Get him here to help teach T-jack for a year? Are you kidding me? You could give that kid ten years with Favre, Marino, Elway and Montana and you still come out with Junk. Two good games a year maybe and that's if all the cards fall right.

Watching and supposedly learning from the sidelines is overrated anyways. Aikman, both the Mannings, Montana, Roethlisberger among others never took an entire year off and look at the number of Super Bowl rings there. Big Ben took over for Maddox midseason, I doubt he learned much. The best QBs learn on the field. Not holding a clipboard.

But the best QB's have something to bring to the field!

Nuf said right there. I think free agency doesn't start until like the 27th, doesn't it??

How about Byron Leftwich??? He will be an unrestricted free agent in a couple of weeks. Probably not the best choice with his lightening fast release of the ball, but hadn't seen his name thrown in the mix yet.

Anyone on here really believe for even one second that the Vikes would bring in a QB the likes of Cassell or Brady? It just isn't going to happen.

I'm not saying Favre is going to be a saving grace, but he is the best option that the Vikes would truly consider.

40+ years of mediocrity with no end in sight.

The field isn't the best place for tjack to learn. That's pretty obvious.

Tjack has nothing in common with the quarterbacks you mentioned. Brees, Cutler, Favre, Brady, Romo, Rogers(sorry)and Rivers all sat and learned for one or more years. Throwing a guy in there when he clearly isn't ready is a death sentence for quarterbacks. Vince Young, David Carr,Ryan Leaf, Alex Smith come to mind. Tjack is/was a project that, to me anyway, has failed miserably. We reached for him in the draft and both he and chilly have been underwhelming, to say the least.

I guess I've given up on tjack and am down for us to put anybody on the field but him.

For the record the whole Favre deal wouldn't be my first option.

Not much out there in free agency QB wise. Mostly guys who are stop gap players. No quick fix quarterbacks out there.

I also don't think there is a QB we can draft and immediately start.

Hopefully tjack can figure it out this offseason. I have my doubts, but hey, I've been wrong before.

Oh, I know. He brings nothing to the table, and the guys I mentioned have talent. Look, Jackson was a Div II QB, I know it, you know it, we all know it. He says he transferred because he wasn't going to play. After watching him, I can see why.

Last year he completed only 50% of his passes with a QB Rating of 66.5. Not exactly "dynamic" in my book.

You are talking about Derek Anderson, right? 99% of his problems last season were in direct effect with the fact that Braylon Edwards forgot how to catch the ball between his Pro Bowl season and last year. Aside from Edwards, Winslows the only other decent option. I feel bad for any QB that has a WR that can't catch and a tight end as his 2 options. Not destined to put up great numbers in that scenario.

Zam you hit the nail on the head, Not only that when ISN'T Winslow injured at some point and time during a season?? No running game don't help any either. I will take Derek in a heartbeat over T-jack and roll that way. Draft another qb while we are at it, and a right guard and lets play!

If we could get Anderson for a mid round pick I think it would be worth a shot. At least there would be a good competition in camp. Anderson, at worst, would be able to manage the game better than tjack.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THE QUARTERBACK SITUATION!

Anderson got shafted...I watched him make tons of nice plays and throw the deep ball just for the wr's to drop most of them..alot of them were in the endzone...Anderson has one of the bigger arms for qb's in the league.

The team was playing like dung and they have a qb in the wings that cleveland wants to make love with.
