Vikings release backup QB Holcomb

Vikings quarterback Kelly Holcomb knew the end was coming. So he wasn't surprised Wednesday when he got the news that the Vikings had released him.

What else COULD they do? He was like an expensive Edsel that always broke down. Now there's more cap room, and they have alot of money to spend for some REAL players. Maybe get like Pennington for a #2 QB, and go after Berrian and a decent DE or two.

[Fire Childress]

Cap room? Most teams have more invested in their third string QB than the Vikings do in their entire quarterback corps. The sad truth is that egomaniac Childress doesn't want a quality back up because the pressure to replace Jackson would be intense and immediate. Pennington has been hurt as much as any QB in the league and Berrian is average at best. The Vikings have plenty of cap room but free agency is filled with nothing but garbage. Leadership of this organization from the owner to the coach to the starting QB is the worst in the NFL.

So are you suggesting that if they fire Childress, the free agency market will not be garbage? How is it leaderships fault that there aren't a lot of great free agents to choose from?

I think Childress has done pretty good so far, considering. Peterson may be making him look better than he is, but you can't deny that the team improved this year over last year. A couple dropped TD passes, a fumble on the pylon, a missed field goal. Honestly, we easily could have been 11-5 with a little more luck.

If Cloe Lemon is on the roster for a any reason I will turn in my 30 yrs of bleeding purple for a f%#kn Dolphin bus ticket!!!!!!!!!!

What was Kelly Holcomb's complete pay in 2007?
Thanks
