2020 Vikings Small News Thread (News of players with no threads)

[VCU4LIFEGOVIKS]

I'm not real sure who to blame is...is it Rodgers or is it the Packers organization? I suppose it could be a little bit of both but he had chances yesterday.

2 Super Bowls with 2 HOF QB's (1 being arguably the greatest statistical QB in history) in all honesty is pretty ******. Now, of course it's easier said then done but the fact that Rex Grossman and now Tom Brady have just as many NFC Championships as Rodgers is a shame.

Is it? Is it really a shame?

If you look at the Packers draft picks from that draft. Then that's all you need to know😁😁

If all goes well, not only did the Packers lose, but maybe Erin forces his way out or retires.
Maybe there CAN be positives from this pandemic!

Maybe he forces his way to Minneapolis and we win it all next yr. Lol

Daronte Jones accepted the offer to become LSU's DC. Read a lot of good things about Jones so it sounds like this is a big loss for the Vikings. We'll now need a new DBs coach along with an OC and ST coach.

ha, I should have said an embarrassment. Because, I for one am not disappointed in it lol.

Sounds like this guys has got a very bright future. Might get HC jobs within a year or two from what I read. After seeing the development of Gladney and Dantzler it sucks to lose a guy like this.

^ Ben Leber has a really good interview with Kyle Rudolph. He asked Rudy if he would be willing to take a pay cut and he flat out said no. Rudy still thinks he can play at a high level and thinks he is worth every dime of his contract. This is looking like the year we move on from Rudy.

Rudy said all the right things for his future market. I think he knows that it's likely done in MN, which sucks, but it has to be done. We have two guys that are younger, cheaper, and have more upside in our offense.

The Vikings have treated their players great and with fairness imo. Rudy got a pretty nice contract extension a few years ago when some did not think it was warranted. With us having to cut cap space I just don't see any other way around it.

Love Rudy. He was a very good player at his peak, but he is massively overpaid now. He needs to go. Wouldn't even want him to restructure. Irv is miles better and needs to start, and I'd even prefer Conklin over him.

Yep agreed. Conklin & Smith excelled when it was just the two of them. Love Rudy and dude was a great Viking on and off the field.

[vikingsfan0845]

Keenan McCardell hired as the new WR coach. Sounds like current WR coach Andrew Janocko is going to become the QB coach, replacing Klint Kubiak when he becomes our new OC.

[vikingsfan0845]

Assistant special teams coach Ryan Ficken is being promoted to the full ST coach.

[pacofunk64]

Ok, don't know much about any of them outside of McCardell. I like that we aren't going to see a lot of different faces.
