Phenom guessed 54, but yeah, haven't heard from the others.

That's a good article Big O. We're already seeing the effects of having a rookie backup PG (how many seasons in a row do we have a rookie PG either starting or as a backup in the mix? It seems like every damn year we're breaking in someone at that position). Dunn has been incredibly inefficient as a PG - and I mean that in the broadest sense thus far. As the writer said, almost all rookie PGs are net negatives their first season.

He went on to make other good points. While most of us as fans would be super disappointed to see this team win only 37 or 38 games, that's really not a horrible year nor should it be totally unexpected.

Bottom line. I just don't trust this team. It seems like the Vikings, Wild, and Twins can get lucky, but this team takes hope and crushes it. I think we have a solid core, but I don't see anything coming easily for this franchise and we will take a few years for it all to come together. When it does come together it will be forged in steal and be force for years to come. Not a one hit wonder boy band.

That's dramatic stuff there Bleed. I like it!

Man my grammar sucks . "STEEL" and "BE A FORCE"

Q- That's a good article Big O. We're already seeing the effects of having a rookie backup PG (how many seasons in a row do we have a rookie PG either starting or as a backup in the mix?

Is it to early for "Dunn is a huge disappointment"? or how about "shoulda drafted Hield"?

If you watched Buddy's last game where he didn't score then what? :)

It really all depends on if he becomes a bust or not. It is nice to do it early. I was hoping he was drafted before we picked, but was not to sad when Bender didn't drop to us. I have not been paying to close of attention.
