He could be, but I don't think he'll have an immediate impact like Moss did in his very first game and year for that matter. Hopefully he does though, that would mean we'd be doing great things.

Did the Vikings need another running back? Not necessarily, Chester Taylor had a productive 1,200 yard season a year ago, but Peterson is better than Taylor.

Hmm we will never know if hes better than taylor, I hope he is though so we can have a guy who lead our offense and now got a better person who can lead up to the playoffs.

In fact, he is probably the most talented running back to come out of the college ranks since Ladainian Tomlinson.

Wow I pray to god he is like LT

Why won't we know?
They will both be rushing behind the same OL this coming season...

Anyway, I liked this quote from the article:

For his career in 31 games he scored 41 touchdowns.

That's the kind of offensive output I am looking for!

Quite the bold statement.

I hope to God that is true, but those are some pretty big words.
Moss had one of the best if not the best rookie season ever, and should have been hoisting the Super Bowl MVP award that year.
Damn fate. >

Ain't that the truth Nodak!

Every article I read says that TJ is going to be the Vikes starting QB. I'm betting he isn't at the start of the season. I'd almost be willing to wager a small sum that Brooks Bollinger is the starter at the beginning of the season.
