[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 126799, member: 843"] There's a lot more at stake to the future of the team than just a lost year. Everything was trending up for the team. Players bought in and they believed they were preparing for a Super Bowl run this year or next. That's a lot of motivation for all the guys on the team. Couple that with the new stadium, the fan hype and support were at all time highs. The Vikings were going to rake in a lot of cash this year. There is no guarantees TB comes back from this injury and is successful. Even if he is fine physically his biggest issue the past couple years seemed to be his confidence, this isn't going to help that. The Vikings needed more depth and a better back up at QB (or at least a promising young qb) regardless if TB went down or not. I think they need to open up the checkbook and draft pick bank and try to get a promising backup QB that is currently not on the market. I don't think they will tank without TB or if they have Hill in. I think its more about the direction they want to go to actually move forward and make sure the development of all the other young players doesn't suffer. You don't want a limited playbook or Peterson to get 40 carries a game. [/QUOTE]
