What Vikings Fans Are Saying...

Here are a few examples of that Minnesota Vikings fans are saying about this weekend's match against the Carolina Panthers.

From this message board ... 

On the matchup with the Panthers

Quote

I don't think Carolina stands a chance. Minnesota usually dominates against Cam Newton and this is their best unit yet. Their defense may present some problems, but I really don't see how the Panthers put up many points at all. If the Panthers win, then Olsen cheated.

Quote

If their practices are any indication, and if Kalil doesn't have help, it's going to be a long day for him.

Going to be a fun game to watch. Zim's defense has always have problems with running QBs. If the Panthers don't force Cam to be a pocket passer and just allow him to run and around create, the Vikings may be in big trouble.

For being one of the oldest choke artists in NFL history, they are awful cocky. They are having a good season, which could take a turn for the worse at any moment. You would think they would have learned that by now. 

 

Apparently Keenum is better than Newton 

Quote

Honestly, I can't think of any position that they are better than us besides their LBs and normally TE (if healthy). Olsen is a bit better than Rudolph, but he's also been injured all season so who knows how good he'll be assuming he plays. Keenum has definitely outperformed Cam this year as Cam's been turning it over quite a bit (11 ints and 6 fumbles).

Never mind that the Vikings have a legitimate offensive coordinator and receivers. That has nothing to do with Keenum's success. 

If Minnesota had Cam Newton they would cake walk through to a Superbowl victory this year, and it would not be close. Thankfully, they have a journeyman role player. 

 

On the Panthers linebackers

Thomas Davis isn't as good as he was a few years ago, but he is still better than any of our OLBs. Keuchly, meanwhile, is probably the best MLB in the game right now.

No argument here.

Agree on the Kalil part.  I feel like Shula was personally responsible for the Vikings loss last year.  Got out to a 10-0 lead and then didn't help at all on Griffen lining up wide of Remmers and just going right past him everytime.  Lord hope we've learned how to run screens and draws and flats and slants to back his ass up.  Bet not.

All my family is from MN and are mostly Vikings fans, though none of them really care as much about football as I do. Actually flying in for the game with one of them. Anyways, I've been to MN a ton and talked to a lot of Vikings fans and they are maybe the best fanbase I've been around. Not like the Eagles or Pats fans that I've been around extensively as well.

Uh, Keenum is playing better than Cam this year...coaching doesn't throw more than double INTs. More excuses and apologist for Cam to follow I am sure. There are Oline issue and WR issue but our defense is better than Keenums'. I have no problem looking objectively at this situation and stating the future number one playoff seed has a QB playing better THIS YEAR than Cam.

Cam has rushing stats but I see that has a knock to our team. Why the fug is he the leading rusher all the time. The Vikings are able to do with how it should be done, with their backs doing the rushing and getting the difficult yards.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
