You know, the only thing that sucks about this is that knowing the way they have played our personnel this just means DJ losing snaps.  Torrey Smith needs to cheer from the sidelines and let the young guys eat. He is a liability, and we need Moore to get going.

Hopefully this will decrease Torrey’s snaps and not effect DJ’s.

Love you man, but Samuel has not been able to be available.  At all.  Sad.

And Yes, no indication he would be injury prone but NFL is different.

 

The kid isn't injury prone, he's unlucky prone, Byrd is injury prone.

As a Penn State fan who watched Samuel all of his college career I don’t think he is anywhere near as fragile as Byrd.  He took all kinds of hits and bounced right up.  I think besides the hamstring have been just odd fluke things.  I will go out on a limb and say that while his start of his Panthers career hasn’t been stellar we will all forget about that real soon. He is by far our best option at creating separation on the team right now.  And he will have many productive years going forward. 

We really need his speed right now. Hopefully by the end of the season it will be Moore, Samuel, and Wright as our starters.  That would be great going into the post season. 

Funchess has just not impressed so far.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
