The Minnesota Vikings experienced many transitions this year, especially within the coaching staff and at QB. Leslie Frazier is appearing to settle in nicely as he molds the Vikings into a winning franchise. Donovan McNabb, Christian Ponder and Joe Webb all played key roles in their respective games. With the release of McNabb, the Vikings will be looking between Ponder and Webb as a future starter and Vikings leader.

Stay tuned in the offseason for key player news as well as stadium updates.
