I'll give Chris Weinke credit score for his upbeat mind-set even though he wasn't really much of the quarterback. After getting presented by way of the Panthers, the 34-year-old Minnesota native pretty much begged the Vikings to present him a shot.
"Please, please, allow me," Weinke described Wednesday from Charlotte, the 34-year-old Minnesota native pretty much begged the Vikings to present him a shot.N.C., when requested if he could well be enthusiastic about signing using the hometown team. "It could well be considered a perfect fit," he said.
Currently, the Vikings have two quarterbacks on their roster (Tarvaris Jackson, Brooks Bollinger), but desire to combine two more. I cannot feel i am crafting this, but Weinke is not even an upgrade to Brad Johnson, that is definitely seems nearly impossible.
None with this particular will likely matter, though, if Minnesota takes Brady Quinn with their seventh-overall pick. If that happens, Weinke, in all likelihood, would both be the team's 3rd quarterback, or presented just before the season. This assumes, of course, the Vikings A) hint Weinke, B) draft Quinn, and C) reduce Bollinger in favor of Weinke ... if they don't reduce Weinke in favor of Bollinger.
Bottom line: Minnesota's quarterback problem is presently a mess. If drafting Quinn sorts out that dilemma long-term, then the team has to make an effort to do it. inside the meantime, Vikings' enthusiasts will just need to offer using the chance of Brad Johnson's ghost haunting the sidelines inside the type of Chris Weinke for one a whole lot more season.
