Brad Childress Wants a Closer Look at Tim Tebow

Opinion is divided on Tim Tebow. Those who love him point out his fiery leadership ability, his athleticism, his grit and high moral character. Those on the anti-Tebow side argue that, though he was a brilliant college player, his skills aren’t the kind that would make for a great NFL quarterback. It is certainly up-in-the-air whether Tebow should be thought of as a legit QB prospect or a mere gimmick player who will never have a major impact in the pros.

Vikings Make Move to Bolster Running Back Corps. It Does Not Involve Brian Westbrook.

AUTHOR: | IN: Vikings | COMMENTS: 3 Comments

The Vikings‘ offensive depth took a big hit when Chester Taylor bolted to join Jay Cutler, Mike Martz and the Bears. Plan A for replacing Chester was to sign LaDainian Tomlinson, but in the end, LT preferred the Jets. Plan B for replacing Chester was…uh, sit around and wait for some other free agent to become available. Or possibly draft a running back.

It involved converting wide receiver/punt returner Darius Reynaud to running [...]
