I miss e old profootballtalk before it was run by NBC.

Unless he’s just saying that to try to bump up his trade value, I don’t think Harvin is going anywhere.

1. The Vikings found our Head Coach
2. Adrian Peterson came back better than ANYONE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS from an ACL injury.
3. The Vikings had THE BEST DRAFT IN THE NFL this year. We drafted 3 potential perennial pro bowlers and 5 potential perennial starters. What more do you want?
4. Christian Ponder showed signs of excellence and improvement, and he did it in the biggest games of the season. The last 3 games of the season Ponder had no picks against top defenses IN MUST WIN GAMES with Mike Jenkins and Jerome Simpson on the outside. He was CLUTCH. Did Cutler, Eli, or Freeman win their last 4 games to get in this year? Go look at Eli Manning, Matt Ryan, or Drew Brees’ second year stats and tell me Ponder is garbage. Educate yourself. What about Rodgers? Oh yeah he sat behind one of the best QBs in league history for 4 years, he’s not even playing in his second year. Why are so many Vikings fans so reluctant to give the guy a chance? Do you want us to fail? It makes no sense.

So go root for another team pessimistic Vikes fans if you are going to bash your own after one of the most successful seasons in Vikings history. Keep up the good work Vikings!!

As a vikes fan, I hate to agree with you but I’m pretty sure the Patriots would love to let Welker go and get Percy. That makes their offense extremely hard to stop. I don’t think it COULD be stopped. I just hope the vikes can get a good pick, or a bundle of decent picks for him. Player for player trades are rare in the NFL.

“I’m not sure, I don’t know. We’ll see. I mean, we’ll see how everything shakes out.”

Yeah, that’s quite a controversial comment. I hope Frazier can put out this firestorm. Are you and Carl the same person?

What? Carl? Carl Gerbschmidt? He isn’t even a real person.

Ask the Arizona Cardinals how much they’d rather have a QB than Larry Fitz right now

Trade him for either:
-Alex Smith
-Larry Fitzgerald
-Kirk Cousins
-Dwayne Bowe
-Mike Wallace
-Matt Flynn

In that order.

So you’d rather have Alex Smith than Larry Fitzgerald. Perhaps you shouldn’t be commenting on a football website.

Jones and Nelson on the outside Cobb and Harvin inside or one of them at RB in 3WR sets. That would be pretty hard to stop.

Yea then maybe Joe Webb for Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews, straight up. See? I can say insanely stupid stuff too.

Jones and Nelson on the outside Cobb and Harvin inside or one of them at RB in 3WR sets. That would be pretty hard to stop.

————————————————

Couple holes in your theory… 1st, Greg Jennings will not be franchised. The packers wouldn’t put that kind of money up for a WR when they have 15 of them on the roster to take his place.
2nd, the Vikings WOULD NOT trade him to someone that they have to play twice a year.

Maybe they need to interview some Viking players that actually suit up and play for a change.

In that order.

He was diagnosed with sleep apnea and hasn’t had one since. Kid played all 16 in 2011. He’s missed maybe 2 games tops because of migraines between 09-11

From a football perspective, it’s a little surprising to me that he wants to leave. The Vikes made the playoffs this year after all, and could conceivably be better next year. Guess he feels underpaid, or the Vikes brass hurt his feelings or killed his dog or something.

As a Bears fan, I’d love to see him on the Bears or at least out of the division. Percy on the Packers or Lions scares the hell out of me.

As long as the talent remains elite, folks will want him around, but if he starts to break down, pull up lame and is not there for the team when they need him, he will find himself being more trouble than he is worth.

If there ever was a player that will be a beast during his contract year, it will be Percy. He will have strong drive to get paid. After that, buyer beware.

The Vikes need to figure out what to do, ride that one year of production, franchise him, etc. and deal with the b!tchiness, etc. or get some value for him via a trade.

Tough call either way. If they don’t pay him like an elite player in the offseason, he will be a monster to deal with next season.

So what if Ponder let it slip out of the bag, its universally known inside the Vikings locker room and the only people that don’t know are the loyal Viking fans, all 2 dozen of them.

“I’m not sure, I don’t know. We’ll see. I mean, we’ll see how everything shakes out.”

Yeah, that’s quite a controversial comment. I hope Frazier can put out this firestorm. Are you and Carl the same person?

It isn’t Ponder’s job to determine what players will be back next year. Frazier can comment on that, but Ponder didn’t because he shouldn’t.

What are you talking about? Ponder did just comment on it? And, frankly, I would expect a (good) leader to handle the question a little more effectively than Ponder did, and not create a firestorm that now requires the coach to fix.
