Outshined Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 from Profootball talk.com SIMS SOON TO BE DECLARED A BUST? In a recent interview with the Chiefs official web site, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham acknowledged that fourth-year defensive tackle Ryan Sims faces a make-or-break season. "He has to get better," said Cunningham. One member of the organization was a little more candid with us regarding Sims. "He sucks," said the source. On draft day 2002, the Chiefs pulled off a last-second trade with the Cowboys for the sixth overall pick, enabling the Chiefs to move in front of the Vikings at No. 7, who were poised to pounce on Sims. The Vikings were criticized for failing to submit their draft card with Sims name on it when the Cowboys' 15-minute window of opportunity expired as Dallas and K.C. continued to work on the terms of the two-spot flip-flop. A year later, the Vikings were trying to pull off a trade of their own from the seven hole, moving down with either the Ravens or Jaguars, both of whom wanted to lasso quarterback Fat Albert. The Vikes allowed the 15 minutes to expire, and the Jags and Panthers made their picks before the Vikings could put in the name of the guy they wanted -- defensive tackle Kevin Williams. The Vikings, of course, wouldn't have drafted Williams in 2003 if they'd gotten Sims in 2002. In hindsight, however, Sims is the bust and Williams is the budding superstar.

Rebellab Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Whoever wrote that is like me, a Viks fan to the utmost degree. I would have to say that putting a positvie spin on the Daft Day Debacle is really reaching. I stand behind the theory 100% though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Don't forget the karma that Baltimore reaped for their bungling of the trade - they ended up with superstar Kyle Boller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedroz13 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 You won't be saying that this time next year. 853395[/snapback] What kind of numbers does Boller have to put up for him to not be a bust ? He has sucked for two years now, you have to admit that. I'm not talking wins or losses, because that defense is sick and Jamal carries the offense. Brian Billick said the same sh** in the off-season last year as he is this year, Boller is ready to take that next step, blah blah blah. I just don't see it personally.

Guggs Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Still, the fact remains that the Vikes were laughing stock 2 drafts in a row. :doah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 That's like saying you're happy you have brown shoes after you stepped in dog sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Whatever. Eddie Munster still claimed in those 2 drafts that the Vikings had THE best draft each of those years and they also received high marks this year. I'm pleased with the results.
