Vikings Ponder on Quarterback

Christian PonderLeslie Frazier has been open to the public about whether or not the Vikings pursue a veteran QB. After drafting Christian Ponder, Frazier said the lockout length could determine whether the team pursues a veteran QB.

The clock is ticking and Frazier knows it. Frazier has said he would prefer to groom a rookie QB from the ground up, but the time to do that is dwindling and we are STILL discussing what the best QB option is for the Vikings.

I get what Frazier is saying, but neither Ponder nor Joe Webb have a full season under their belt and now won't even have a full off season to prepare. The Vikings need a veteran.

Candidates for that job include: Matt Hasselbeck, Donovan McNabb, Kyle Orton, Vince Young and Carson Palmer.

With more lockout time on the horizon, the Vikings need to figure out what they want to do before next season becomes this season and Vikings fans are watching Percy Harvin take over at QB with double-vision brought on by his reoccurring migraines. Yikes.
