Dear santa.

For next season i would like just two measly things...............

1. A new offensive coordinator
2. A QB who's arm doesn't fall off when throwing it further than 5 yards.

If Santa does approve these wishes, who would we get at QB? For me i would like Collin Klien under our tree. All depends on what we would have to give up first though. But he's the best QB in next year potential draft, also he might just be able to win games playing Musgraves Predictable dink and dunk screens, with his quick feet. I don't know who told Check down Charlie he could scramble but jeez!

Lots of fans were clamouring for Matt Barkley but after this year not so much :nono:

No matter who they have playing QB, that player will need better targets to throw to so a much better receiving corps is at the top of my Vikings Christmas list. Maybe we'll see less dinking and dunking if the downfield targets have more to offer. Prior to the season, the Vikes seemed excited about the possibilities Jerome Simpson would be able to offer them as a deep threat but he's been a big disappointment.

He's Tebow without the enormous hype.
Completely agree with the similaries with Tebow except for one thing imo, he can throw the ball.

Personally i would wait for Marcus Mariota, but can we wait with whats under centre?

I'm still not convinced "what's under center" is that bad. I think he has a lot of improving to do and I'm not sold on him as the Vikings starting QB of the future but I think those around him have made him look bad as often as he's made himself look bad (and he's done too much of that). ANY young QB is going to experience growing pains when trying to transition to the NFL. Ponder has a lot to prove and he has to get better but he hasn't even completed his second season (and first full season as starter) yet. I don't think it's time to toss him on the scrap heap just yet but he has to do a better job or that's where he'll end up.

All I want for Xmas is a few wins against the Packers and Bears.

Ill be at Lambeau tomorrow. Dont wanna jinx it but the Vikes are 2-0 in games against the Pack that I've been at. Hopefully 3-0 after tomorrow. A win would be huge for our playoff chances.

Going with a bunch of Packer fans, so the Vikes better at least keep it close or I'll be hearing it the whole way home.

Hard to establish anything when you're QB can't throw the ball accurately past 10-15 yards. Doesn't matter who the receiver is when passes are uncatchable.
