From reading reports, this is how I see it… you lose TJH, you lose BIRK, you lose SHARPER and we gain Rosenfels… he’s not capitalized for a reason. People can talk this guy up as much as they want. He still threw 6 TD’s and 10 INT’s last year… is that really who we want to say is our saving grace? All I can say is Chilly better convince Zigi to throw down some Benjamins or he really is the worthless P.O.S the Viking fans have been screaming about for the past 2 seasons. The loss of Birk kinda put me over the edge. Right now I am praying the Vikings back office have a plan in effect because right now they are scaring the crap out of me. It almost makes me want to stay over in the desert on deplooyment all of next season so I don’t have to watch the Vikings suffer because of Chilly and Zigi’s stupidity. I invite them to prove me wrong in labeling them as being stupid with their decisions thus far. In this situation I would love for them to be able to turn around and say you were wrong.

If the Vikings are really talking with Cutler, then put words into action. It’s about time we get a top notch QB right now. Cutler is still young, and has a cannon for an arm. I was unhappy about Housh’s decision and his comments about our players, it may backfire on him later on this season. I think Cutler can achieve greatness in a Vikings uniform if he gets his head on straight. Good WR’s are all over the league, but good QB’s are not. The Vikings main objective should be to get Cutler in a purple jersey as soon as possible. Other WR’s will be available in time. We need someone who can compliment Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen as team leaders. We then would utilize Sage as a good back-up .

The Vikings lost out to Seattle in their pursuit of free-agent receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh on Monday, but that didn’t mean all was quiet at Winter Park.
The Denver Post reported the Vikings are among the teams that have expressed interest in Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, and talks between the sides were believed to be ongoing Monday. It remains unclear what the Vikings might be offering.
The news broke three days after the Vikings completed a trade that sent a fourth-round draft pick to Houston for Sage Rosenfels. He and Tarvaris Jackson are expected to compete for the starting quarterback job, but neither is at the level of Cutler, a 2006 first-round pick who made his first Pro Bowl this past season. The Vikings made inquiries about Cutler’s availability at the NFL scouting combine last month.
Vikings coach Brad Childress was elusive when asked at Rosenfels’ introductory news conference whether the team would add a top-tier quarterback.
“Don’t know, I’m not clairvoyant,” Childress said.
Cutler, 25, and the Broncos have been at odds since reports surfaced over the weekend that the team was involved in talks with Tampa Bay and New England that would have sent Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel to Denver. That would have reunited Cassel with new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, who had served as New England’s offensive coordinator. Cassel ultimately was dealt to Kansas City.
Cutler, who also is being sought by Detroit, has reportedly refused to meet with the 32-year-old McDaniels in recent days. The Broncos have attempted to downplay the trade reports.
“We don’t want to trade Jay,” McDaniels told the Post. “We never did. He’s our quarterback.”
