This team is in need for a rebuild so bad that I hate it. We have been trying to put chrome on a moped and call it a harely for so long.
This team needs a good solid breakdown and rebuild in the worst way. I am tired of retooling.
I badly wanted a rebuild last offseason and today I feel even stronger it was the right call for last year. It might still be the right call for this offseason, but I'm less convinced it makes sense this year.
I still want a different direction at QB because I'm fairly convinced you either need a top 5 guy, or a cheap guy (rookie deal). But I also know the Vikings have a lot of talent. They have a lot of fans who are excited to come back and watch games, myself included. But there's also many long time season ticket holders who maybe realized last year-- hey, watching from home isn't so bad. Getting a lot of those people back into the stadium is going to be hard.
From a business sense I can see why they're trying to cobble together a contender. Even if that contender is only for the playoffs this season and not for the Super Bowl, as we'd all like.
I also am very happy with the Pat Peterson deal. It's not "high risk, high reward". To me it's medium risk, high reward.
