Could be worse like a Henry ruggs situation. But yes, not good. He’s done nothing to impress me so far. Came off cocky on draft night and injured most of training so far.Well, he's off to a great start
Damn must be a pretty good car to run 140. Luckily he wasn't drinking though the timing is right for that.
That's the kind of speed the Vikes have been looking for on their team, right?
Think of the receivers we’ve drafted in the last 20 years based on speed. Ouch.
His dog made him do it. The dog was sick? So he leaves the dog at home, and was racing around the Twin Cities at 140 mph. At 3 am. I wonder if the play book got lost yet?
Based on the "Quarterback" series on Netflix, he needs to learn to protect himself a little better.

Anyone else watch the game last night? Hard to have too many takeaways, because almost none of the starters played at all. But,
- Chandler looked pretty good at RB. Very versatile. Caught several passes as well.
-Kene continues to be hurt and isn't playing. His chances at landing the #2 RB have to be almost gone, and at this point, there's a good chance he doesn't make it to the 53 man roster
-Cine looked pretty good. Made some very aggressive plays and tackles. Hoping he can take a step
-Addison had a great toe drag catch, going out of bounds, that was ruled incomplete. Minnesota should have challenged it, because replay showed he was in.
- Jaren Hall looked like a day 3 rookie QB. He didn't get a ton of protection, but he seems like a guy they'll try to stash on the practice squad.
-rookie CB, Blackmon looked pretty decent as well. He's very aggressive, and engages in a lot of hand fighting. He might draw some penalties until he figures out how to do it more subtly, but he looks like he has a lot of talent

Chandler is definitely not afraid to lower the shoulder and draw a hit. I like the aggressiveness.
I think you're right about Kene as well. I feel bad for him, but it is what it is.
I doubt Kirk can win a SB, but he is underrated. He's been great the past two seasons in late game go-ahead drives, but the defense has been complete hot garbage.
In fact, I'm going to compare Kirk's postseason starts vs. a consensus top 5 franchise QB's postseason starts. They are shockingly close except for the performance of each QB's defense.
