WE looked good again. I am now officially worried about our backup QB posistion. Unless Bouman shows some significant improvement over the next few weeks we are screwed if Pepper gets hurt. He has some talent I know and he supposedly knows the system but he guided us to ZERO in the second half. IS a backup vet QB even more important than DL or CB??? GO VIKES!!!!

I wouldn't worry too much. Bouman was in there with the scrub team. I think he will fare better if placed in a situation where he is throwing to Moss, Carter et al.

However, with that being said Michael Bishop was released by the Patriots. I think he would fit rather nicely into the Vikings scheme even if it is as a #3 guy. No offense to Cockerham or Miller, but I think Bishop is a step above those guys.

This should be an interesting week, Cutdown day is coming a week from Tuesday.

I wouldn't worry Tom, Bouman was probably just sober, He'll be ready next week after all it's a Friday Night game!
