It’s Over

From ESPN:
Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice confirmed Monday that his star quarterback has a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee.
Ugh. Here's something else you don't want to hear, from the Strib:
Tice added, �He has a long rehab ahead of him, but we don�t expect this to be career-ending. We expect this to be a set back for him.�
Emphasis added. The fact that Tice even brought up the idea of career-ending should be enough to make your stomach turn. A very bad day for Vikings fans.

Maybe Jason Kubel is ready to step in at QB.
Did anyone else find themselves thinking, yet not having quite enough time to say aloud, "Stop! Get down, dammit!" on that run? I can't say I thought he'd get a season injury, but I was sure he was gonna get nailed. Probably could have seen it coming if I had an HDTV. And of course, DC tried to put a lick on the other guy - probably to boost the team.
Watching the replay I just knew it wasn't good. A lot of people cringed at the Robert Ferguson injury last week, but I didn't think it looked too bad (and it wasn't). Culpepper's was just blatant.
So where are all the Brad Johnson cheerleaders now? He looked like a poor man's Chad Pennington out there. Yet I'm still considering bidding on him in my fantasy league. The shame.
I'm a Daunte guy. I've always been a Daunte guy. I realize he's not Joe Montana, very few are. I'm a Moss guy, too. Those two were beautiful together, even if they may not have been the best of friends.
He has taken, I think, more abuse than he should for his play. Look at what kind of bargain basement offensive coordinator they have. And yeah, I was thinking get down, and on the live play I saw that he was hurt (the TV broke for the end of the quarter, so no replay for several minutes). Bad deal.
I think the coordinator and coach (and O-line) are big problems. However, a part of me wonders what would have happened if we lured Plax this winter? Do you think he had a problem with DC? Or the coaching staff? Or Minnesota?
