Don't worry, they won't make either of you their QB.

It will be T-Jack, Sage or Booty as our QB.

Farve is not out of the picture yet. I will believe he is not signing after game 1.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Harvey is right on, Favre is a total team leader in the huddle and the locker room, the essence of team, he just doesnt want to participate in team activities, team training camp, team meetings, team workouts, just show up every sunday and lead his team

Quote:

Rookie Percy Harvin stood out once again in Thursday's practice, with safety Tyrell Johnson calling him "the fastest guy I've seen on the field yet."

"He's stretching our defense so I know he's going to stretch everybody else's defense when game time comes," Johnson said. "It's tough. You have Adrian and Percy back there. If they train him to throw the ball you have to worry about Bernard [berrian] and Sid [Rice] as the receivers. It's like, how do you win against that." Harvin is poised to make the biggest impact of any rookie this season.

percy has me drinkin the purple kool aid foresure....its all about health though...if he can stay healthy i think we might of got ourselves another superstar.

he's definatly gonna help out our QB's and even peterson the way he can open the field and stretch the D....he's another gamebreaker that the D will have to game plan for...he should be pretty bomb even for a decoy.

Your fantasy team went 0-16? Or are you talking about Sandmannd's and LMITOUT's Team - THE Motor City Kitty's -LIONS?

YES YES YES.. Let us assume that's his team. Why else would he be ashamed to mention them!!!!!!!

[Scott K]

I hope this kid can live up to every ones expectations!

Quote:

SI.com's Peter King expects Percy Harvin "to have the opportunity to be the Offensive Rookie of the Year."

As do we. King believes Harvin will catch a lot of deep touchdowns because he's so quick off the line and possesses terrific deep speed. The coaches obviously want him to play a huge role this season, and defenses are going to have their hands full trying to defend both him and Adrian Peterson.

[Sandmannd]

Hmmmmmm who's gonna throw the deep ball to him? Hope Sage throws less heliem bombs and gets the start.

[B. Amish]

so he can run fast, but can he catch the ball. i remember we drafted another speed receiver not too long ago that couldn't catch a cold.

[zepman]

Have you watched the Florida Gators play over the past two seasons...he can catch the ball!! Go Percy!!

[FISHINGURU]

percy for the win!

Last I saw a football team is not a democracy

May the best QB start. I don't care how popular he is with us rubes.

[FISHINGURU]

if it was a democracy we'd of probably won a superbowl by now!

junkson would of been a 5th round pick or went undrafted lol

[Born2Fish]

I agree. May the best man win the job. I just want us to have a QB that can start AND win games for us.

[Rick]

if it was a democracy we'd of probably won a superbowl by now!

junkson would of been a 5th round pick or went undrafted lol

Or be like your favorite team = the LIONS

Everyone knows your a closet LIONS Fan.

Especially by the name calling you put on our players. We got your true colors down...SILVER & BLUE...OR couldit really be GREEN & YELLER FISHINGURU

See, it looks like it almost feels good for you to come out of the closet for all to see where your TRUE COLORS are

[FISHINGURU]

hey rick why you in the VIKINGS THREAD i started? your lions, packers and bears threads are kinda dead around here muahahahahaha!!!!

lions, packers and bears oh my!!!

[Rick]

LOL,

you're silly.

I don't name call my Vikes only our opposition(unlike FISHINGURU) and always hope for the best guy to start.

I EXPECT the Vikes to win or it's time to get someone in who can.

If T-Jack is gone next year and we have a better QB starting I'm all for it. Same with our coaches.

However there is something to be said for continuity if you have something cooking.....

[FISHINGURU]

yeah the vikes better do some winning this year reguardless who's at qb!!

there's alot of battles in camp and question marks....can't wait to see it all unfold during preseason!! i need my football fix bad...its been a long time since our philly loss!!

[Jim Uran]

Tomorrow night will knock a little of the "edge" off!!! I wonder if it will be televised??

[walleyes12]

Tomorrow night will knock a little of the "edge" off!!! I wonder if it will be televised??

it will be on fox at 6:30

[crothmeier]

i will be camped in front of my 47" with the surround sound blaring for the whole game. nothing better than NFL football.

[FISHINGURU]

can't wait i'm stoked....madden 10 comes out at midnight too woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Rick]

Rosenfels looked much better than T-Jack on Friday.

[Go2fish]

Yup,

Tjack still is just not that accurate of a passer. If Sage can just make 3 or 4 more throws a game than Jackson did last year we will be a force.

This D is gonna be awesome!!!!
