| Quarterback not the only offseason concern Tarvaris Jackson’s uneven season may have been the story of 2007, but the Vikings have other positions they need to look at upgrading in the offseason. A lack of consistency at the quarterback position will be the story of 2007 for the Vikings. Coach Brad Childress has yet to commit to the 2006 second-round pick but unless something better comes along, that’s who will be under center come next summer when the Vikings report to training camp in Mankato. If Jackson is to show significant improvement, his receiving corps is going to need a key addition or two.Improvement in this area is crucial because the Minnesota offense has the potential to be one of the NFL’s best. In 2006, the Vikings gave up an average of 238.6 passing yards to tie Cincinnati for worst in the league. While the secondary is the obvious place to point for this problem, another big reason was the continued lack of a consistent pass rush from up front. What this team lacks is a dominant pass-rushing presence off the right side. It’s likely the Vikings will take a long look at available receivers and pass rushers in the free-agent market and draft this offseason. Scout.com: Quarterback Not Only Offseason Concern
