I'm no Vikings fan, Oxbow6, but there was plenty of chatter that Bridgewater or Manziel would potentially be the #1 pick...to get him with a later pick isn't all that bad for the Vikings. The Packers didn't exactly pick Aaron Rodgers #1 overall, did they? And I still recall the hoots and howls from Packer Nation about how badly Ted Thompson treated Brett Favre. Flash forward a year or two and every Packer fan I know had done a complete 180 - 'Yea, that Brett Favre was a prima donna...I'm glad Ted told him to take a hike." Even the guy running the web site www.firetedthompson.com had to eat crow and posted an apology of his own.

Manziel will get along nicely with legendary Browns QBs Tim Couch, Brandon Weeden, and Brady Quinn...

9th round, 1992. Had a pretty respectable Vikings career...

Former Tech head coach Jamie Russell recently resigned his assistant position at Providence College to "pursue other opportunities"...

Yes, CC is a quality program with some recent national recognition. It's not a start-up project like Penn State or a reclamation project like Lake Superior State.

Gino Torretta? Tarvaris Jackson?

Brad Johnson?

Spot-on. Another 5-7 years of being an assistant and a certain Potulny might think he's the man for the Minnesota job...

I'm with you on Guentzel...I know our Gopher friends want to believe he'll stick around Minneapolis and wait out Lucia's next 5-7 years but I just don't see that happening if he's offered a head coaching gig.

The Vikings simply could not afford to pick another QB so high in the draft and see him become a bust. Manziel won't be the second coming of Bernie Kosar for Cleveland...he'll be Tim Couch 2.0.

Indeed they have. You thinking surprise pick?

Dark-horse Tom Serratore of Bemidji?

Guentzel...Guentzel...Guentzel...

Ed McMahon: HEY OH!

Seriously?

Fixed your post, Fetch.

Great...NOW you tell me.

Yea, that's an epic disaster.

Whew...I was worried for a second there...

So here's a question...is it still considered a "jersey foul" to put your own name and number on a jersey? I know plenty of friends who wouldn't dare get caught out in public with a Wild Gaborik or Boogaard jersey...you're the only player the team can't trade, right? Any thoughts on this?

ahem...

What name and number on the back?

I'd take a team full of Gostisbeheres myself...

Exactly what, jimdahl? Are you agreeing that fightingsioux4life is the SiouxSports.com "black sheep" or that political cheap shots need to be left out of the thread?
