Vikings Thoughts

Maybe Gus Frerotte should have been the starter all along.
Just a thought.
The Vikings offense looked much more synced with the 15-year journeyman running the offense than at any point the two previous weeks with Tarvaris Jackson in there.
It took a while for Frerotte to settle in, completing four of 10 passes for 49 yards in the first half Sunday against the Panthers. Still, the trust, the communication between receivers and quarterback never wavered.
Everything clicked in the second half.
Frerotte moved around in the pocket, and occasionally outside, buying time for his receivers to get open and successfully mixed in short throws with deep ones.
While futile in the here and now, think about what might have been.
The offense perhaps wouldn't have stalled in the fourth quarter with Frerotte, opening the door for Indianapolis to rattle off 18 unanswered points in Week 2. The Vikings previously held a 109-0 record in home games where they held a 15 point second-half advantage. There's no telling what would have changed in Week 1 against the Pack, but 2-1 is literally a polar opposite mentality from 1-2.
One, you're in control, feeling good. The other, you're beginning to think about salvaging the season.
Obviously, the past can't be changed. With Frerotte in, Vikings fans are beginning to believe this year's team has a future.
