I have seen it all with this team (plus what we should do for the rest of this season)
I became a fan of the Minnesota Vikings back in 2003,when we started the season 6-0,and haven't turned back since, and I have seen it all with this team,Good and Bad
I'm gonna start with the good first:
-Daunte Culpepper's 2004 season
-All of Adrian Peterson's great seasons so far
-All-Day's record breaking day against the Chargers back in 2007
-Brett Favre's GW throw to Greg Lewis back in 2009 against the 49ers
-Brett Favre's 2009 season
-Some great Offseason/Draft moves (K-Will,Fat Pat,Winfield,J.Allen,C.Taylor,Greenway,Sharper,Harvin,Hutch,Longwell and I think Robison has the potential to be a great DE one day)
- Back to Back NFC Titles (2008 and 2009)
Now on to the Bad:
-Nathan Poole's catch that knocked us out of the playoffs on the last day on the 2003 season,the same season where we started 6-0,but finished 3-7 the rest of the season
-Moss' Moon Celebration (which IMO which led to him leaving the team a couple of months later)
-The Love Boat
-Daunte Culpepper's career-changing knee injury in 2005 (Really wasn't the same guy after that)
-The Brad Childress Era
-The Tarvaris Jackson Experiment
-The 2010 NFC Championship Game
-The 2010 Season all together
-Some horrible Offseason/Draft moves (Troy Williamson,Tyler Thigpen (I really think had he stayed here,we could have build him up),Bernard Berrian,Tyrell Johnson,Marcus McCauley,etc)
-The start to this season (3 blown halftime leads,horrible coaching,mental collapses, etc)
I still have love for these guys and for this team,but as you see, the Bad things outdo the good things here.
And now,what we should for the rest of this season
-Start Ponder-this is your #1 pick here,it's obvious McNabb is done at this point and won't do anything much accept fade in the 2nd half of games.Plus,we need to see if Ponder is our QBOTF or if we have the chance in April to do it,GET LUCK
-Cut Berrian,bring back Arceneaux-This is long overdue,maybe have Jenkins and Aromashodu be the starting 2 WRs and let be Percy be the Slot,it would lead to more 3 WR sets.
-Cut Tyrell Johnson,activate Mistral Raymond-Johnson is worthless at this point and can't even stay out of trouble off the field,I like this Raymond guy,can tackle and seems to have a great football mentality.
It's obvious there needs to be more changes for this team,but these are some changes I think need to happen,we ain't making the playoffs so I think it's time to look ahead and look to see what needs to be revisited next season.
so,what your thoughts on this?
