The blogger at Vikingage.com has uncovered the mystery of the Minnesota Vikings lack of production at the quarterback position. It isn't a lack of talent. It isn't poor coaching or ill-advised schemes. It's a conspiracy ... a league-wide one at that.
On the site this week it is writteh:
"Nobody wants the Vikings to have a good quarterback. They know we're just a competent signal-caller away from being a Super Bowl team and they'd rather have us suffer with Tarvaris Jackson than smoke all their asses and claim the Lombardi Trophy.
In fact, there appears to be a flat-out league-wide conspiracy to keep the Vikes from getting their hands on a decent QB. We all know the Packers were dead-set against letting Brett Favre come here — hence the trade to the Jets, and the proviso that New York would have to give up 200 draft picks if Favre were then dealt to Minnesota.
And now there's a new culprit in this game of Viking offensive suppression, and his name is Jon Gruden. According to Profootballtalk.com, Gruden has offered disgruntled QB Jeff Garcia to a couple of teams in a trade, but not the Vikings — presumably because, if Garcia got on the Vikings, he would instantaneously pick up Brad Childress's intricate and ingenious offense and lead us on a 14-game winning streak and thence onto glory. And that would make Gruden look bad especially if his anointed QB Brian Griese played like Brian Griese. Is this devious or what?
