Jeff,
the prob with Pep is that he was inconsistant. I do believe Linehan was a good offensive line coach, but he got into Pep's head. He never was the same after that late hit in the end zone that injured him. He was, however, the last QB that was not afraid to take a chance. It just stopped paying off, as he was so unsure of himself.
I love, love, love AP. But he cannot run an entire team. Favre is too selfish to give up the ball to a dynamic RB, such as our very own "Purple Jesus".
Now that I have borderline dissected the politics of MN vikes, your team does not suck.
