First,Ponder has the arm to throw to Wallace. Vikings fan here I have watched Ponder he can at least throw 50 yards down the field. second, if Harvin stays why would we need Wallace he is the most overrated player this season. Harvin has speed and the ability to get down the field we need possession wideouts guys taller than 6-2 above average speed and great hands a lot like A.J Green. Greg Jennings isn’t an answer if he pad more than 8 million and injury problems don’t help him sitting out 8 games last year. We don’t need no Tavon Austin 174 pound receiver. We need a Robert Woods who we could take hopefully late 2nd round.

Wish List …

*Sign Wallace
*Trade Harvin for draft picks
*Draft Tavon Austin,Keenan Allen, DeAndre Hopkins or Robert Woods

What has Webb done that would make anyone believe he is going to be a good Qb? I just don’t understand people and how they think … if you are talking about Webb and how he can run then maybe you should keep in mind the Qb’s usually have to throw the ball. One nice slant pass to Harvin against the Eagles is nothing to base your decision on.

I say sign Wallace and trade harvin, draft a WR in round one or two and we could be headed in the right direction. Harvin ia probably more talented that Wallace but I can’t stand his attitude and Wallace is a bigger WR with great speed.

First off Percy Harvin wants out of Minnesota, regardless of what the Vikings are saying, second, Ponder sucks and we really need Joe Webb to take over the QB position. He has talent and needs to play. Vikings won’t spend $$$ on Wallace, they did however spend big $$$ for Favre and look where that got us. The Vikings need help all around, so putting out big money for a receiver makes no sense. They actually need to re-vamp and make some good trades this off season and use the draft wisely. Now that the stadium issue is over, they don’t have to worry about that. We need secondary help and a pass rush, without Pat Williams, that really hurt us up the middle. The Vikings can’t seem to put it all together and need to stop worrying about winning a Superbowl just for the current year and look at the next few years.

Whoever shows Mike Wallace the most money is where he’s going whether the QB can get him the ball or not. As long as he’s getting his money he’s not worried about the football.
He really hasn’t done anything worthy of getting a huge contract but he’ll still get it.

Ponder (noodle arm, and lousy decision making) is the worst QB in the league.

—————————————————-

That worst qb in the league helped that team make the playoffs dunce.

Concerning Wallace, I would pass up on him. Resigning Harvin and getting Jennings should take priority. It would be funner yet to upset Packer fans watching yet another hero haunt their team….

I don’t get all the Ponder haters who say he can’t throw a ball 20 yards. Not that the Vikes have Fitgerald or Megatron (Harvin was gone 1/3 way into season), but give him someone who can run the route the way it should be run ( hello Jerome Simpson) and Ponder will get the ball there.

Did everyone forget he finished the season with the second best rating in the league behind Peyton Manning? And Ponder had no one to throw to either.

Constantly trolling Vikings links proclaiming his love for bobnelson and gerbschmidt. Same lame deductions about how terrible the Vikings are and must comment on every single Vikings story.
Worst poster on PFT.

If I’m Wallace, I’d rather go to Miami. At least there they have real fans who will fill up their Stadium for a home game.

Since when does Zygi Wilf pinch pennies? Seems like there are a lot if commenters typing for the sake if hearing the tapping of keys, not because they have even the slightest idea what they’re talking about.
———————————————————————————-
Referencing Zygi is moot at this point because it’s now Spielman who decides where the $ goes. That’s the point of having a GM. Zygi would cut the check without hesitation if that’s what Spielman wants to do, but it’s not. Listen to ONE interview with Spielman and two things are clear: he wants to build through the draft and wants to be selective in FA. Pretty sure there’s still a bitter taste lingering from Bernard Berrian’s $42 million dollar contract, so $50+ million to a guy with legitimate question marks is just not going to happen with Spielman calling the shots.

These people who question ponder arm strength need to stop playing madden n his arm strength rating n should actually watch a vikings game he kan throw bombs the problem is he really never had a real deep threat

Wallace will hit South Beach, hang out with Lebron. He is not going to a cold weather team, although since Minnie has a dome, a hair more likely.

Dude wants big bucks and warm weather, I know that.

The Dolphins keep getting this lame ass reputation for “not landing players”. Sure, they didn’t get P. Manning, but who did they lose out on… ? Matt Flynn LOL! Fins Front Office looked like genuises for not overpaying for a Clipboard Holder. The Fins had no Cap space. This year is different with money and 10 picks in the Draft. My hope is no Wallace, unless he can be got for $8M or less. Only a few Teams with the need and Cap exist. This article is BS unless it is trying to solidify a bidding war. Neither the Vikes nor Fins will pay more than Bowe got. Yes, some Team will overpay, but not for the $12M he is looking for. He may not be a great WR, but he is a number #1 and they are hard to come by in FA and especially tough to develop from the Draft.

all the retards saying ponder has a weak arm, watch the game week 17 against green bay, he dropped a 60 yard bomb in a basket to jarius wright. he can hit wallace deep easily, but it wont matter becuz the vikes are not signing wallace

Dolphins owner and front office make Miami unattractive to free agents. They use them for leverage, but they don’t want to sign with them.

Wallace needs to land somewhere that has a veteran wide receiver that can keep him in check. If he goes somewhere that doesn’t have any leadership it could be a huge gamble.

Wallace was a stud when he had Hines Ward getting in his face any time their was a lack of effort. Without Ward this season Wallace’s work ethic was horrible and his play suffered.

Harvin, peterson, and wallace could be the key to maturing ponder and so they will be less of a 1 dimentional offense it will be fun to watch unless it has an LA lakers effect

I hope the Vikings sign and overpay like they did with Jenkins and Simpson. Wallace is going to steal from someone and it appears the vikings are prime candidates.

Have to love the Viking fans who really think they are going to get a 1st round pick for a player on the last year of his contract.

Better get Wallace because Harvin is heading to Florida North better known as Foxborough.

Spielman holds all the cards, hahahaha,

Harvin wants out of Minnesota and will not resign. Vikings will not be a playoff team this year. They got lucky that Detroit and Chicago imploded.

For all those saying Speilman will never pay-out the big money for Wallace, and that he is a build through the draft guy, doesn’t like signing FAs, etc. there is one situation that may change that.

If the Vikings feel that they can’t keep Harvin, i.e. the chemistry between him and the team is so bad that they have no chance/willingness of re-signing him after this year, the choice is clear: you trade him now for as much as you can get, rather than see him walk a year from now for nothing.

Trading Harvin now will yield the Vikings at least a 1st round pick, and probably more.

If Speilman wants to get Wallace over Miami, he holds all the cards. Here’s what he’ll do:

1. Tell Miami that if the Vikings land Wallace, they’ll let Miami have the first chance to land Harvin.

2. The Patriots will have the 2nd chance, and they want him bad.

Game, set, match Speilman.

I don’t see it. Spielman has made it clear he plans to build through the draft and with B or C level FAs. While Wallace is actually closer to a B-level rather than A-level FA, he is going to get A-level money. It’s far more likely they will sign Jennings if they can.

Re the Vikes taking Packers castoffs. Sharper had several pro bowl level years with the Vikes, after the pack thought he was going down hill. Farve almost got us to the SB, except for the cheatin Saints, (and a couple guys who couldn’t hold on to the ball.) If Jennings could out anywhere near as well as those two, take him in a heartbeat.

Really, Ponder can’t throw a deep ball? C’Mon man. He could easily throw to Mike Wallace. I’ve watched every viking game the last 2 years, and Ponder can throw it 50 in the air. I’ve seen it multiple times. Actually this year, he threw a 50 yard bomb that Devin Aromashadu flat dropped in the end zone.

He can throw it 50 yards but he doesn’t get the ball there nearly as fast as other QB’s. If a DB has a decent head about him, Ponder’s passes that are long, they give a DB time to adjust and get under it if he’s even remotely in position.

And Vikings fan – NO ONE is giving a first round pick for Harvin. Talk about overrating your talent…

How do you figure ‘the Dolphins were outbid by the Bucs last year for VJax’. The Dophins had ZERO cap space. They were neer serious players for VJax and to say they were is inaccurate.

The Vikes GM is sadly unaware that Ponder is his teams QB.
