Addict Angles: Just Saying, Jared
WE HAVE THE SAME RECORD AS THE VIKINGS NOW WAS ALL THAT MONEY FOR JARED WORTH IT? – long-time commenter randy5k
Great point, Rando. The Vikings spent a bajillion bucks on Jared Allen, yet they have the same crippling weakness the Chiefs have–shaky quarterback play. Honestly, the One Man Gang hasn’t really been any better than Turk McBride so far this season. 11 tackles and two sacks to 16 tackles and one forced fumble. I’m starting to think we made the right long-term choice for our football team.
i aint gonna lie when we traded him it really got to me i seen by far i best draft pick in recent years go out the door and seeing him struggling makes me feel at ease!!
September 28th, 2008 at 8:36 pmIts kinda like Derick Anderson. He had a stellar year and kinda faded. Although, I think JA is still a probowl level player. I also think we made the absolute right move trading him. And more thinking…I think it would be a mistake to continue moves like that and trade LJ. Just watching him today reinforced in me what an institution he is becoming in Kansas City. If he can stay healthy, he has a shot at some Tony G. longevity. Yah Yah I know hez a running back and I know the track record.
On a side note, how long do you think its gona take JA to get drunk and run a car into a chicken coop (killing many chickens) due to his lackluster season with the Vikings. (That dude made such a mistake saying the chiefs fans werent the greatest football fans in the universe)
September 29th, 2008 at 12:11 amSack leaders traditonally cannot follow up the following season, I hated to see Jared traded but had that in the back of my mind. A little soon to see since he accomplished last years feat with a two game suspension but Im confident its an accurate read for the rest of the season.
September 29th, 2008 at 7:15 amMinnesota has one of the nations highest rates of alcoholism due to the L-O-N-G winters… lets see how Jared the Purple gets in from the cold after that last game of the year, after he and management do all that second guessing.
