| Brad Childress Fired |
|
Better late than never is what most Vikings fans are thinking. On Monday one day after the Vikings suffered a horrendous loss to the Packers, the Vikes let Chilly go, and will replace him with Leslie Frazier the defensive coordinator. The Vikings needed a change after starting this dismal season just 3 and 7, with for the most part the exact same players as last year. There were numerous reports of Vikings players getting into verbal conflicts, and really just having a lack of respect for Childress. When your starting QB does not talk with you, and the entire metrodome is chanting "FIRE CHILDRESS", maybe it was time to make a move.
Frazier's interview. Frazier takes over, if you can remember last summer he had multiple interviews with different teams to be there head coach. It looks like he will get his chance to do just that now.

Whats Next for the Vikings? With the hope of making the playoff completely shot down, should the vikes let Favre go? Favre who was one of the best QB's in the league last year, has come in this year and been plagued by turnovers. He is statistically in the top 3 for worst QB in the league with his league leading int's and fumbles his passer rating is 69.8. The only QB who has a worse QB rating is Matt Moore from Carolina with a 55.9 and he was benched for rookie Jimmy Clausen.
Favre is not going to do anything productive this year anymore, and i think the Vikes should look to play Webb and Jackson for the remainder of the year to see what they exactly have for potential QB's in house. Webb and Jackson have both been compared to young Michael Vick's and maybe Jackson has learned something after being Favre's understudy for 2 years. They are both mobile QB's something that has killed the Vikings defense in recent weeks, and something the Vikings offense desperately need. The O line has been terrible this year Peterson is getting hit as soon as he touches the ball, and Favre has had no time to make plays down the field. Who would you rather see Webb, Jackson, or Favre for the remainder of the year?
It was a nice sight to finally see Sidney Rice out one the field. Hopefully he will resign with the Vikes next year
I came across this and it is very interesting how Hank Baskett is making more than Adrian Peterson. Look at the money some of the Vikings are earning. The Pro Bowler Sidney Rice doesn't even make $500,000.

Peterson and Rice are still on their rookie contracts, which are front-loaded with their big signing bonuses to give the players some security if they flop.
ReplyDeleteI know but I thought it was still interesting to see how low some of our stars are getting paid this year. Man this year has been a disspointment
