I know he was dreadful for the first few games, but has anyone else been delightfully surprised by the recent play of Shiancoe? He has made some big plays the past few weeks and has hung on to the ball. It's not enough to completely forget how he played last year and early on this year but it's a huge improvement. Same thing with Berrian, maybe it's the fact that we have a SEMI-capable QB playing.

Thats all true. i would agree with the stepped up play by shiancoe and berrian.
i still agree that we need a new quarterback...
anyone for JDB?

Only Gonzo lol, Booty is not ready for the NFL yet. He needs a couple more years of learning the system and picking up the speed of the NFL.
With Shiancoe finally performing it is good to see but i have been thinking about the offense trying to trade for Kellen Winslow but I have been Hesitant to say this because idk if he would be more of a problem with the team and office like he is in Cleveland. But I dont think it much of a problem right now because of Shaincoe performing the past couple weeks.

A talent like Winslow would be a great addition to the team, but he just sees to be the chad johnson of TE's, and that may be more trouble than it is worth. Plus, he is always injured. we would need to have a very dominate offensive leader who could keep him in check before we ever thought about going for him. plus, they would want a kings-ransom

If you put Booty in you are giving up on the season. As not good as he is Ferotte is easily your best option.

i still dont understand what your obsession is with JDB. He hasn't played at all. i don't get it.
damn i should become a better vikings fan because i sure as hell have never seen him play.
he wasn't even that good when he played at USC.
therefore justify why you think he is soooo great.

Rufus Alexander re-signed. lmao.
We are going up the creek without a paddle here.
Most of our best players' primes are right now and we don't have a quarterback to go with it. Childress really, really screwed this franchise with the Tarvaris debacle.
Nobody wants to sit and wait for a rookie QB to develop, but what choice do we really have? Does anyone want to throw loads of money at Matt Cassell?
At this point, I say we just draft the most pro-ready QB in round 1 and hope for the best. It's working for Atlanta..

I'd much rather find a quarterback with SOME experience than draft another rookie and wait two years. We most likely will not find the next Matt Ryan.

He is our only hope! We must all keep the faith. None of us know just how great he possibly could be!

viking update wrote an article on the 2009 free agent qbs and their take on them
http://min.scout.com/a.z?s=63&p=2&c=804428
Quarterbacks Who Are Considered Starters
Kurt Warner/Arizona Cardinals/UFA - Sources indicate that contract negotiations have been slow in getting Warner an extension but the team clearly doesn't trust Matt Leinart. If Warner continues to play well, look for the team to step up their effort to get Warner signed to a three-year deal.
Kerry Collins/Tennessee Titans/UFA - Things are going so well that it wouldn't be a surprise if they signed the veteran signal caller to an extension during the regular season.
Matt Cassel/New England Patriots/UFA - He's finally getting his shot to play and is starting to play better. Cassel could garner decent interest around the league next year if he continues to progress.
Jeff Garcia/Tampa Bay Buccaneers/UFA - The team hasn't shown much interest in getting him signed to a new deal but if they continue to win, Garcia could make it hard to management not to sign him. Tampa Bay also doesn't have a younger quarterback that's really ready to emerge as the starter at the position.
Others Who Could Find Interest For Backup Purposes
Chris Simms/Tennessee Titans/UFA
J.P. Losman/Buffalo Bills/UFA
Byron Leftwich/Pittsburgh Steelers/UFA
Rex Grossman/Chicago Bears/UFA
Kyle Boller/Baltimore Ravens/UFA
Luke McCown/Tampa Bay Buccaneers/UFA
David Carr/New York Giants/UFA
Patrick Ramsey/Denver Broncos/UFA
Brooks Bollinger/Dallas Cowboys/UFA
Dan Orlovsky/Detroit Lions/UFA
Charlie Frye/Seattle Seahawks/UFA
Charlie Batch/Pittsburgh Steelers/UFA
Anthony Wright/New York Giants/UFA

Bad news. Jay Glazier on the Fox pregame just said Kevin & Pat Williams face suspensions due to the water pill issue that was announced earlier this week.

Yeah pretty much.
1. Kevin Williams
2. Pat Williams
3. Adrian Peterson
4. Jared Allen
5. Antonie Winfield
Thats the top 5 imo.
....I joked with a friend saying The vikings will be the first team to ever lose on a bye...I think we just did it. If this is true.

PAT, KEVIN WILLIAMS HAD POSITIVE DIURETICS RESULTS, TOO
Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2008, 12:22 p.m. EDT
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the list of players who tested positive for a banned diuretic include both of the Vikings’ starting defensive tackles, Pat and Kevin Williams.
If the suspensions ultimately are upheld, the Vikings would be without the services of both players for four games. And that would decimate the Vikings’ run defense.
Glazer also reports that Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jackson is one of the names on the list.
The release of these names further highlights concerns that league sources are leaking confidential information regarding appeals that have not been finalized. Attorney David Cornwell, who reportedly will be representing some of the affected players, has recently made an aggressive call for measures aimed at ensuring that reporters don’t disclose this confidential information without also disclosing the source.
