2 probs facing the Purple, #1: QB. #2 OL. First what's out there for a QB?:think2: McNabb & Leftwich IMHO. As a lifelong Vike fan I would love to see McNabb in a purple uniform. Is it doable? I don't know, but if it is, Itzy should spend whatever is required to make it happen. Let's hear from some other fans re. this one. As for the OL, it'll have to be thru the draft, I guess.
Maybe I was wrong on their cap space but I swear I heard they did not have the room to acquire anyone. Either way, here is some info from Rotoworld:
"
Coach Brad Childress was "noncommittal" when asked about Tarvaris Jackson's future with the Vikings following Sunday's playoff loss.
The Vikings probably never should've used Jackson so early in his career considering how raw he was coming out of Alabama State, but it's too late now. They'll have to upgrade the position in the offseason, and not with another Gus Frerotte-type signing. Jackson will return in 2009, the final year of his contract, but likely only to play behind someone like Jeff Garcia, Matt Cassel, Kurt Warner, Derek Anderson, or possibly even Brett Favre."
