Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that 39-year-old quarterback Jeff George, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1990 draft, is lobbying to be signed by the Vikings.

George called our buddy Paul Allen of KFAN on Monday to see if P.A. would gauge the team's interest.

"I know they're banged up," George told Jensen. "But with a running back like Adrian Peterson, I would be licking my chops. With that running back, you need someone who can throw that deep ball, and I know I still can. I don't care about the talent at receiver."

George spent a season with the Vikings in 1999, and replaced a sputtering Randall Cunningham while the Vikings were 2-3 and losing to the Lions. George nearly pulled off the comeback, but did enough to win the job -- and he lead the Vikes into the postseason, where they lost to the Rams in the divisional round.

Sadly, he is right. He is better than any option they have right now.

Except Jeff George is 40 years old. Who next? Dave Krieg? Chris Miller? Steve DeBerg?

Miller took one to many hits to the head...DeBerg was classy with no arm, but made few mistakes...Krieg had HOF stats...all would be better even at an advance age...

Dave Krieg! Hadn't thought of that guy in years!

[Lefty Noob]

Nah, Goth, none of those guys. It'll be Andre Ware next, followed by Babe Laufenberg and Steve Grogan.

Man, next thing you will be telling me is that Rodney Peete is still around... ...and Grogan looked old even when he was young.

Isn't it sad when the league came to the point when Aaron Brooks and Jeff George are the best options to be signed at Quarterback
