No matter which side your on (Kirk is fine, Kirk sucks) he's being a selfish prick and RS and MZ aren't helping us as fans. He's unvax'd and, IMO, it's going to be nearly impossible for him to not miss at least 1 game this year because of it. He just has to come in contact with someone who's had it and he's out, what, 5 days minimum? Given those "facts" our GM's answer to that was to bring back Mannion? Just forfeit the game and consider it another bye week to get healthy....[&o]

Draft a hurt OL that is still hurt, draft a QB that can't even be ready for emergency backup roll. Speilman and Zimmer I hope have their jobs on the line.

Who says the QB can't be ready for an emergency backup role? This move says more about Zim than it does about Mond. People complain that we didn't take Vera-Tucker, but overlook that he missed the entire preseason with an injury too. Let's see how a healthy Darrisaw does before we write off the pick.

A voice of reason, but Darrisaw not being able to practice/play has been like a kick in the nutz. I don't know about others, but I don't like being kicked in the nutz.

People complain that we didn't take Vera-Tucker, but overlook that he missed the entire preseason with an injury too. Let's see how a healthy Darrisaw does before we write off the pick. It's all true with the one distinction that Vera-Tucker got hurt post-draft and we took a player that may or may not be damaged goods. Its very possible our medical staff did an outstanding job prodding and eyeballing Darrisaw's groin area (!), maybe it was just undetectable at the time without actual surgery. However, dropping down from #14 to #23 and taking a player that other OL needy teams seemed to pass on ... like they might have had better intel. Its a conspiracy theory yes but ... it does feel a little dirty, know what I mean? It sounds like Darrisaw is close to practicing so all this hand-wringing will be moot. We all hope so. The Mond thing ... totally agree, writing him off now is a total panic move. I thought he looked too rough in preseason to pencil in as a #2 but I'd start him over Mannion. Rough, unpolished but showed some tools and grit to maybe get us over a short period.

Thanks for the complements. I usually feel like my descriptions are too odd to relate to. I appreciate it.

There is nothing this guy can do to be looked at as a leader of this football team - especially this football team. But keep throwing the two together, you do have an audience for it.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/3/2021 3:47:37 PM)
Cousins gets well deserved criticism for his unvaxxed status. Spielman though just backed up a brinks truck and paid the leader of our defense whom is also unvaxxed. So in no uncertain terms this regime, through it's actions, has moreorless sent the message that vax status is not important to them. Hence, the lowest vaxxed team in the league.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/3/2021 3:51:01 PM)
It sounds like Darrisaw is close to practicing so all this hand-wringing will be moot. I don't know. That wheel chair gave the look of a dude closer to being submitted to a nursing home than putting on the cleats.

That's how the media rolls. The latest procedure was like the second week of August ... with a 2 week recovery IF no setbacks. Who knows ... we can't trust the team for real info. Darrisaw has missed almost everything so it will be a slow process back. Not being IRd, as desperate as we are for roster spots, is a good sign.

Help the one(LT) with occasional chipping from TE and good play calls that don't leave him on an island too much.

The Vikings Territory article you refer to is dated Aug 27, 2021. The photo is attributed to the PioPresses' Chris Tomasson but not dated. The photo is not posted in Thomasson's feed but he did tweet this day before yesterday: 2:27 PM · Sep 1, 2021·Twitter Web App Chris Tomasson@christomasson Source says tackle Christian Darrisaw is doing much better as he works his way back from his groin injury and it won't be long before he starts practicing again. The #Vikings didn't put Darrisaw on IR today so there wasn't a belief he wouldn't be able to play in the first 3 games.
