So does Andre Gurode suck now? There's no way he's worse than Jeff Faine.

Waiting on CJ might not be the best thing considering what he's asking for.

I see the point, but the Vikings don't have a franchise quarterback. They don't have much of a choice right now. They don't have any luxury on waiting for a franchise Q to be developed while his window rapidly closes (given RB's historically and his style of play).
Having AP alleviates a lot of the pressure off of guys like Favre and a McNabb putting these Q's and the Vikings in the best situation to win games. He's a huge asset and this is the direction the team has placed itself in if it wants to win a ring anytime soon. Can't risk letting AP go and then not having a running game to along with no future QB. It's not rebuilding time.
There's more than one way to build a playoff competetive team. And this is the route the Vikings will go.
Yea it sort of sucks for the Vikings being handcuffed like that... They'd get crucified by their fans if they let AP walk. So they'll pay him whatever it takes...

I can't see them coming up with money to help build that stadium nor should they use public funds. That state is dead broke...They're lucky if they will be able to pay pentions & pention benifits in the next 10 years or so...

Is spending that much on 1 player thats not your QB really going to allow you to field a team that can win the Super Bowl?
James Starks
Pierre Thomas
Rashard Mendenhall
Brandon Jacobs
Joseph Addai
Corey Dillon
Kevin Faulk
Mike Alstott?
Antwain Smith???
Jamal Lewis
Aaron Rodgers is about to make $12M this year... I just don't see any reason to spend more than that on a half back...
