You can't base your expectations for a player based on things from 3-5 years ago like Viking fans did with McNabb. Viking fans ignored Andy Reid, the Eagles fans, Mike Shanahan and the Redskins fans, who all said McNabb is washed up and I had to listen to Viking fans talk about a playoff run since McNabb was in the Pro Bowl, Super Bowl, blah, blah blah. I don't follow Urlacher at all, but when Bears fans say he's a shell of his former shelf, and no one protests Urlacher not being re-signed other than for sentimentality, I listen to them. There would be no point to going after Brian Urlacher other than to look like a laughing stock to the rest of the NFL. We've gained some major credibility around the league with our franchise since last December up through the signing of Jennings. Let's not blow it by going after someone in Al Davis fashion, since Urlacher has nothing left to give on the field.

You're welcome, but your sarcasm in calling me professor suggests you missed the more important lesson. You know, the one about simmering down?

I just realized you are somewhat new to the board. Seriously, no one meant to be a jerk. The "petigree" mistake just stood out and I couldn't keep myself from doing my day job! Sorry.

Welcome to the board. It's a good one, with really sharp posters and a good bunch of guys (and gals, welcome to you too Melanie ). I won't point out any more spelling or grammar issues, I promise. If there's a mistake and context doesn't make it obvious I might ask you to clarify, but other than that no worries.

Now, just as importantly: I have to think we're about to draft our future MLB in the 1st round. Pretty sure he's a Golden Domer. (Thus, no need for Urlacher).

MV711 wrote: No problem at all Texas Vike. We're all good. Seems like there are a lot of very good posters on this site as you have stated and I'm glad I found this site to post with some of my Viking brothers and sisters. I was on a couple of other sites for years and found them to be OK except for a couple of jerks here and there who were very opinionated and acted rather childish.

As far as a MLB, I personally don't care who we draft, as long as he can help the Vikings D and get us to the promise land SOON. Hopefully, whoever we draft will have the same leadership traits as Urlacher.

We are so weak at this position now, Urlacher couldn't be any worse than Cole or the newbee LB we drafted. Urlacher knows the system and has a ton of experience. If the price is right sign him up!!
