The signing of Matt Cassel has allowed the Minnesota Vikings to admit what many of us already knew: Joe Webb is not an NFL-caliber quarterback. With Cassel backing up Christian Ponder, the team can move Webb to receiver and better utilize his athleticism. "(Webb) is such a talented athlete that we want to make sure that we're doing the right thing by him and our team, as well," coach Leslie Frazier told the Star Tribune on Saturday. "That's something we'll continue to discuss as we go forward." Webb played quarterback at UAB, but he was drafted to play receiver. The quarterback experiment turned into full-time duty, and he became the primary backup last season. That experiment appears to be over. Now Webb has the opportunity to make a successful contribution -- at a position of need, with Percy Harvin's departure -- for the Vikings. Source: NFL.com
surprised they didn't do this much earlier .................. as in before they moved him to the #2 QB position and started him in a playoff game that he was barely able to hit the broad side of a barn. makes you wonder why they weren't able to figure out that this kid had no chance of being an nfl qb earlier ..............
