The Vikings Must Grab Jay Cutler

With the recent news of the Denver Broncos putting Jay Cutler on the trade block, NFL teams in need of a quarterback are getting ready to deal.

After several weeks of anger, a lack of communication and stubborn attitudes, the Broncos are willing to trade their star quarterback. Cutler has proved he wants out of Denver and  ownership in the Mile High city has said enough is enough. There are several teams that have quietly said they are "open to anything" even open to trading for the Broncos young gun. Of those teams, one of them comes to mind even if it is an opinionated mind...the Minnesota Vikings.

The Minnesota Vikings have been having issues at quarterback for the past three or four years. Now with newly acquired former Houston Texans quarterback Sage Rosenfels the quarterback struggle just got more...depressing.

Vikings head coach Brad Childress has been trying to put his incoherent faith in the young and reckless Tavaris Jackson and it hasn't been a pretty scene. Excluding the last couple games of the 2008 season and the NFC North Division Title the team won, Jackson has not developed into the star purple fans were hoping for.

With Cutler on the trade block and the Vikings in crucial need for a star quarterback, there is no doubt that the Vikings are short on time to deliberate their situation. Earlier in February, Vikings officials were in "subdued talk" with the Denver Broncos. However, with rumors arising that some of the Minnesota coaching staff wasn't thrilled with Cutler, talks ended as soon as they began.

There are many NFL analysts and sports writers who think because of the lack of enthusiasm for the star quarterback, the Vikings won't be serious contenders for Cutler.

As a Vikings fan, I've seen the Vikings pass on many opportunities to snag a good player but if Vikings pass on this one, it will be the worst golden opportunity to pass them by in franchise history.

They need a good passer and leader, and now that Cutler is on the trade block, I have one question for them. WHAT BETTER OPPORTUNITY DO YOU GUYS HAVE?!

Seriously, Childress and his staff really need to reconsider their feelings on Cutler. Vikings fans are tired of getting amp'd up every season to see it crushed by a immature quarterback who is not ready to lead the offense. Adding Rosenfels may have added more competition for Jackson, but if you want to be serious contenders for the Super Bowl and crush your NFC North rivals, YOU MUST GET JAY CUTLER!!!
