatrick Faison.   ;)

An even bigger misstep was taking the injured TE Bartholomew over Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the 6th when we had already signed Yurosek.

U know, I'm starting to wonder if drafting isnt an opportunity area for the Vikings?

Good thing they got owners who love to throw $$ at FA's

My guess is he wont be back next year period...

The old adage of better to move on a year early vs one too late may just apply here :)

We'll see how the rest of the season goes I guess.
