Charlie Whitehurst: Some Seattle Seahawk Fans Are White Hot Over Whitehurst

I figured with all the handwringing over the Seahawks' trade for the Chargers' Charlie Whitehurst, I would repost an article I wrote a year ago about Whitehurst.
At the time, I felt that the Minnesota Vikings should trade a third-round pick or higher to acquire Whitehurst. I must admit, however, even I was giddy over the haul the Chargers picked up from the Seahawks!
When I look at the Minnesota Vikings I think of two things: stopping the run and running the ball. This is the foundation of a Super Bowl-winning team.

Unfortunately, I also see bad quarterback play, as young Tavaris Jackson has been improperly groomed to lead this potentially great Minnesota team.

I am in disbelief that the Vikings allowed New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassell to slip through their fingers, though they may have never seriously had a shot to bring the one-year wonder up north with former Patriot personnel man Scott Pioli intercepting Matt Cassell in Kansas City.
