Blairs Walsh=Great past 50, terrible at extra points and chip shots.

Need to draft a QB, and get Teddy working with the best QB coaches money can buy.
The Vikings are terrible at drafting a guy and putting all their eggs in one basket. Three years later they use their first pick on another guy and start again. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
Until you have a guy you know is going to be a top ten guy long term, keep drafting QB's. What's the worst that can happen? You get stuck with two young franchise QB's and have to trade one for a king's ransom of picks???
Personally, I'd like to see the Vikes go the traditional way of....well, the Vikings and get an older franchise QB open to parting ways with their franchise that's got a couple good years left on the tires. Rivers or Brees could be had and you put them on this team and it's easily a contender.
Bridgewater isn't the guy. If he steadily improves he could someday crack the top 20. That's his ceiling. He's played two full seasons, if there was more there we'd have seen more than just glimpses thus far. Ponder had a great 4 or 5 game stretch to end 2012 including outslinging Aaron Rodgers in the dome to get the Vikes in as a wild card.
I think we have a solid receiving corps, they're just getting the ball thrown to them by a subpar QB. Wallace would have had close to double digits in TD passes with a decent guy under center throwing to him. They ran him on that deep sideline route once a game and he'd make separation every time but Teddy-B over threw him each time. Diggs is going to progress into a pro-bowler, solid TE's, we're not bad.
They kept saying the same thing about T-Jack, "He needs a #1 go-to guy." Then Favre came in and those same guys looked amazing.
