gopherwrestler Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hard to say Treadwell after a rookie season of being injured thru out. Lets just let this season play out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb_K Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 My biggest disappointment is on The Vikings' medical staff and coaching staff for not keeping good enough watch on the hydration of players in terribly hot training conditions, so that Korey Stringer, a young, promising athlete could suffer heat stroke and die. Sorry, if I seem to be a "downer" here. But, that's a heck of a lot more disappointing than any Viking draft choice not living up to expectations. Another great disappointment is Randy Moss self-destructing and wanting to leave for another team. Another one is Gary Anderson being perfect all season, and missing a "gimme" kick when all the marbles were on the line. A Super Bowl win within the next 5 years will help soothe that pain, quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Korey Stringer was the biggest reason that Korey Stringer died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young to now anything about Steckel, but even though Tice was a bit of a strange hire, at least he brought energy. Frazier was the definition of an uninspiring hire. Beyond boring and predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, they had, by far, the worst record in their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Vikings at least recognized how bad Steckel was and he was only around for one year. We had to endure Frazier for 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think Ponder was the bigger disappointment. It was a bigger disappointment that we even drafted him in the first place, and he set the franchise back FAR more than any left tackle ever could, just because of the position he played.

Imo, Ponder is without a doubt a bigger disappointment because he played much worse at a far more important position. I know Kalil was a higher pick, but in the end a failed LT doesn't really set the franchise back that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Rice wasn't that bad of a coach. He was just given an absolute bare cupboard of support. If Tice had been allowed to hire a complete coaching staff, or had been given the type of support that the coaches who've followed, things may have turned out a lot different.
