I've already had Vikes fans tell me "You should be nice to us for the rest of the season"; whatever...if the do happen to win a few and we make it to the playoffs, I can guarantee that "they" will try to take the credit.
LMAO @us cats trying to find ways to rationalize cheering for a Vikings win without causing irreparable damage to our minds.
They'll win just enough so that they're out of contention for a great QB.has anyone mentioned them playing themselves out of a great spot in the draft?
I will openly cheer for them if they shut down favre for the year. But otherwise I dont want any help from that *sshole in making the playoffs.

And even if there is a great QB on the board, they'll probably pass on him, or trade down.
From everything I'm hearing, 1st round QBs are Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Ryan Mallet and Jacke Locker, in that order.I'm somewhat ignorant on College football, but is the best they can hope for Ricky Stanzi? And if so... how's his potential?
I agree.... but it sounds like Luck will be the #1 overall pick so the Vikes will not get him.From everything I'm hearing, 1st round QBs are Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Ryan Mallet and Jacke Locker, in that order.
I just don't want the Vikings getting Andrew Luck. That kid scares the **** out of me. IMHO the best QB to come out of the draft in a long time.
He has the arm strenght to make all the throws, is incredibly poised, a true leader, has played in a pro-style offense, and is incredibly though and can run with the ball.
Newton carried his team on his back every week. That team is under .500 without him.I agree.... but it sounds like Luck will be the #1 overall pick so the Vikes will not get him.
Locker might be #1-overall worthy too.
I'd like to see the Vikings end up with Cam Newton because, well, he fits their past:
Warren Moon
Randall Cunningham
Spergynn Wynn
Daunte Culpepper
Tarvarris Jackson
I think Newton is a poor-man's version of Vince Young. Stats are one thing, but Vince was sensational..... he put the team on his back and beat a USC team that was professional. Pro linebackers, DBs, Reggie Bush, Leinart, Steve Smith & Dwayne Jarrett....
Ryan Mallett reminds me of Ryan Leaf, or more accurate: Dan McGwire, who at 6-8, was drafted before Favre in the 1991 draft.
