My Vikes thoughts

Of course, I could have posted my thoughts underneath Naps' post. But I'm a greedy bastard. And in my wild blog life, I do what I want.
To me, the most gut-wrenching aspect of the Purple's crappy loss to the Eagles is that, for as close to a good team as the Vikes are, there's no easy fix.
As Naps pointed out there is one position that needs to change. I'm usually against pinning a loss or a season on one player or one position, but this is too damn blatant.
Sure, they can find a safety to replace Sharper or find a large orange cone to replace Ryan Cook.
But unlike any other sport, the NFL puts a massive amount of weight on one position. And that just happens to be the one position killing us.
So, it's only one position. You'd think that'd be an easy fix. However......
The free agent market is bare. The draft is a crapshoot. The cupboard is empty.
My Vikings boner is at an all-time low.
The Vikings need to sign a quarterback, any quarterback. I'm saying throw money at Joey Harrington, Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Gino Toretta, David Klinger. I don't care. I want new blood. I want to pretend like some QB is going to save us. Whether it's false hope or not, give me a damn quarterback, and not one who needs to sit and learn behind . . . TJoke? Gus?
I want a reason to belive in the Vikings next year. It should be a scary sign of things to come for the Vikings when you couldn't sell out your first home playoff game in forever (too lazy to look up exact date). It shows we don't believe.
So, triangle of authority, how are you going to make me believe?
