I'm not quite ready to pull the plug on the season yet, but two more losses over the next 4 games and our best option would be to lose as many games as possible this year. The worst thing that could happen is we wind up being able to take the 3rd or 4th best QB in the draft again.

LOL how can you compare MBT to Favre or Brady. The guy couldn't even get starting job in college, but know he's gonna come in and become a hall of famer? Over his college career he threw 13 picks to 8 TD's...
I was NOT comparing him to either of those two guys, you conveniently left our Kaepernick who I also mentioned BTW. I was merely pointing out those teams had QBs that were down the depth chart and were thrown into a situation where they had to play and that is where they exceled.

For every ONE Brady and Favre, there were probably 20 Shawn Salisbury's, Tarvaris Jackson, etc etc.

Cassel will be our starter, whether you guys like it or not. He will do better then Ponder, regardless if he isnt as mobile.

I agree cassel will start. It doesn't mean I like it and it sure won't stop me from whining about it on the internet.

I am also not convinced he will do better than ponder. I am guessing he'll do about the same.

MTB is nowhere near any of those 3 guys. Those 3 all had great college careers for good teams and for some reason were just overlooked in the draft. MTB couldn't even get a starting job for Sacromento State, and when he did play he was awful. I've seen his preseason performance the last 2 years, and it's pretty obvious he isn't going to be a solution for the Vikes or any NFL team for that matter.

Boy did Harvin's runs after the catch make CP look better than he is last year, early in the year, returning kicks, etc. With AP shouldering the load etc. Someone said not giving up on the season is it only 2 teams in league history have made the playoffs after an 0-3. I don't like our odds, check out our schedule from here on out and try to figure how many wins, looks like maybe 6 to me. We miss Antoine Winfield's tackling, leading the secondary, we miss Harvin's all around athleticism and Cordarelle isn't quite ready or really the same shifty type Harvin is. We have little rush without blitzing in this pass happy league good night. AP shot his own foot you don't go on the record with this 2,500 yard thing, Chris Johnson did that to and failed miserably that season, leave a sleeping dog lie, why fire up every run defense you're gonna face with extra motivation. Used to hate my teammates making dumb remarks to the other side because we always had a tougher fight then it needed to be. Bet Eric Dickerson was laughing, you don't say stuff like that, kinda a selfish thing AP and I love ya man, but how about I hope we can get out of the first round of playoffs this year and see what happens, rushing record kinda whatever, you're already a hall of famer. How about some humble like you used to do. Love your confidence, but don't want to hear it, want to see it on Sunday's like last year. I remember hearing well last year CP didn't get a full training camp, but this year we did and history will play itself out, hope he's ready for Pittsburgh's blitz packages.

Funny, Tony Romo plays through rib injuries.... laugh

Quote:

Tony Romo's ribs were a forgotten storyline in a Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but it remains a problem for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

He plans to take another painkilling shot before the team faces the St. Louis Rams this week, just like he did one week ago.

"I think tentatively we are planning on it just because of the nature of it and what we thought," Romo said Wednesday, via The Dallas Morning News. "But we'll see as we get there. It does feel better now than it did last week. It'll just keep getting better and better this week. ... I've gotten shot up before in the rib and it seems like it's a normal part of playing quarterback in the National Football League."

Matt Cassel received the majority of first-team snaps during Wednesday's practice.

Christian Ponder (ribs) was too sore to take much work Wednesday. The Vikings are hoping he can do more Thursday and insist they don't want to use this injury as a chance to make a quarterback switch. Coach Leslie Frazier said a decision on a starting quarterback for Sunday's game in London will come after Friday's practice. "It's purely circumstantial if that happens," Frazier said of Cassel starting. "We want Christian to play. We want him to get out there and continue to grow and develop as a quarterback."

If Frazier starts Ponder next week, he should be fired before Ponder even can take the first snap of the game.

Quote:
Speaking Tuesday, Vikings coach Leslie Frazier again endorsed Christian Ponder (ribs) as his starting quarterback, but said he's "still injured," and will be re-evaluated on Monday.

Frazier stopped well short of guaranteeing Ponder will be under center when the Vikings come off their Week 5 bye, but did his best to tamp down the burgeoning quarterback controversy in Minnesota. We wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings exercised "extreme caution" with Ponder, giving Matt Cassel another week to showcase his wares against the Panthers. Ponder's job should be considered in limbo until we actually see him make another start.

Glad to see if Cassel starts we can win now held up lol, 1 Cassel turnover at the wrong time we'd be 0 fer. CP would've coughed one up, tough coughin with a busted rib. Time to cut Ponder I think, can you foresee the day where that would come back to haunt us. I think Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, and Matthew Stafford are likely not going anywhere to soon. I think CP's best bet is to try Jacksonville and maybe unseat Gabbert, he best get their before Josh Freeman or somebody does, nicer winters CP. Had your back CP for 2 years and 1 start, that's all I could handle.

I have to think that Frazier is just putting on a front like Harbaugh did with Alex Smith/Kaepernik last year saying he was the starter all along, but too injured to play. I'm betting that Cassel ends up starting again after the bye, but they will say it's because of the rib injury. There was a quote last week from Brady early in the week congratulating Cassel on the start when Frazier was still telling the media that he was planning on starting Ponder if the injury allowed it.

According to ESPN 1500 Twin Cities' Judd Zulgad, Christian Ponder has a fractured rib near his heart.

Zulgad suspects Ponder will wind up missing 3-4 games. He already missed Week 4, and the Vikings are on a Week 5 bye. So per Zulgad's projection, Ponder should be healthy by Week 8 or 9. This will be Matt Cassel's window to steal the starting job for good. Despite coach Leslie Frazier's public denials, multiple national reports have indicated Cassel is very much in the hunt to start for Minnesota the rest of the way, dependent upon his short-term performance.

I would think the Rams would have some pretty good interest in either Cassel or Ponder now that their starting QB is out for the year.

I would love to move Ponder for a 5th rounder or what ever we could get for him. C'mon Rams...show some interest!!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
