Koren Robinson conjures up...

memories of another player the Vikes took a chance on. I'm not saying Krob is anywhere near Mr. "All I do is catch touch downs', but you never know when you might find a diamond in the rough..

A chance worth taking

That echoes my Carter comparison from the other thread which was blasted.

Well when you said it, it was bullshit, but now it's reasonable. :lol: Just kidding Ultra, I agree w/you.

Rum and Coke wasn't taken for $100.

Rum and Coke gets 2 mil. I hope Rum and Coke's contract is totally incentive based. A guy has to want to change and if he truely does, he can make it back to playing some good FootBall.

I never want a guy to fail, especially a Viking. All I am saying he has to get out there and prove it and show himself that he wants to play again.

Carter was down and out, signed for nothing, his career was on the line and he didn't want it to end because he was a competitor. We will see what kind of character K-Rob has.

Come On K-Rob prove your critics wrong. Hopefully we provide a good support system for him.

It's amazing how views of a person changes when they're "on the team" vs. "off the team".

Moss is a Cancer and K Robinson is the next Chris Carter. :shock: WTF is up with some of you? :scratch:

well, we got rid of kelly campell, and in exchange got koren robinson.

so we swapped players with equallably bad off the field issues, but we got one with better ability.

upgrade. :grin:

For me it is that Moss did things like:

"Mooned crowd"- on the field :twisted:
Walked off the field without going in for the hail mary- sort of on the field :lol: :sad:
Barely jogged on some plays when he got upset or wasn't being thrown to-on the field :sad:
"I play when I want to pay"-right in front of his teammates :sad:
squirted ref during game-on the field :sad:

He had more than "off the field issues".

What Koren did was make one big mistake, alchohal addiction. If Moss' only issue was alchaholism, and he passed re-hab succesfully, nobody would have a problem with him (me included). But he kept doing these things during games, and hurt team chemistry, which hurt the team, and that is true.

Koren has worked hard to re-establish himself as a good mature person like he used to be. I respect him for that. He is a great WR who tripped in his football career, he got back up, and is looking to thank the Vikings for what they have done for him. I wish him the best on this team.

koreen has messed up many, many times... hes had several chances... my opinion koreen = randy with half the talent and twice the problems... hope the kid *really* straightens up this time though.
