OHHHH Nooooooooooo Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero · 31m The #Seahawks are signing former #Jaguars QB Jake Luton to the 53-man roster and releasing QB Sean Mannion, per sources. Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero · 25m As I mentioned on @nflnetwork , one logical landing spot for Sean Mannion is a return to the #Vikings, who kept only two QBs (Kirk Cousins and rookie Kellen Mond) on the 53 and have been looking for a veteran backup.

That would be gut-wrenching.

Why do you follow the Vikings, again? Yeah. I'm a pessimist. LMAO. [&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&o] I'm just pointing out the truth about Herndon. There are things to like about him, but there are red flags. Truth is not it. On any subject. You'll confer demi-god status on certain players and refute science to do so ... If you don't like a player ... there's no way to get an even-minded objective response out of you. Its a firehose of negativism. Defending APs fumble issue while attacking Herndon's fumble issue is just the latest unequivocal example. I have no particular problem with Herndon. I'm just pointing out the truth about him. Jets fans were happy to see him go. Hopefully he can revert back to his rookie form. In the past I have I very scientifically pointed out Peterson's fumbling wasn't nearly as bad as many on this board made it out to be. He's long gone and I don't care about him any more. Tell me the Vikings players that I don't like now or haven't liked over the last ten years that I didn't give an even minded objective response about. I'm prepared to wait until Hell freezes over for you to come up with who those players are. Um, I'll have to stretch way back for the incongruous 'me no-like' example ... Chris Herndon Even farther for the incongruous 'me yes-like' example ... Dillon Mitchell Insufferable in both directions. BS about Herndon. I just pointed out the negatives regarding him. I like him and hope for the very best. You won't be able to come up with one Vikings player out of the last 10 years that I didn't like and was unfair to. Not a chance. You got me on Dillon Mitchell. Since he never did anything my appreciation of his talent has been shown to be misguided. alright, alright I'm doing what I accuse you of doing which is bend the truth to pad an argument. I'll retreat. For now lol. Cool. Have I ever bent the truth to support an argument? Probably, but I try not to. I despise cherry picking stats to support an argument also.

quote: ORIGINAL: Tom Sykes That would be gut-wrenching. And typical. Zim loves his "veterans". Even if they aren't any good - or experienced. Mannion is 29 years old and has attempted 74 passes in his career. 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 4 FUM.

quote: ORIGINAL: Daniel Lee Young quote: ORIGINAL: kgdabom quote: ORIGINAL: Daniel Lee Young There is no reliable statistical evidence of Rudolph’s drop rate or drops at all.. The search for stats comes up with zero drops.. Which we all know, from years of watching, is not even close to true. i trust Pro Football reference the most. They had Rudolph with one drop in the last three years. I believe that to be accurate. Herndon with four in 2020. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RudoKy00.htm Y’all know it’s more than” just one drop,”, right? Selective memory.. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/vikings-te-kyle-rudolph-dropped-the-easiest-touchdown-of-his-life/ That was from 2015. Not the last three years. This drop will be "the exception that proves the rule" for Rudy's career.

. . Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin Are the Vikings comfortable w/ Kellen Mond as QB2 or will they add another? Zimmer: "Umm right now. We’ll see what happens in the next few days. Like I said everything is very fluid. "

The Darrisaw and Irv Smith injuries have been like a kick in the nutz. I legit thought we had a shot at winning it all this season. I no longer think that.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 2:30:12 PM)
. . "The Vikings made a trade with the New York Jets to acquire Chris Herndon yesterday, and today we have learned that they claimed tight end Ben Ellefson off of waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ellefson, a native of Hawley, Minnesota, played his college football at North Dakota State University and went undrafted in 2020. He spent last season on the Jaguars’ practice squad but was elevated to the active roster for several games. On the active roster, he caught one pass for ten yards." .

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 2:36:21 PM)
. . Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin To make room on the 53 after claiming TE Ben Ellefson, the Vikings released DE Jalyn Holmes.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 2:39:26 PM)
. . Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin The Vikings filled 14 of 16 spots on their PSQ: RB Ameer Abdullah OT Zack Bailey FB Jake Bargas LB Tuf Borland TE Zach Davidson S Myles Dorn OG Dakota Dozier OG Kyle Hinton WR Myron Mitchell CB Parry Nickerson WR Whop Philyor RB A.J. Rose, Jr. CB Tye Smith DE Kenny Willekes

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 2:41:33 PM)
. . Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin Not practicing today: Barr, Chisena, Mattison, Nwangwu, Metellus, Darrisaw, Herndon (not here yet, officially on the roster at 3 pm), Ellefson (not here either). Westbrook is changing to No. 12 and Herndon will take No. 89. Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin Vikings are going to scrimmage during practice today. Usually, scrimmages feature field goals and other special teams situations. There is no long snapper on the roster currently, but PSQ TE Zach Davidson has long snapping ability. I believe Eric Kendricks does too.

Chris Tomasson @christomasson ·5m The #Vikings have released punter Britton Colquitt. It remains to be seen if he might end up coming back to the team in some manner. Sweet. No LS or P ... we going for it on every 4th down.

DavidAOlson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 4:22:22 PM)
And IR moves create 3 roster spots: TE Irv Smith RB Kene Nwangwu WR Dan Chisena These were obviously planned. So I wonder which three moves get undone.

I actually thought he did quite well in games 2 and three this preseason. I think he comes back now that 3 players went IR.

DavidAOlson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 5:40:03 PM)
Griffen & DePaola (LS) are back. Mannion watch...
