A New Era Of Stability?

For every team in the NFL, no matter who the coach or owner is, and no matter what the era, there always seems to be a question about a position. It might be running back, linebacker, or kicker.

For the Minnesota Vikings, it’s been quarterback. And it’s been quarterback for a long time, going back, give or take some handpicked seasons, to 1979, the year Tommy Kramer took over from Saint Francis of Bloomington.

Kramer had a few decent to good seasons, Wade Wilson had a few. When Denny Green became coach, he began a tradition of signing over the hill QB’s that might have had a season or two here and there, like Warren Moon or Randall Cunningham.
