#Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is rated as the 16th best quarterback for #Madden23.

yeah Madden ratings really prove something.

This website should rate posters for their ability to recognize sarcasm/satire, and then filter posts appropriately, for the posters own protection.

I really don't care what Madden thinks....or any other rating; as long as we win games this year and compete for the Trophy.

Print Sarcasm is often very hard to recognize. I thought there was likely sarcasm intended, but I wasn't going to assume it.

Ricky’s sarcasm was not the point … the validity of an opinion from Madden 23 was.

Booth and Ingram were among 31 players who reported to the Vikings' TCO Performance Center facility in Eagan on Sunday, marking the start of training camp. In addition to the 10 draft picks and nine undrafted rookies, 12 veterans also reported. That list includes quarterbacks Kirk Cousins, Sean Mannion, and Kellen Mond, tight ends Irv Smith Jr. and Johnny Mundt, and second-year players Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Jaylen Twyman.

Kudos to the vets that showed up.

Don’t be a heathen, Madden 23 is scripture to believers.

Boom! And just like that … standing in the shadow of training camp, the offseason drought comes to an end.

Expectations are sky high, led by Johanesen who’s going around waving his arms claiming that ST is going to be ‘adequate’ … towering high above ‘questionable’. Rein it in Bill.

I myself have a feeling its going to be a roller coaster season with lots of blood spilled in here, lots of guts laying about.

Time to start sharpening our sticks.

Ed Ingram still not showing up as signed on Spotrac despite Booth who supposedly signed after him showing as signed.

Edit: Finally showing him signed. I never consider it official until I see it on Spotrac.

The Vikings had the league's worst touchdown conversion rate on runs from inside the five-yard line, just 21%. 24 rushes yielded just five touchdowns.

I guess Connelly's torn ACL from last year is different from the one he suffered when with the Giants.

Nonetheless, with that injury history he is a keeper as Kwesi loves oft-injured players!

Sarcasm? Cause he hit the ground running signing injured free agents. Multiple injuries, recently recovered, still recovering... the spectrum. And he had no problem doing it in the draft.

There are exactly 0 players that have not been injured in some way in the past. Some can play through them. but there isn't an NFL player that isn't nursing something by week 5. So It's no stretch to sign a bunch of guys who at some point have been injured, because they all have. To say he loves injured players is just stupid.

LOL, it wasn't sarcasm on your part but... emotion! Who knew! Then again, you are not the most open-minded guy so that's no surprise. Star Trek, Spok really?

ANYWAY, guess you missed the correlation with Connelly and the signees. We're talking blown ACLs, necks, backs, and the like or did you miss that in the signing period? Not, no shit Sherlock run of the mill injuries that you stupidly use to make some stupid point (love the stupid reference).

BTW, Kwesi already has an agent so you can stand down. But do continue.

Kwesi passed on a 1st round WR in Williams that had recently been injured, traded back. Then traded up in the 2nd round for a CB (Booth Jr.) that had recently been injured.

Major FA signing was an oft injured Packer, Smith.
