No poo! Who said that DWill wasn't the best back on the team (though some would argue JStew is the better back)?

You said Sutton is the reason, you wouldn't have paid DWill this offseason. Meaning you don't really care about the guy and would have been happy with a Stewart, Sutton, Fumbleson back field. While its still solid, its nowhere near as good as the scenario we're in now at running back. Thanks to , you know, resigning one of the best in the game.

Reading a bit much into what I said? I love DLo. I just don't love handing out that kindof dough to a 28 year old back, especially when there are very good backs still on the roster.

Besides, everyone knows where the Panthers are going to run their offense through this year

Perhaps I was. Deangelo is one of my favourite players in the league. And I shudder at any scenario where he's playing for anyone other than the Panthers. If paying him 20 mill guaranteed was what it took to prevent such a thing, I say so be it.

I still see DWill/Stewart being the focal point of the offense. They could really take the pressure off Cam this year.

11 months ago somebody wanted him

One might say that his 2010 stats were not as good as his '09 thus his value is diminished but the significant dropoff is only in the catagory of yards after catch, the rest are pretty even. Plus his '09 games were played primarily with Moore as QB in the late part of the season when the offense was playing well in all phases.

If the FO and HC decide that he is no longer a good fit for the team, why not try to get a late round pick out of him?

This NFC team was actually the Packers. They wanted Sut back. GB thought they could cut Sut and stash him on the practice squad but the Panthers claimed him off of waivers. Kindof like how Matt Moore was cut from Dallas.

    • 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.
