Offseason Update: Minnesota Vikings

This is what I like about the Minnesota Vikings' offseason moves: They resisted the temptation to use the seventh overall pick of the draft on Brady Quinn, a quarterback who would need developing, and stuck to the plan of continuing to develop 2006 quarterback selection Tarvaris Jackson while also having him compete with Brooks Bollinger for the starting job.

Adding Adrian Peterson and releasing Fred Smoot means we had a great off season.
It's good to be back!!1

In the long run the difference between the time it would take to develop either QB probably wasn't different in terms of time, but I would have taken AP over any other player in the draft except CJ and maybe would have been a toss up.

Whether it was the right move to keep TJ over BQ will be evident in a few years when their potential is replaced with what they eventually develop into.
