Childress has nothing to do with our historical QB stability...this has been a problem for our team even before I was born! Are you ready? Off the top of my head, a list of starting Quarterbacks going back to when I was a kid, NONE of whom have anything to do with Childress and NONE of whom did anything to help this team win a championship: Daunte (came close but was nothing without a healthy Randy Moss) Jeff George Warren Moon Randall Cunningham Brad Johnson Rich Gannon Gus Frerotte On top of this, scores of backups and streaky starters that never did anything for the passing game. The only person who ever gave this offense life was Randy Moss and now Adrian Peterson. I'm not contesting that Sargvaris Jackenfels is not the answer...I would just like fans to have a little more perspective on our history at this position. Chilly is not the problem...players who don't deliver are the problem. That being said, if this season is a bust we should absolutely fire the guy.
