Seriously?? Wes Welker is as effective as he is in large part of the space Randy creates. Our Welker may very well be Greg Camarillo that dude catches everything. With some space he can get us those third and threes.

I posted the angel picture being a smart ass. I know Randy has his issues and is no angel but I also thinks he gets more flak than he deserves. I don't want to rehash all of the incidents but in the grand scheme of the dumb **** a lot of players have done in the same period of time Randy is not even close to one of the worst.

From a football standpoint he is going to be motivated when he gets to Mn. He will be a big difference maker for the club this season. Which is all that the ownership is really looking for. If he ends up being a rental and they win then it is worth it.

He instantly changes how teams will scheme for this offense and instantly gives the Vikings way more options and makes them more dangerous.

Shades of Tarkington coming back from the Giants.

Yeah, I was joking. But at least Welker can throw a friggin' block. I don't think Moss has thrown one since his rookie season.

With AP in the backfield, he won't need to. The DB wouldn't be able to catch him. And even if he did, he'd get run over.

Seriously, though, this is a move the Vikes needed to make. They needed to add a playmaker who can stretch the field. A couple years ago, that was supposed to be Berrian, but who knows what the hell happened to him. It gives them a legitimately strong receiving core, especially when Rice comes back. Given the fact that they have one of the top 2 backs in the league, it makes the offense EXTREMELY dangerous. Load up to stop one, and you still have to deal with the other. Great move for the Vikes, and the fanbase here still loves him and is very glad he's back "home".

As for his issues, well, he has less baggage than a lot of other players out there. He hasn't been arrested and spent time in jail, no DUIs, is not in the league substance abuse program, and generally keeps to himself in the offseason (from what I've read and heard) and isn't out there hitting the clubs and doing things like shooting himself in the leg. Given the skills he brings to the table and what the Vikings needed, I'll deal with his baggage and overlook a lot of it. From everything I can recall, his tantrums have not directly lost a game for any of the teams he's played for.

No doubt. Still not generally his role. He is kind of the continuation of Chris Carter. All he does is catch touchdown which is what the Vikings need. This sets it up so either Randy or AP is going to get you for big plays. You focus to stop one the other will get you.

I have been a Vikings for to long to get my hopes to high but this could be a season changer.

I've been a Vikes fan since I was a kid. I remember Tarkenton's second stint in Purple. I got my hopes up in the Culpepper/Moss era when they set the single-season scoring record, then got destroyed in the playoffs by the Giants.
I got excited last year, even though I think Favre is the Anti-Christ. I'm still annoyed about the Saints phantom TD in the NFC title game.
I've gotten used to disappointment. My Vikes could screw things up with Jesus under center and Buddha lead blocking.
Having said that, they're going to embarass the Cowgirls.

The scoring record was 1998, the 15-1 season. I was at the NFC title game. That was the quietest I've ever heard 65000 people. VERY disheartening. I still blame Billick's playcalling for costing them that game.

Last year hurt, as well. Another game that they were on the brink.

I may end up disappointed every year, but I will not stop being a fan or cheering for them.

Great post. Was not quite an embarrassment but I'll take it.
