Vikings OC Norv Turner: We'll be trying to add a young QBBy John Breech | CBSSports.comFebruary 6, 2014 8:29 pm ETNorv Turner and the Vikings have plans to bring a young quarterback to Minnesota. (USATSI) Most NFL teams don't like to talk about potential personnel moves they might make during the offseason, but the Vikings aren't most NFL teams. New offensive coordinator Norv Turner met with the media on Thursday for the first time since his mid-January hire and Turner made one thing clear: The Vikings will be looking to add a young quarterback. Turner didn't specify whether the Vikings would spend their eighth overall pick on a quarterback, but he did indirectly mention Russell Wilson."Quarterbacks come from a lot of different spots," Turner said. "A third-rounder wins the Super Bowl and there's some pretty good players who weren't drafted high. I think everybody is in agreement: We're trying to add a young quarterback to the organization. So, you just gotta make sure it's a good one wherever you get him."Turner also added that he'll be looking for a 'guy who has the skill set' the team needs. In the latest CBSSports.com mock draft, both of our draft experts feel that the Vikings will turn to Fresno State's Derek Carr in May's NFL Draft.The Vikings plan to add a young quarterback may have been the reason Matt Cassel decided to leave Minnesota. On Wednesday, Cassel voided the final year of his contract, allowing him to become a free agent in March. The other quarterback on the Vikings roster, Josh Freeman, is also set to become a free agent in March. That means Minnesota's quarterback competition could turn into Christian Ponder versus whomever Turner handpicks to replace Christian Ponder.

Belicheck has a defensive Background. Didn't stop bradyFox has a defensive background Didn't stop ManningDungy had a defensive background Didn't stop ManningCarroll has a defensive background. Didn't stop Wilson Jesus Christ you're dumb. Defense was supposed to be their strong suit and we were at the bottom of the league. That's what I was referencing.

QBing was supposedly Freeman's strong suit and he's bottom of the league as we speak.

Teams will sign him to be the backup QB, with hope the light comes on for him later.

It's amazing how much it sets back your team when you draft a qb in the first round and he ends up sucking.

Our offense never passed as poorly (when compared against the rest of the league) as it did in 2013.

Posted : Feb. 10, 2014 4:07 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest What's the argument for those of you who believe Freeman was given a chance to succeed here? He sucked.. What happened to him in Minnesota? You could say he didn't know the offense but why did that Monday night game Freeman look like our preseason and regular season Freeman when he knew our offense. How come he didn't sniff the field after that debacle?

He started FIFTY NINE games here!!!!FIFTY NINE!!!59!He had all sorts of talent around him. VJ, Doug Martin, Blount, Williams, Winslow.... high draft picks and expensive free agents on the O-Line.He was given plenty of chance to succeed.

If they had kept him on the bench instead of hanging him the reigns to the organization, he would have been much more successful.
