RpMc Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) We may waste picks on specialists... but at least we didn’t cut our third round pick from this years’ draft or trade a player at a premium position for peanuts while not upgrading dire areas of need with the trade. Looking at you Houston Texans and New York Jets. Edited August 31, 2019 by RpMc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having success in minor league baseball doesn’t mean you’ll be good in the majors but it usually gets you at least an opportunity. That’s what is unusual here. Usually if you succeed, you get a chance at the next level. Apples to oranges comparison with playing QB to pitching, but if a pitcher throws crappy bull-pen sessions do you think he’s going to get longer game looks? Probably not. With baseball’s schedule, there isn’t much to evaluate on BUT games. They don’t have a full week of practice to evaluate a player from game to game Sloter wasn’t performing well at a lower level (practice), so it didn’t translate to increased opportunity at a higher level (preseason games with anybody but the 3s) Edited August 31, 2019 by RpMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Why do Vikings fans get so into these developmental guys? John David Booty, MBT, Sloter, Thigpen, etc. Everyone thinks they're the next HOF quarterback if given a shot 🙄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
