McNabb to the Vikes ?


Jim Almquist

Recommended Posts

What is the plan if McNabb decides he doesn't want to play here??? All the serviceable QBs (the ones the Vikings should have been after anyway) are pretty much gone at this point.

tick, tock...

I dont have a problem with it I guess because I don't think this team is in total rebuild mode. I want to see the final roster. The nucleus of a very good team from 2 years ago is intact and this year, like the bears last year, they have the easier schedule.

Wanna hope this works out but my gut is telling me he will be a cancer on the sideline reminiscent of Chris Carter and Randy Moss. That worked out well.

Not so fast there james_walleye. The Bears have the easiest schedule by far. In fact, the Vikings have the second hardest schedule in the division next to the Lions!

3t. Detroit Lions 133-123-0 .520

10t. Minnesota Vikings 132-124-0 .516

13t. Green Bay Packers 130-126-0 .508

23t. Chicago Bears 125-131-0 .488

Not rebuilding? Nucleus still intact?

Allowing Sidney Rice to leave is neither of those.

I guess Rice and T-Jack are the new NFL power couple. grin

Sidneys damaged goods after his hip surgery, good riddance.

As for McNabb, I would rather they gone after Orton. Dude put up some very solid numbers last year, was NOT his fault the Broncos defense smelled like a fish market. Yeah they were that bad.

Ya lmit I might be changing that stance. I just heard about Rice. That certainly changes things......

McNub will start, McNub will rip it up, McNub will get hurt, Ponder will step in and be our new franchise QB.

McNub knows how to play some ball, only problem is he's never in very good shape and has bad work ethic. He's football smart though so he can help Ponder, as long as Ponder don't take after his work ethic.

McNabb didnt do to bad last season, and I do think he will be good. He was set to have over 4000 yards if he got a long with the coach a little better.

Frasier claimed that they were moving away from the west coast offense and towards an offense similar to Atlanta's, so if McNabb can leave his ego and wheelchair at home it could have potential. Still wondering who they plan on using for WRs.

Getting Vincent in a trade would be the best option, otherwise there's some decent free agents that can help out.

We should have some extra money now that was gonna be used in re-signing Sidney bean. There's also some nice O-line guys out there, couple new O-line guys is probably more valuable then a #1 reciever.

I agree, we need help on O-line more then we need a replacement for Rice. It sucks we lost him, but lets get a couple good linemen and seal up the offense. We can survive a season without a number 1 receiver.

well, McNabb will be in pieces after Fairley, Suh, Williams, Vanden Bosch and Avril get done with him smile

Webb to wr. Still got Harvin, the shank and the #1 te in the draft. There's your 4 wins and a trip to LA.

Could get a guy like Floyd, Plex, Breaston, Steve Smith (Giants), Braylon, Sims Walker to fill his spot for cheaper. Take that extra cash and do some O-line work, get some space for AP and help our QB.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Our O-line sucks bad. I'm more excited to watch the Lions defense play this year than anything. Suh's a beast, and Fairley and Vbosh will be solid. That D-Line is going to be tops in the league this year.

LOL!

What was the plot of the movie "Major League" again?

After yesterday it doesn't appear that the Vikings have any intention of being competitive in the league this year or next for that matter.

I'm telling you that the Vikes are playing for the #1 pick. Then the will draft Luck because "he was too good to pass up" and we'll have 2 first round QB's with no o-line to protect them.

Might have to buy a cheesehead this year and switch allegiances......

Almost no team is in total rebuild mode in todays NFL if ya follow things and how they work.

At least LIMIT realizes we do need a QB, you can not go into a season with no QB's and that is what we have. Webb is not QB and Ponder isn't either but keep dreaming that they are if you want. No owner/team is going to risk that unbelievable ridiculous non-sense.

So the debate is Orton or McNabb....LMAO.

Question 1 can they protect him?

Question 2 Who is the #1 receiver to replace Rice?

IF they can answer these its a good short term bandaid at the QB position.

D needs to step up their performance too, last year they were no where near as good as prior several years.

Who is there safety? Is also a good question.

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.

      I'll bet she's better at it!!!!
