Vikings Need McFadden

[wick]

Doesn't Minnesota's 5-0 record indicate the exact opposite of your claim? Clearly they actually don't need to improve the running game because what they have has worked so far.

The Vikings are riding high as arguably the best team in the league right now. Despite their terrible run of injuries, they're winning, and dominating. They don't 'need' anything.

Yes, I couldn't see them being willing to trade while they are unbeaten. Maybe if they start losing and the running game is pinpointed as the reason for it.

Griffen for McFadden.

 

[Joe Realist]

I said this when Peterson went down, now I say no as I don't want to hand them the Super Bowl.

We will keep Dmac with Dunbars injury now. Sunday we only had 2 RB'S dress.

Minnesota is a curious case, their " best" player AD/AP goes down and their starting qb has a season ending injury, and they actually get better.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Wish Minnesota had the old management still. We could get 7 players for McFadden.

For all the (well deserved) crap Mike Lynn gets for that trade, he was actually a pretty bright guy. Apparently, he just liked to screw over the Vikings. Case in point:

The Vikings are reportedly dead last in the NFL running the football. Granted trading him makes the Vikings more dangerous to us at playoff time, but if the compensation is right, trade McFaden after week 6.

And strengthen the very team they may have to beat in January?

I expect that McFadden will replace the once-again injured Dunbar - despite all of the offseason denials - or he'll end up being cut.

I see little value for him outside, and no room at the inn.

DMC does nothing to improve that team. McKinnon is the better back and its not even close. They have Asiata too.

Stop posting nonsense.

McKinnon has been awful. he is averaging 3.1 yards per carry with all of 1 TD.

DMC insults are stupid. He was a very good rusher her last year. We simply found a far better one, but it wasn't any freaking scrub McKinnon.

You keep DMC because he's 1 injury away from playing time here and you don't want to help a possible playoff foe for the mininal return you'd get for a partial season rental like DMC.

Like Leary, if you need to go to DMC, you know what he brings and it was pretty darn good.

McFadden and a third for Danielle Hunter.

Prediction: DMC is going to be traded and 80% of the posters here will be shocked by the return we get.

They have also played 5 of the toughest teams agaisnt the run.....NYG, CAR, GB, TEN. HOU

He can't play until Week 8 and that is the trade deadline....we'll see

Would be nice to get something for him, but I'm not holding my breath.

Cant help them for a few more weeks and dallas may need him by then.

They don't need McFadden, their RBs are more than adequate, they need an OL transplant.

 

[Plankton]

They already have four offensive starters on IR - isn't that enough without adding McFadden?

Eagles own the Vikings 1st round draft pick. I want the Vikings to win a lot of games.
