After seeing how far off the hometown team is,I think it is only fitting to allow Adrian Petersen to move on.
I don’t see the hometown team anywhere close to getting a sniff of the Superbowl For 3-5 years.
Let him have a chance somewhere else, we might get lucky and find a QB with the extra draft choices he could bring.
The window for the rest of Adrian’s career, and the Vikings
chances of winning a Super Bowl are far apart.

You might as well shut the franchise down if you trade Peterson. They have a decent receiver core, good running game, zero quarterback and a fair o-line if they can do something with McKinney.
Defense will be OK if they can resign some guys. If you wanna let people go……………dump the secondary and go from there.
The main clog that needed to go is gone. He is still looking for a job. 
Besides……………it’s time for baseball. 
Your kidding right ?? We need a QB… and a couple Def player’s ??? We get a coach who seems to have his head on correct and you want to dismantle the team ?? Chilly knew talent, he just didn’t know what to do with it… I was encouraged watching the SB yesterday.. not the other way.. 
Ah Spring 
Looking into going to a spring training game.
Just one last FBall ?… who was the last Running back to be MVP of a Super bowl.
Might be the most overrated position on a team.

You maybe correct IF you are a throwing team such as the Packers.
Frazier came from Chicago where they had Walter Peyton………he WILL run the ball.
Best start thinking baseball Jeff…….that Baily’s took a toll. 
Think how different the season would have been this year if the refs hadnt blown 4 td calls @ Lambeau.
It doesnt take much to make or break a team in the NFL.
Packers earned everything they got. Tomlin didn’t make excuses and neither will I.
Besides……..this thread has zero to do with the Packers.

I would entertain that. He has 2-3 decent years left and then he’s 30. BUT, I also think that if we can sign a few guys and somehow get a QB that wont screw up things, we will compete for a sure.
I agree that a trade for Peterson might be worth entertaining. The Vikings will not win the Super Bowl next year, so they are better off getting some good prospects to help them in the future.
Two years ago was the year, and they blew it. Now its time for them to suck for a few years and do some rebuilding.
Um, me thinks going into a season with no quarterback and no running back might not be good for Mr. Frazier’s future.
Maybe trade Rice and Harvin to the Steelers? Might get a couple of draft choices to help your rebuilding.
Time for baseball. Peoples football minds are turning to mush. 
I love the trading Rice IDea. I do NOT think he is the all star everyone makes him out to be. He had one good season and then bailed on his team a week before the season started. His value is very high right now, I’d dump his *ss for sure!

It,s not all that bad of an Idea, How much money can they commit to AP and then build around him.
It’s amost the Joe Maurer deal the twins are in.
It’s a small window.
Buy low and sell High

Can’t trade a guy your don’t have a contract with(Rice). Also, why would you trade your best playermaker that is young?(Harvin).
Trading Peterson is also a stupid move. Oh great, we get a late 1st or early 2nd round pick for him. What the hell is that worth? Trading a superstar in the NFL never gets you equal value.

Noone owes Peterson a thing. He gets paid a ton from us, we don’t need to trade him to give him his super bowl ring. If he wanted that he shouldn’t have fumbled the ball on the 2 yard line last year, then he would have had his shot.
Yeah, AP is done in another 2-3 years.. just like Tomlinson…. 
If your gonna trade, start with defensive players,(Allen) the Vikings can build a defense again (as proven) they struggle with an offense…
yo, they need to spend $ on linemen. If you can run the ball against a good team, the qb doesn’t have to be as good and there will be some moderately talented qb’s on the trading block this year. They traded one away this last fall.
Rice and Harvin have both been flakey.

I’d say we probly have the most expensive offensive line in the league.
The Vikings need to do a reverse of the Herschel Walker trade. That trade alone set the Vikings back 6-8 years and set up the Cowboys for years of Super Bowl contenders. Trade AP to the AFC.
This is the NFL! Do a few things right and you are in the playoffs and making a run again in a year or two. Teams should not stay bad long in this league and a trade of AP would be stupid. Problem is this team has had a history of bad choices weather it be trade or the draft. Although the draft has been productive as of late.
If the right offer was made, I would trade him.
I don’t see the vikings coming close to the superbowl in the next several years. That window has closed!
I guess I disagree a bit. The worst to 1st is very common now days in the NFL. It will be highly dependent if we can figure out an offensive scheme where McKinney and Loadholt can learn how to block. Fat Pat is done, we need a force in the middle of the Dline and we need another Griffin at corner. I also think we need a new center, Sullivan just isn’t Birk.
Sad when the core of both sides of the ball need that much fixin’. However, with the parity in the league now days, it can happen fast. 
It’s been forever since an NFC team repeated as conference champs. So the odds are against a GB team who on paper looks to get better just by getting injured players back next year. I think the sleeper could be Detroit, can’t overlook them anymore. Chicago’s D should still be good next year. The Norris should be black and blue all over again!
Because Favre finally retired ???? 
New talent comes into the league every year… why would you trade away half of your game ? The running game is a HUGE part of any team, look at GB.. when Starks finally started running, they started passing… it opens it up… trade AP and you might as well go start helping them pack for LA…
I don’t think AP should be traded just to get some draft picks. But, if the deal is right, picks plus a QB in waiting might be a smart move.
This team needs to re-load in some positions and mainly on both the D and O-line. It’s too bad we passed on all those draft picks last year that could now have a season under their belts.
ET
I for one think they “reloaded” in the right place already… Head Coach… I don’t think we should throw the baby out with the bath water…. oh wait…he retired… 
its one thing to have a good coach but players win games not coaches. prediction. GB and Detroit battling it out next year. Chicago and MN 2 of the worst records in the NFL. write that down. 
It will all depend on the free agents we pick up. Hopefully Carson Palmer becomes available to us.
Cripes, hopefully the union and management get their crap settled.
JaMarcus Russell
Donovan McNab
Vince Young
Rule those 3 OUT and and I’m good. I think Frazier will move away from the West Coast stuff. I’d rather have Webb (who can’t play either) then any of the 3 listed above.

Have you ever played the game ? A coach has just as much to do with a win or loss as the team… “who do you think calls the plays ?” Who do you thinks job it is to motivate his players and create an atmosphere for them to gel ? A player has to respect his coach, which we had none of with our previous coach… anybody can talk about next year, but your damn good at it, I will give you that…but you have run into the master button pusher, as I can see I have pushed yours prior 
dont worry vike fans the packers win the sb after getting rid of farve, and the jets go to back to back afc conf. championships after getting rid of farve, you’re up next, after the bears win it next year
