Kick Ass Offense

Brad Childress a few years back called said the Vikings had a "kick ass offense." At the time we had Brad Johnson, Chester Taylor, and Marcus Robinson as our QB, RB, and WR. We still don't have much firepower at QB, but we have very explosive players at RB, and WR now.
We don't have much excitement with our sports teams around here. The Twins have a way of doing things that puts insomniacs to sleep. The Wild are about as fun to watch as a WNBA practice. And the Timberwolves, aww screw the Timberwolves. My point is we are flyover country. We are so reserved here in Minnesota.
But you can no longer call the Vikings boring. I love their first round pick today. We already have the best running back in the NFL, and now we've added an extremely versatile threat at wide receiver. This was so not expected from Brad Childress. So I will give him credit for thinking outside of his box. I know, I know, Percy Harvin has character issues. What 19,20, and 21 year old doesn't? Every single friend I had at that age had character issues, and we were broke. Throw in some money and fame, and saying we had character issues would have been being polite. So let's assume he'll keep his head on straight, and he has to, because since he failed a drug test at the combine that is strike one. But he has the potential to break plays the way AP does. I think he might have a game this year with like 3 catches 129 yards, 2 touchdowns, and a kickoff return for a touchdown. For years now the Vikings have not been a threat at all in the return game. That changed today. Some of the guys on TV compared him to Steve Smith. I'll take that.
If Childress can become creative, which is a major if. The Vikings should be fun to watch. They have players now that can take a broken play and find seams and gaps and turn it into something. I would love to see plays with Taylor, Peterson, and Harvin all in the game at the same time. We're going to go into the year with QB being our biggest question mark again. So if we can't get decent play out of that position, all of this is a mute point. At least it will be fun to watch. Remember what happened last time we drafted a receiver in the first round with character issues.
