What an excellent piece. It leaves the reader pondering the ultimate question: if you're the Vikings, is it worth it to make him the highest paid player in the NFL, given the short supply of quality quarterbacks?
Wonderfully written and well thought out. Thanks CRed for posting that.

I think from the Vikings' stand point, it is worth it if you feel this will get you over the playoffs hump.
And if you are in a win-now mode, you don't care what happens 3 or 4 years down the road when you cannot afford an elite defense, your other skills players become expensive, and you have an above average QB that cannot carry the team on his back.
But if this means potentially winning it all within the next yer or two, then I don't see why they wouldn't do it.
