bowe isnt anything special either. Tavaris Jackson sucks. I cant believe I have watched this whole game. His wideouts suck too. They have no ability to seperate from Dbacks and barely know their own route patterns. The Vikings are not fun to watch outside of peterson.
I stopped reading there.
good, get lost then. Bowe will be real good eventually, but he's just not a good fantasy option right now. PERIOD.
:) He is top 20 in PPR leagues and top 15 in non-PPR leagues, which makes him a solid starter in just about any league.
But not in those 6 team leagues that Hornet is playing in.C'mon! Get your facts straight!

 
I'm still trying to figure out why people want Holmcomb, Bollinger or anyone else other than TJ at QB this season.

Does TJ stink right now :rolleyes:

Do we need to tough it out this season to decide our move next season at QB?? :yes: :yes: and :yes:

#1.. They are not going Anywhere this year, no matter who is in at QB. The OL sucks at Pass protect and the WR's are inexperienced. Starting anyone other than TJ forces us to go into next season no better than we are right now at the QB position. There would still be question on what TJ could or could not do.

#2.. And this should probably be the #1 reason...The more they stink it up this year, the better the chances Viking fans everywhere get their wish and we get to wave :bye: :bye: to Childress.

The guy is not a NFL Coach and never will be. Hell, he wasn't even a true Offensive Coordinator.

Repeat after me, Snogger... "Andy was right."

yea, cause you were the only one talking about how long of a season it was going to be. ;) :wall: Yes, I thought the Running game and defense would be worth more wins than they have gotten. I disregarded the crap at Head coach. :wall:They have been in every game because of the Defense and the Running game. With the right coaching they easily could be 4-2, instead of 2-4.I'll admit my mistake of thinking the coach was smarter than the rock here>>> :goodposting:If you'll admit this team is more talented than you thought. (except at QB, where we can both agree the Vikes suck right now) :wall:

You really want me to go back and find the statements where you were teasing me for being a negative Nelly? I think you're downplaying how optomistic you sounded.

:popcorn:
I said at the beginning of the year that there was hope for next year. But honestly, it's not just the QB situation that's the problem now. The whole o-line, and particularly the right side, have underperformed. And the WRs are just not ready for prime time.The defensive front seven is fantastic although I'd still like to see a better pass rush. The corners, especially Griffin, are hot and cold. But the safeties are mediocre at best.

you are acting like I said they'd be a playoff team this year. :popcorn: I thought they'd have 6-7 wins.. Not exactly a :pickle: statement.

they are 3 inches away from being 3-3(FG in Detroit), and easily could be 4-2.

My mistake was thinking Childress learned a little more about coaching in the off season.

In that regard I will gladly wear the :bag:

you guys are clowns. look at the numbers.In Game 3:

21% of his catches occured.

33% of his receiving yards occured.

33% of his tds occured.

Now, i am not saying to take these numbers away because he did in fact earn them. But i want a more consistent option Week in and week out.

but hey, you guys are the experts. What do i know.

i'd like to see a percentage breakdown for the top 20 receivers.

i think you'll find that a lot (most) guys aren't putting up 100yds and a td every week. most guys will have up and down seasons. unless your name is Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Randy Moss (this season) or Torry Holy then you're not going to repeat the same #'s week in and week out.

id like to see the % breakdown too, but i just don't have thetime (atwork). My only point is that Bowe isn't a good fantasy option at this point, imo. People may jump down my throat about it but I want a more consistent guy. I mean, almost 35 percent of all his stats came in one big game. Not want i look for in my #2.

Vikings in market for a new starting QB?Monday, Oct 22, 2007 10:09 am EDTGetty ImagesThe talk in league circles after yet another subpar performance from Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is that the franchise plans to target another starting quarterback for 2008.Citing the sorces, Profootballtalk.com said the Vikings will explore all options, unrestricted free agency, restricted free agency (Derek Anderson, for example), the draft (including a trade up), and the trade market.Jackson has struggled badly, despite having a two-headed tailback tandem of Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson, which should be creating opportunities for Jackson to find open receivers down the field.Source: Profootballtalk.com
I'm guessing we don't have a shot at Ryan, but what do people think about Brohm or Woodson? I'd typically be more inclined to find a QB through FA, but I'm guessing Romo will sign with the Cowboys. Perhaps Anderson is the best remaining?
 
Tarvaris has a broken finger on his throwing hand. Just read it on Yahoo...don't have time to link it.
I don't know if this makes me sad or cheers me up.(Sad because I like TJ's effort, and I don't root for athletes to get hurt.)
:lmao: to the bold part... :lmao: on the report..

Might be the best way for Childress to get out of this :tfp: he created....

:lmao: "We had high hopes, but TJ broke a finger JUST WHEN HE WAS LEARNING :cry: :lmao:

Oh, well, there is always next year.. " :lmao:

Fans if Childress stays>>>>>> :bag:

the only positives Jackson has right now1) strong arm2) he can run when plays break downthat's it. this isn't college. the guy has to be a LOT more than a scrambler who can throw the odd bomb for a big play. he's just not ready to be an NFL QB. he's not. it's not just a coin flip type deal. he's just not an NFL QB. he's the kinda guy you would see as the #3 for a season or two... or who might get on the practice squad where the team talks about converting him to WR.he holds the ball too long, he has no accuracy, he doesn't have touch on the deep ball, they apparently don't trust him (6-19 today, at one point in the 3rd qtr he was 2-6 :unsure: ), he takes too many sacks, etc. it's a pretty long list.this isn't a case of "he has no support from his team".. this is a case of "he doesn't belong out there".
:blackdot: Beyond the numbers, he looks completely clueless out there, like he has no idea what he should be doing. How long has he been playing the position lifetime? It looks like it's the first time he's ever played QB every time he goes out there. The icing on the cake for me was that bizarre jump pump fake thing he did before he got sacked in the second half yesterday. I can't remember seeing any QB at any level pull something like that.If they want to stick with him the rest of the year, they seriously should run the wish bone. I know it doesn't really work in the NFL, but what they're doing now with their qb/offense (outside of getting the ball to Peterson) isn't working. That would at least have a chance at maximizing the "talent" they have on offense. Then get a real QB and install a real offense in the offseason. I don't think he'll ever be anywhere near a viable NFL QB, and even if he miraculously became one I can't imagine it happening with out multiple years of learning.
