    Did I mention they're prospects this year in the NFL are exactly the opposite of ours?

    They got Keenum on March 31 of this year which makes the Vikings look smart right now and us stupid. When Bradford went down the Vikings had an experienced QB in the well. When Rodgers went down we had two backup QB's neither of whom had played a down in the NFL.
    You are looking at this situation with 20/20 hindsight. I have a feeling a lot of folks like you who are now blasting TT for not shoring up our back up QB situation would have howled about him spending capital there and not getting a FA to bolster our TE and DL positions.

    Not me. I don't howl. TT and Stubby made a conscious decision to use greenhorns for backup QB's instead of Shaun Hill types. I'm thinking they should rethink that strategy for next year.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
