seems rather premature, he has started all of 1 game. Maybe if his production meets expectations he will be in the running, but its really hard to put him in the conversation at the moment IMO. I am guessing that less than a quarter of the Vikings fans would recognize his face, let alone fans of other teams.

Yeah, the author definitely took a different approach...but, give him a 20 sack season, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and a Super Bowl MVP, he'll get there...

I didn't want to look like a homer.

This does beg the question as to who the face of the franchise will be with Peterson gone? Be nice if a QB could play the role. Been too long since that's happened.

Zimmer? Maybe, probably is the guy for now.

Cook? Yah, I could see that too.

Why does the franchise need a face? Zim does the talking on the important stuff and we have plenty of players that can do sound bites so I say we are fine without that main persona.

I think it's Bradford. With a training camp, a running game, a bit more protection, and a little more time with his receivers, Bradford is going to remind everyone why he was a #1 overall pick. So many writers call him an "average" QB, not taking into consideration the chaos he's been placed into so many times. I remember watching him in 2013 when he finally got some continuity. And, yes, he was hurt AGAIN that year, and played only 7 games, but for those 7 games in 2013 there wasn't a QB in the NFL playing better.

You want the franchise to be a Face Less Man?

Shame...shame...shame...
