LOL.
Cassel is going to get big money probably in the 6-8 Millioin per year range and 5 or 6 years to boot. Personally I think that is too much of a gamble. Lets not forget Brady threw for 50 TD's last year in this offense.
I'm all for builing for the future but we are very close with this team and could contend with just a few pieces. So I would be happy with McNabb at a reduced price for a year or two...... Then again I wanted Favre, Garcia, Pennington and McNab before the season started so what do I know...LOL.

A well thought out and written post da_chise. My point was mainly about evaluating and drafting QB's. I think we can agree that the Vikes QB picks have not been...lets say...very good.
On the other hand, the Pack has had some pretty good QB picks...Lets see, in the past 10 or so years there was Hasselback, Brunnel, Nall and Rodgers. On the other hand, the Vikes drafted Tyler Thigpen, Tavaris Jackson,Daunte Cullpepper and Chad May.
Im not a bitter packer backer. We are doing about as well as I figured we would with a rookie QB. Its mainly do to other factors tho since Rodgers is having a pretty decent year.
I still say we give the Vikes a run for the Div Title. They have a way of getting something stuck in their throat around this time of year.

And how many games did these guys play for the Packers? I would believe that number would be ZERO! Hasselback only flourished because of Mike Holmgren, probably the reason he is playing QB in Seattle right now for Holmgren. Brunnel was nothing more than an average QB during his best seasons. Nall..........enough said. Rodgers is fairing pretty well and his numbers are decent enough. In a couple of years he will probably be a very good QB, but if you look at the what you put up for examples, the Packers have only developed one out of four. Not so good. The Packers might give the Vikings a run for the division, but then again, anyone might give them a run for the division. Same could be said if Chicago was in first, or if the packers were in first. Simply put, we are the weakest division in football. The Packers were/are FAR from being the best team the Vikings play all year. We still have some pretty tough games coming and the Packers just don't. They SHOULD win out the rest of their schedule, but if Airhead Aaron keeps melting down like he did last week, they can book some early vacations with their wives. Everyone thought the Packers were going to be the best team in the division by far, and how disappointed they must be. Guess it just goes to show when you lose your QB off of a 13-3 team, it hurts more than most want to admit. Of course, the Jets should be in the playoffs. Going from 13-3 to 5-7 with a pretty weak schedule is just plain ugly. Glad I'm not a Packer Fan.

I can't stand the Pack, but Rodgers is a fine QB. I would take a QB like him over what we have. I don't know that he's underperforming as much as the team he has around him is. The D is the same as last year and not playing anywhere near as well.
I don't want Vick, too much dramma with that putz. He's isn't a good QB either.

what about mike vick should he be out of the slammer pretty soon? Your right to 20 TDs thats underperforming for a guy who has never played a full season in the pros or more then 1 full game in the pros Whats Matt Ryan doing with far less talent and less NFL experience?
