Some good news for week 2?

I'm hearing conflicting stories about this.

 

Other places are saying they expect Manuel back week 1. Which is it?

 

 

It is if Manuel isn't ready.  They don't know yet.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Manuel is "on track" to return for the Patriots game. Marrone confirmed that he's "still hoping" that's the case, but the coaches have to get Tuel ready to start until Manuel proves healthy enough to play.

So far in Rivera's tenure we have generally played to the level of our opponent, so I'm not gonna get too excited.

 

Fair enough. But also during his tenure every year we have gotten slightly better. So that could be the edge now. Playing at that level and really gotten blown out by two teams. That is how I am looking at this. Getting better and maybe tipping the scales against the top tier teams.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
