[size=13pt]Patrick Reusse: Berrian might be worth the bucks[/size]

Monday night's performance made it seem as if the Vikings made the right move in "overpaying" the wide receiver.

Good read. I was really happy with his performance on Monday Night. The first 100+ yard receiver in what 3 years right? ( could be 2 )

I don't think we could sign him for less, it's how the market works.. there weren't a whole lot of good receivers out there.. so they can ask whatever they want. And if you want a good receiver you have to open your wallet.

Within the realm of the KAO it doesn't take much of a performance to stand out as a WR.

I can't stand the dropped passess, those are driving me crazy and he seems to do that at least once every game but since we inserted Gus Frerotte, Berrian has been solid. He's close to 300 yards in the past 3 games. Not to mention the PI calls he draws because of his deep threat ability. Those yards don't count but I keep them in mind. Berrian has tremendous ball skills and body control/adjustment. He does some things alot of WR's don't do.

He still not worth it. One good game is not work how ever many millions we gave him.

I say give it a year, 5 games is to little for me to form an opinion

we're not really in a position to be picky.
If we don't give him millions, we don't get that performance last week, and we likely lose that game.
Its not like we have a suitable replacement, we need him.
