Don't expect Frerotte back next season, which means Childress will definitely be looking to bring in another veteran quarterback to backup/supplant Jackson.

He needs (note italics for emphasis) to make the right choice this time. But remember, this is the man who has brought in Mike McMahon, Brooks Bollinger, Kelly Holcomb and Frerotte the past three seasons.

You're right – the Vikings are fucked. [...]
