Well, that's it. The Vikings have taken a couple more steps in building a new team, including trading C.J. Mosley and a draft pick to the New York Jets for Brooks Bollinger, who will replace McMahon at back-up QB. Losing Mosley could really suck, since he had potential as a pass rusher for the Vikings, (and I don't know what round the pick was). On the other hand, we needed a veteran QB to back up Johnson, because in football terms he's very old and injury prone. But this exposes a potential problem regarding personnel decisions.
Mike McMahon was a bust as a back-up QB, and totally stunk up the joint, so they had to cut him and make a trade for a replacement after the pre-season. The only reason he was signed in the first place was because he used to play for the Eagles and he "knew the system". Then we swapped receivers with the Eagles, they our guy and made him a starter and we got a guy we buried way down the depth chart who "knows the system". Now we've also signed a guy the Eagles cut because he was injured, but then of course, he "knows the system". 22 guys have to be cut today and now I'm wondering if having played for the Eagles is going to be the determining factor in determining the final roster. But then I don't "know the system".
