The weekly quarterback question has been answered in Minnesota, and it’s the old guy again.

Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press that he’d be starting this week against the Ravens.

Cassel was perfectly acceptable in Sunday’s win against the Bears, and has played in all three of their wins this season.

The fact that there are only three wins kind of makes the question of a week-to-week starter kind of a moot one, since it ought to be somebody else next year.

But it’s becoming clear they’re not comfortable running Josh Freeman out there again, which only adds to the importance of finding a new one this offseason.
