McNabb to the Vikes ?

[FISHINGURU]

Interesting opinion. Can you defend it?

Not much to defend it's just an opinion, Percy would be an animal on a good offensive team with an elite QB. Jennings is an Avg WR with a really good QB that buys time. Percy gets stuck on a stagnant offense that don't even use him properly. Put Percy on the Packers the past 2 years and put Jennings on the Vikings and Percy would have better stats.

Other then McNabb having no one to throw to last year, and having some in accuracy issues, his numbers were pretty good. In 12.5 games, he had 3,375 yards. He could have easily broke 4,000 if he wasnt benched. He was a player that wasnt on the coaches good side, and got benched. His completion ratio of 58.3 was a little low, but he also had WR issues as well. The part that hurt him was the int's, which could have had a lot to do with the receivers as well, or the routes.

Yup, he got benched....some accuracy issues.... and his INT's were the rcvrs fault....maybe, just maybe he stunk and the coaches saw that in him?

Agreed. Mostly. Your basic premise makes excellent sense. But I think if you put Jennings with Favre during Favre's first Vikes year, he might have done really well.

[FISHINGURU]

Yeah forsure, what a difference a year makes eh? I'm lookin for more of that type of a season this year out of the Vikes instead of last lol.

[Steve Foss]

Of course you are. Hey, it could happen.

[srfishin15]

Harvin can most certainly stretch the field....he's just not asked to.

[RiverFish]

RIVERFISH..YOU SAY MCNABB WILL BE BAD BECAUSE HE HAS NO GREAT RECIEVERS TO THROW TOO IN MINNESOTA.....HE HAS HALL OF FAME TYPE NUMBERS FOR HIS CAREER, WHO WERE HIS GREAT RECIEVERS OF THE PAST? HIS FIRST 4 YEARS HE WAS 12-4 AND 11-5 WITH NO RECIEVERS OVER 700 YARDS-HE FINALLY GOT TERELL OWENS AND THAT WAS IT, NO OTHER HELP.

I get your point, I won't argue wins and losses, but he did have WRs with over 700 yds in those years.

Too bad MN is not getting the D. McNabb from 2000-2004. They are getting an old QB on the downhill of his career. 2 other teams didn't want him but the Vikes will make a star out of him right?

Vikings quarterbacks= AARP Aging Athletes Retire in Purple. good luck.

[Born2Fish]

I guess the only thing anyone can do is wait and see what happens. Not a single one of you (myself included) knows just what type of year he will have. A LOT of people bagged on Favre the first year he came here, and he had the best year of his career.

Well THAT'S not going to feed the flames of Vikingfanforumdom, is it?

True that.

[Rick]

Favre came to Minnesota and had his BEST YEAR EVER!!!

+2

[Steve Foss]

Well, except that one might consider a season including a Super Bowl win as Favre's best season ever. Stats ain't God.

[RumRiverRat]

The Vikings are terrible, plain and simple.

McNabb is not going to go Favre on the bit and takes us to the NFC title game.

If he does the Vikes will lose, McNabb has a lot of experience losing NFC title games.

McNabb is a washed up loser.

[PierBridge]

I'm liking this deal the more I hear about. 5 mill, 1 year is a no-briner for veteran QB that Ponder can learn a bit from.

Plus we've had some decent luck with veterans being brought in, Favre and Cunningham to name a few.

[Comit 2]

I love his humor. On the second half they ask him what he though of the offenceive play. He said "we got in and out of the huddle clean".

what's salt got to do with it?

[Born2Fish]

He may have not done a whole heck of a lot, but I already like what I did see. Nothing fancy, just a vet qb doing what he had to do. I REALLY hope he proves the naysayers wrong this year.

[PurpleFloyd]

The buyers remorse won't be in full swing until about week 6.

[james_walleye]

They have nothing to lose by going with Mcnabb. If it looks grim after 6 weeks then the Ponder era starts. They didn't give up jack to get him.

5-7 Million and 2 possible picks.

[FISHINGURU]

You do what you have to do when there is no off season programs. The original plan was to draft Ponder and start him but you can't do that with the lockout lasting as long as it did.

Vikes are gonna do better then alot of people think this season.

As it stands, I find it hard to find more then 6 wins from the schedule. And that would put us in last place in our division.

[FISHINGURU]

We'll never get last place in the division this year.
