He looked like a beast in college. But he hasn't really panned out like some of us thought he would. I don't see him getting trade this off-season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone before September 2014.Eli wrote:And I'll never get over trading away a draft pick to move up and take Gerhart. He's been a solid back, but what they hell were they thinking when you can select solid running backs anywhere in the 4th round of any draft.
Lots of rumors swirling these days about the Vikings trading away Gerhart.

Re: The Vikings' 2012 Draft Class
Keeping Toby for 1-2 more years lets us draft elsewhere the next 1-2 years. Besides, he has very little wear an tear.
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

Re: The Vikings' 2012 Draft Class
No arguments there. And while he hasn't been spectacular, he's done absolutely everything asked of him while being given little opportunity to do more. But if you can get a draft choice for him this year, you can use it (or any of your other picks) to grab a running back. You won't have that luxury next year.headless_norseman wrote:Keeping Toby for 1-2 more years lets us draft elsewhere the next 1-2 years. Besides, he has very little wear an tear.
The Vikings might be happy to have him back after 2013, but he should know by now that he's not going to get many more opportunities in the future, either. Nor should he expect a very lucrative contract out of the Vikings, with Peterson making a billion dollars a year and Felton at over $2M.
