The Minnesota Vikings made the playoffs last year after winning their division and going 10-6 and proved they are a team that could win. On the ground. Everybody knows Adrian Peterson rips up the league but can anybody tell me about Gus Frerotte? How about Tarvaris Jackson? Can either of those QB's even be called a starter? Last season Frerotte only threw for 2157 yards 12 TD's and 59% completion rendering the Vikings passing game completely ineffective. He also managed to throw more pics than touchdowns last year but on the ground they locked up the playoffs in a somewhat lowly division. That was short lived however seeing that they found the Eagles to be a tough enough challenge for them in the first game. Now they look a new direction to try and establish a legitimate passing attack that may win them a few more games in the season. On Friday the Vikings acquired QB Sage Rosenfels from the Houston Texans to possibly become the new starting quarterback. Rosenfels came to Minnesota for a fourth round pick and will be competing for his first starting role in the NFL. Rosenfels won only 2 of 5 games in Houston but assures the Vikings he will be ready to start. "I really worked my tail off to get to this point" Rosenfels said and with 8 years under his belt there is no question he should be ready. Just throwing more touchdowns than interceptions would be a start for the Vikings new passing game. Photo from http://www.nfl.com/
