I still am not in love with the A Peterson pickAre you kidding? You either have to be or are in blind love with Brady Quinn. I think if Williamson had a decent qb to throw him the ball, he would have been a little better off. Speed is his biggest asset and with soft tossing Brad Johnson and Tavaris Jackson, there was no way for him to utilize it. Was he worth a 7th overall? No...but he could have been better.
All that said, we have to get a Qb. By the time Jackson is "ready", our defense will be old and we'll have to rebuild it. After watching the end of last year, I'm not sure Jackson will ever be "ready". He showed some promise, but he threw some of the worst passes I've ever seen a quarterback ever throw. After having two circus ringleaders as head coach, the Vikings had to bring in a disciplinarian in like "Mr. Noodle". He's definately putting a lot of faith in a really bad quarterback situation. If we can get Anderson, McNabb, or even someone halfway decent that can manage a game, the Vikings will be a top 4 team in the NFC. If not...then I guess Childress made his own bed and will have to live with his decisions...which will probably cost him his head coaching job.
I am sorry if I dont fall in love with a back that has not completed a whole season since high school... Vikes did not have to take Brady but they could have taken someone who actually fit a need they had... I am sure Peterson will have some more big games next year but they will again miss the playoffs because the Vikes were able to run the ball the year before they had peterson and now still all they can do is run the football....
And with Williams, I agree that troy had the potential to be decent but I am pissed because they turned a top 10 pick into a 6th round pick.... I surely cant blame him... I would not want to play for an organization that fines a guy for taking care of his family when there is a death....
