I dont think we need Koren's uncorrected problems....but I hope those Chargers dont get him...He and PRivers lit it up together in college

The Vikes have released their talented, but addiction-prone wide receiver. I have always like this kid. Last season he showed some real flashes.

I know he has a problem with the bottle. But so do a lot of NFL players, more than we know. I am surprised the Vikes just released him outright.

Robinson has a potent blend of size and speed (6-1, 205). I like the idea of possibly having him lineup opposite Moss. Who would you cover then?

are you kidding me.......we dont need another wr.............he needs a rehab...the guys does have talent......right now he needs help

*sigh*

1. Why do we need another receiver?

2. Why is it that every headcase and locker room cancer in the NFL is considered a good pickup by some Raider fans? Are you really enjoying Jerry Porter's stay that much? D-Russ? Marinovich? Need I go on?

It really is ridiculous, isn't it?

We have enough WR on our team as it is, even if and when we get rid of Porter we have talented young guys who dont even get playing time in Morant and Buchanon, so any wr at this point we wont need or even look at I would think.

We used to specialize in reviving the careers of players like him. I think the Vikes over-reacted just releasing him outright. I think they were embarrased by the Love Boat incident last season and are just very sensitive. Robinson has talent.

During the Viking/Raider game they said it was Robinsons 3rd substance abuse violation which by NFL rule carries a 1 year suspension just like Ricky Williams.

Why in the hell would we trade one bum for another bum? Except out of the two, Koren is the worse bum. The guy is facing a year's suspension. He won't be playing football for anybody. Probably, never again.
