That doesn't really say to me that he didn't give a damn. It seemed like your previous post was implying that he refused to gain weight. The quote you grabbed appears to say that he was trying to get his weight up, but that if he wasn't playing football, he won't maintain that weight. I think we've all seen what Jordan Gross looks like now.

Do you have any quotes where the Vikings were dissatisfied with his effort or where he refused to gain the necessary weight?

I don't and I doubt they're out there, officially, though they might be.  I know this was the consensus of many Viking fans after lurking multiple Viking forums for a long time.

Gotcha. I wonder if that wasn't something that got created a la the KB weighing 280 pounds. When fans get upset at a player's performance, any statement another fan makes (even if a lie) seems to become truth and fans continue to drop those nuggets when discussing that player.

I sure hope so, because there was 4 years of legitimate frustration with Matt with the majority of their fans-and their fans are very forgiving/nice/used to misery.

I don't get the negative attitude towards the Matt Kalil. Of all the FA LT's available, he was the one with the highest ceiling, and most attainable. 

Bitch if you want, but Gettleman has done his best to not only get us a starting LT after Ohers concussion, but he got us a long term answer.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
