You have a knack for creating polls that lack the answer I want to select.
I chose "other" because frankly, I don't know who should be starting next year and I wasn't nuts about the veteran possibilities on the list. My gut says it should probably be someone who isn't currently on the team, possibly a rookie, but I don't necessarily think it has to be a first round rookie. I'm not sure which veterans will be available and for all I know, Ponder will snap out of this funk and make a case for himself (although that seems very unlikely).
Ugly QB class. But we are at a point where I don't even think Frazier will be back. I think a new coach comes in, a few veterans get traded, and 2016 is when we finally make our run for the super bowl.

I may very well have missed somebody, but if you didn't see someone you liked that is not my fault. That's the reality. There are no mystery guys standing behind the curtain, the QB's that could play in Minnesota are in the public eye right now. If you're frustrated by the available names that's the dilemma that will face the Vikings this offseason, because that is who we have to choose from. And while I don't really follow college football, I hear this year's class has no "elite" types. The one thing that is clear, is that there is no easy or obvious solution to the Vikings QB spot for 2013.
Relax, I wasn't finding fault. I was just amused that every time you create a poll, the option I want isn't available. For example, I would have picked "rookie" if it had been an option but you qualified it by specifiying "1st round rookie" and I don't necessarily think it needs to be a first round rookie.
I don't care who it is but you have to bring in a veteran this offseason via trade or FA. I still think Ponder is the future. I think the kid will be alright once he gets a little WR help. But it's going to be hard to get any FA WR's if its just Ponder. We have to get this qb situation figured out! This team is so close and It makes me sick that we haven't gotten it figured out yet!
The only reason Philip Rivers would leave sunny San Diego for frozen Minnesota would be for Adrian Peterson. Oh Kyle Rudolph and Percy Harvin are nice to throw to as well. Rivers has clearly suffered since LT left the team. But he would have someone even better in AP. He would have a legit tight end in Rudolph and Harvin at WR. But I also think he's a bit of a hot head and could lose us games just because of that. I prefer Smith since he's become the NFL's elite game manager and couldn't we use a cool, level headed guy who doesn't make mistakes? Right now that sounds good. And he's 28 too. So he ain't Brett Favre old.
Alex Smith. Always liked the guy and he is only 28/29 years of age. He could easily be our QB for 6 to 7 seasons. We would just have to make sure to fire that DUMB #### Bill Musgrave before we signed him otherwise Alex would revert to his 2005 form.

I wouldnt mind adding vick to the roster and letting him compete for qb. I think we could run a simple of enough system to keep his int down, our o-line is better than eagles so that should help for injuries and turn overs, not to mention he will see alot more 8 man fronts thanks to a.p. dont get me wrong he wont have his mircale season like with philly but i think he could do anything ponder can but better.

I went with Vick as well. I think he's better than the Sanchez/veteran starters listed. And maybe more likely to be cut depending on how his contract is set up. Would the 49ers even want to trade Smith? And I don't think it'd be worth it to give up much of anything for a veteran stopgap guy.
Either way we need to draft someone somewhere in the draft. The three bums on the roster can all leave/be cut and the team would be better off for it...
All of those guys suck except for maybe flynn, but since he couldn't even get a starting gig while signing a big contract I have my doubts he'd be worth a trade.
I think they might have to go the russel wilson route, keep on improving the team but use a 3rd round on another QB to bring in.
IF they truely think webb would be worse than ponder then our Backups need to improve.
