I don't ordinarily enjoy saying "I told you so!", however I wrote a blog article last week that chastised the Vikes for their Rosenfels choice and posed questions as to why they we

knock any progress the Vikes have made to date back a year or even two. The word now is that Jeff Garcia is an option. That I can actually see happening. Garcia has the exper

Well now that the fans have had some time to adjust to the firing of Head Coach Jon Gruden, what is the mood like in Tampa?
I understand that teams struggle, and that many times coaches pay the price for it. I'm just not so sure that letting Gruden go was the best thing to do. While Tampa has been up and down the past few years there is more to notice than just Grudens ability or lack there of. in this modern era of winning and championships, Gruden has got to be heralded as the greatest coach in Bucs history delivering their only Super Bowl in 2002. They have had several playoff years in his tenure, and despite an unexpected collapse at the end of this season were on pace to make the playoffs again safter starting 9-3.

Patriots won't let him go considering the seriousness of Tom Brady's knee injury (remember Pep?!)
Jeff Garcia: Probably the only intriguing option of the bunch. However, Garcia is terribly injury-prone and quite old...he can't stick around for much longer. Thus, he would only be a stop-gap.

I'm glad that Mr. Allen will continue to

success (and MN's ultimate failure) can be found by examining both quarterbacks.
Let's start with Jeff Garcia...we all know that, in order for the Vikings to win most games, they must have a dominating performance from the defensive line, as the secondary plays a great deal of zone coverage and thus yields many wide-open receivers if the opposing QB has enough time to release the ball. The Vikings' D-line actually played extremely well on Sunday, but could not accomplish the vital task of their mission...sending Garcia to the turf. Although Jared Allen, Kevin Williams, and Ray Edwards (among others) had Garcia running for his life most of the afternoon, Garcia (with his nimble feet and smooth mobility) was ALWAYS able to buy enough time to find the open receiver downfield. Besides the infamous Michael Vick OT touchdown scamper of '02, I don't think I have seen a QB dodge and dart away from pressure as well as Garcia did. Pretty impressive for an old fogey like him.
