The Vikings managed to squeeze a couple more seasons out of Brett Favre, but they really need a quarterback under the age of 40. Tarvaris Jackson was never the answer and Joe Webb doesn’t look like one. Could Newton be the man the Vikings have been waiting for?

The Heisman winner is a dual threat through the air and on the ground, much like former Minnesota star Daunte Culpepper, but Newton’s more athletic. Putting Newton on the same field as Adrian Peterson could wreak havoc on opposing defenses.
