Purplexing Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I say it is a tie between the starting RB prospects who were signed as a FA to be such, or drafted with the Vikings 1st draft selection, with a trade up to do so. What say you? Who did I forget as a failure to fulfill expectations through a mere 8 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I don't think one can call Cook a dissapointment. He played well but got hurt. id throw Bradford's name as most dissapointing. He was supposed to lead the team but can't play on his knee. Doesn't seem to have an injury, the guy can't play. Dissapointing that he may never play again. The team is playing well so there really aren't many candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hard to say that anyone has been a disappointment. There are areas of criticism, but nothing that I would call disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Floyd, and his Kombucha drinking, is the biggest disappointment that comes to my mind right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Treadwell continues to be disappointing, so far at least. even today and last week, he does some things in games that show his on field awareness is not as acute as it should be.

Both Floyd and Treadwell haven't produced much, but they don't get a ton of opportunities behind Diggs, Thielen and lately Wright too. I hope the coaches haven't given up on Treadwell because I still think he has lots of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakish Mind Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 This is easy. Treadwell is garbage. He was drafted to be a #1 receiver. I don't see him ever being better then a 3rd receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him ever being better then a 3rd receiver. I don’t think Tread is garbage. He’s running much crisper routes than when he came out and his run blocking is solid. He has a chance to put it all together due to his age. Drafted to be a number one, sure, but he needs time to develop given his readiness when drafted. Next year is he litmus test whether or not he can be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Was Treadwell truly drafted to be a #1, or is that just something fans put on him. Diggs was clearly the #1 when Treadwell was drafted. Also, hard to call him a disappointment. He’s catching the passes thrown to him. He’s on the field. No, the big plays aren’t coming, but we don’t exactly have a QB who spreads the ball around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Kai Forbath's extra point attempts We still don't have a starting QB starting for us Stefon Diggs's groin injuries Kyle Rudolph still can't break a tackle to save his life. Danielle Hunters statistical production Most of these things are relatively minor. Diggs needs to be fully healthy to be effective though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the expectations were so low that his current production is not a disappointment it was pure foolishness to have drafted him where the team drafted him. I haven't completely put down hope for the guy. He does have potential. Lots of guys have potential though. MoBo has potential too. By this point, the odds are hugely in favor of the Tradewell never becoming a starting WR for the MN Vikings. He likely does not sign a second contract with the Vikings. For a frist round WR, that is a huge disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
