Blogging is fun?

I’m fairly certain that readership of last week’s blog was down to the single-digits. Now being that there are only 10 of us that’s not a bold statement. But my point is, that I can’t replicate Jerks’ fantasy football blogmanship. Also, I don’t think we all have the appetite to recycle and read the same old FFB jokes. So instead I’ll talk about another thing I’m also not qualified to talk about… the Vikings. Why not? It’s worth a shot.

Two weeks in, 2-0, just beat the Pack at home to christen the beautiful US Bank Stadium… so why so glum?

Theodore Bridgewater DOWN

Adrian Peterson DOWN

Matt Kalil DOWN

MyCole Pruitt OUT

Sharrif Floyd OUT

Xavier Rhodes OUT

Okay all that is a decent reason to be depressed.

On top of that GM Rick Spielman mortgaged a good chunk of the future, by trading a 2017-1^st Rounder and a conditional 4^th Rounder in 2018 (that can turn into a 3^rd or 2^nd based off team performance). My guess is that after Teddy went down, and severity of the injury which could span two years, Slick Rick must have felt the pressure to hit the Superbowl window with this roster. The 3-5 years of solid drafting and some quality free agent adds, must have come to the point where the organization believes the time is now. But that cost to acquire Samuel Bradford is a tough pill to swallow.

Some of you will look to the single data point, that we call last week’s game, and say that Bradford looked good. He did. And it might surprise some of you, but I think he can be very good in this offense. I just don’t know if he can stay healthy. Did you know… before this year, he has averaged 10.5 games a season. Let’s also not dismiss the fact that he has that F’d up eye.

[Side bar] I googled “Is Sam Bradford cross eyed” and saw this gem of a poll.

Pretty awesome right? My favorite is #4. I just don’t know why they say “You may not vote on this poll”. Personally I found it racist. They could have just simply stated that the poll is now closed.

So back to the Vikes…

Again, I do think that Bradford can be good in this offense. At least I think his chances improve after AP went down. Seriously, IMO AP was holding back the development of Teddy and the team. The more they play in pistol and shotgun, the better I think this offense can function. I’m going to leave it there… and let you all jump in with comments from here.

This was random, but fun. I might just do this one more time.
