swede700 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 1 minute ago, vikingsrule said: I've never like Tomlin as a head coach. The talent in Pittsburgh seems to be on a major decline and at Big ben's age, how much longer will he be able to carry the team? Baltimore will surely be in the mix, I'm just not confident in Jackson and I don't think he's anywhere near Mayfield at this stage. The talent gap in that division is much smaller than it has been in awhile. But you're right, coaching could be an ex factor maybe for Baltimore, just not convinced Tomlin's "coaching" will help propel the team, if anything, the culture seems to be eroding under Tomlin over time. Big Ben seems to walk on water while Brown seemed to get away with whatever he wants. The defense has slowly declined since the Cowher days too. I don't disagree on Pittsburgh and Tomlin, but I just don't count them out. It's quite possible that it was Brown alone that was such a cancer that his subtraction will be an addition.

I was at the bar and someone told me and I hardly believed him until I opened Facebook I don't know, but much respect to a guy that can walk away from a $123M contract. I don't think that I would have it in me to do that. That takes some conviction. Hopefully his conviction is towards solid priorities. Football is just a game. Best of luck to Luck; he was fun to watch while he was out there. It is too bad for the Colts that it happened so close to the season.

He's had concussions, multiple injuries to internal organs, and, recently, lingering ankle problems that put his mobility in question (which could bring on a spate of new serious injuries from not being able to avoid being clobbered in future games). He wants to avoid being a young cripple. It's a rotton shame that such a talented QB was only able to play 6 seasons in The NFL.

Klomp Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hypothetically, would you trade Diggs for Clowney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings are already hurting at WR and are not in bad shape at DE. I have a lot more faith in the team's ability to find a DE in the future than I have in their ability to find a WR in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) There were a lot of Price fans around here I remember. Maybe it's a OSU thing? (referring to he and Elflein) Edited August 25, 2019 by Klomp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck took his team to the AFC championship, and was one of the best QBs in the game the last seven years. What bust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
