I don't really care what we do about a veteran backup QB.

But I love your avatar and that's why I'm posting.

That's Jason Short from the 2004 season.
Guy was a special teams animal, but kept getting himself injured because he played like that constantly.
He's with the Browns now.
I have no idea who the Lions player is or whether he ever got up after that.

Holcomb
Passing

Bollinger

Our guess is that coach Brad Childress (and perhaps some folks in the front office who might be in jeopardy if owner Zygi Wilf decides to dump the coach) wants to have a solid Plan B in place in the event that Jackson can't cut it.

Pure speculation on PFT's part.
I quote directly from them...."Our guess is...".
That means they have absolutely zero inside information that the Vikings are even interested in a veteran QB, or Holcomb specifically.

I say, why send the Iggles a draft pick?
Either wait and sign him when he's cut (since he's not slated to be the starter, he will have plenty of time to come up to speed), or offer Drew Henson straight up for Holcomb (Iggles brass laugh, though Henson might be eligible for the Iggles PS where Holcomb would not be).

Here is a link to Holcomb's quote : http://vikings.scout.com/2/655760.html

Holcomb knows his days are numbered in Philly.
I would take him over Henson any day.
I like PFT's observation though.
Bollinger is a good in-game injury back up.
If he has to play a 5-7 game stretch for us, I don't think he's our best option.
For a 7th rounder of if he's cut, definitely bring him in.

I say BS. The entire offseason has passed and not a single veteran was looked at (no Schaub, Carr or Green) and now in the 11th hour, 2 weeks before training camp starts they are looking for a vet? No way.

I do believe the asking price was to high for Schaub.
I don't believe many teams were interested in Trent Green.
I don't see why they would have been anyway.
I think we should have made a play on Carr.
He had no line in Houston.
There is no telling if he could be good or not.

Can anyone say Daunte.

HELL FUCKING NO!!!

Is Dragon_Eagle really Kelly Holcomb undercover?
LOL

Or his AGENT?
Ha ha!

Anyone else notice that post-whoring by cajun. He could have easily edited his first post. 8)

**cajunvike** · 07-11-2007, 10:16 PM

And so could have you...POST WHORE!!!

**NDVikingFan66** · 07-11-2007, 10:55 PM

Of course they are going to report that.
My guess is they are not saying it publicly, but the vikes may be sitting back, keeping their mouths shut, and seeing what happens.

If Chilly is close with the folks in Philly still, maybe he has know for sometime that Holcomb is odd man out.

It is easy to write an article like that, and make those kinds of statements.
Bet you could say that about any team in the league about some position or another.
