That's what I think of your comment.

couldn't get the super bowl one? lame.

[Ggskbpbz]

And you'd be the only Eagles fan. Just ask Moses. He'll tell you how great McNabb is.

And since have you seen me waiving the Eli flag?

i believe there was a thread where you were bitching about how eagles fans think very little of eli.

[Zptmsemk]

I've never understood the big to do over that. All it shows me is he's leaving it all out on the field. Conditioning issue? I don't think so.

it's easy to find fault. it's not like the guy played his entire high school, collegiate, and professional career in predominantly cold weather. 95 degrees and 100% humidity should be easy to overcome.

[Mmzmptvk]

How are the Vikings #4?

Anytime the Vikes get into the red zone you don't think Favre's gonna wanna throw????

Peterson's gonna lose some stats because of that. At least with TJack they knew they could just hand it off and count on AP to get the ball in.

Right and swayed Moses and several others of your ilk into putting Eli in your top 10 QBs in the league.

What I mean by not waiving the Eli flag is that I won't sit here and tell you he's an elite QB or that he is better than McNabb, but he isn't nearly bad as people say he is. Numbers don't tell the whole story. This season should tell us a lot about Eli. He has his money, but no Plax.

I don't think I ever put Eli in my top 10.

Maybe you didn't. But youre still a ¿¿¿¿.

I'm too hung over to debate.

Taylor is a legit starter? This is news to me.

You aren't paying attention if you don't think Chester Taylor is a legit starter.

[Alice_Medichi34]

You aren't paying attention if you don't think Chester Taylor is a legit starter.

No, no, I have been. A thousand yard season 3 years ago doesn't qualify someone as a "legit" starter. I think it has to do with Viking fans on S-B are homers.

[Breilopmil]

So says the guy stating a trio of RB's that includes a guy with 500 career rushing yards and a guy with a handful of carries in the NFL after a couple seasons.

Taylor would have 3 consecutive very good seasons if it weren't for AP.

And you can be ridiculous and say if he were good the Vikes wouldn't have drafted AP, but AP is the type of player you don't pass on in the draft.

Similar to when the Vikes had one of the best receiving duos in the league and still drafted Randy Moss.

Yes, so says the guy with a trio of RBs running behind the best OL in the NFL on the team with one the best run games in football last year. I didn't say they where they should be ranked or make some bogus claim... like Chester Taylor is a legit starter in the league.

Taylor would have 3 consecutive very good seasons if it weren't for AP.

Oh, well, that settles it. Taylor would have had 3 good seasons. How stupid of me. So do 'would have seasons' get added to his stats? Or does Taylor just go straight to Canton?

And you can be ridiculous and say if he were good the Vikes wouldn't have drafted AP, but AP is the type of player you don't pass on in the draft.

Six other teams passed on him. Obviously a smart decision on the Vikes part, but considering AD's injury history and Chester 'Jim Brown resurrected' Taylor, would it have surprised you if the Vikes had passed on him?

Who a 10 year vet (Carter) and Robert Tate? Moss fell to the Vikes, like the AD selection, their wasn't much strategy involved in that pick.

The Vikings had Cris Carter, someone who became arguably one of the best receivers in NFL history, as well as Jake Reed, who prior to Moss being drafted, only had five consecutive thousand yard receiving seasons.

I guess you make a good point though. I can see why, after your receiving tandem sets an NFL record for consecutive thousand yard seasons as a tandem, you'd think that those receivers aren't very good.

For what it's worth, at the time, Tate was somewhere around 4th/5th receiver on the squad.

WRs so good, they didn't see the need to make the playoffs.

And I forgot all about Jake Reed. Tate just seemed like he was around forever.

Correct you are.

Especially since the Vikings made the playoffs 5 of 6 years between 92-97... Including a 1997 wild card game where the Vikings, down 13-22 with 90 seconds left, beat the Giants 23-22.

I can see where you'd come up with the insinuation that the Vikings weren't making the playoffs. Must've slipped my mind.

Hmm my bad. I didn't bother to look up the Vikes playoff appearances in the 90s since they were pretty forgettable outside of their 15-1 season. Do you remember how that one ended?

Either way, Chester Taylor is not a legit starter.

Jim Brown resurrected? I'd compare him more to Emmitt Smith. That's quite a fucking leap you are making from the claim he is a legit starter to Jim Brown.

Would I have been surprised if the Vikes passed on AP? Absolutely not. Taylor played fantastically the year before and considering the previous year they drafted Williamson, I wouldn't put anything past the Vikes during the draft.

Say what you will, but Taylor arguably the best backup in the league and could start for a good number of teams in the league.

[blackjackblax]

Taylor is a fine backup, not best. But legit starter he is not.
