The only QB they should consider at #12 would come into the NFL with a chip on his shoulder and light a fire under the Vikings. Imagine how could Philip Rivers would be on the Viking roster, Mallett could be just as good.

Ryan Mallett #15 Viking jerseys would be in top 10 in the NFL for quarterbacks in three years.

Otherwise, they already have Joe Webb and Jake Locker isn’t the 12th best player.
I vote No on Newton.

I had a figured someone was going to throw Brady out thier and you know what BB is a hell of a coach and he made Cassell look great, but he is one of those rare coaches.

Yup. The guy who went 36-44 in 5 years in Cleveland while going through Bernie Kosar, Mike Tomczak, and Vinnie Testaverde? Now, If you were a Jets fan, would you have been calling Belichick a genius when the Pats hired him? Just a little nugget for you to keep in mind….

I would really hope those guys can play QB, because of ALL of them, but ONE wasn’t picked in the first 11 picks of the draft, 3 of 5 were picked in the top FIVE. They need to be good no matter what kind of coach they had.

You mean like Rich Campbell and Jerry Tagge?

I don’t know much about coach Frazier, but I’m going to talk out my arse and spew my completely biased and baseless opinion anyway.

No actually my opinion is based on the fact that Frazier is a defense minded coach, so I think its going to be tougher for him to do it. Lewis/Palmer, Phillips/Romo.

They don’t improve much if ever, and it takes a certain type of coach to develop a QB and the Vikings rarely if ever had one.

If the Vikings go by what they do best they should trade for Kolb, because they stink at drafting QBs and grooming them. I don’t know much about coach Frazier, but my guess is he isn’t going to be the guy to change that either.

Actually, they traded Sage AND a punt returner for a 5th-round pick. Chilly was so desperate to get rid of Sage Rosenfels on a bed of rice pilaf that he had to throw in a good PR just to get a draft pick.

he came in for mop up duty his first two years and threw a couple pics. and he threw 4 hail mary pics last season, plus the last game against dallas we rested all our starters and played kolb vs dallas first team, he obviouls played poorly in that game. so his stats look bad.

but go back and look at his stats for the games he started and finished, exclude the dallas game. he never got the chance to practice with the starters except for three games. he started and finished 6 games and played well in all but aginast tennesse in the wind. he won 2 offensive player of the week awards out of 6 starts.

at this point in his career he has 1 more 300 yard passing game than mike vick and kolb only , im not bashing vick at all, just stating kolb isnat as bad as some may think. you give this guy time to practice with teh first team and SHOULD be a very good qb

Dynex, hah! I’m partial to the 22″ Phillips…

A lot of thumbs down, but your post was about as factual as it gets. Sage was a winner & could/did definitely produce.

They will need to be at #6 to get a QB. Carolina WILL NOT draft Newton, Buffalo WILL NOT draft a QB. I’m curious everyones fascination with giving Buffalo a QB when Fitzpatrick has done damn good A, & B, he has shown that what he did is no fluke from his PT in Cincy & St. Louis. His numbers with those other franchises are by no means even good, but they are about what most could expect from a 2nd/3rd string guy who gets thrown in on a team with no OL or offensive weapons. Buffalo needs to & likely will look at either defensive line, cornerback, or WR with the #3 pick. Dareus is a perfect 5 tech end for the 34 D.

First off the board is going to be Gabbert to Arizona. If they don’t grab Cam at 6 in a trade up scenario, SF, Tennessee, Washington are all candidates in front of them to go QB.

To get to 6 with Cleveland, they will need to give up #12, #44, & either a player or a future pick (not talking a great prospect or big productive player, but possibly an OL or DL prospect where the Vikings may be deep or comfortable).

I believe the proper course, assuming they don’t trade down, would be to take a LT (Solder?) and move McKinnie to RG. If, then, Mallet or Locker is still available when they pick in the 2nd, take them, otherwise look to addressing other problems. DT, S, and WR come to mind…. Then, since the Eagles say they want to trade him after the draft, see if they can’t get him for a combo of lower picks or a conditional one that would safegaurd them from giving up a high pick for a failed QB.

Terrible team, terrible city, terrible fans, terrible coach, terrible players, terrible stadium, wait, let me check… yep, still terrible stadium…

i hear ya on giving Webb a shot but i beg to differ on this years class….I think Mallet/Ponder and maybe even Locker will have good careers…one thing to keep in mind about the 2012 Luck Lotto…no guarantees he does not suffer some crazy injury next year….

i like Mallet and if Webb doesn’t work switch him to WR and let Mallet throw to him…

vikings could draft a QB they want to develop… although that’s never been their strength.

Go Vikes!
