Vote: What do you expect from the Vikings?


Randy Moss is in Oakland, Daunte Culpepper is in Miami, Mike Tice is gone and the Minnesota Vikings are moving on.

One of the more remarkable facelifts in recent memory is complete, but are the Vikings better off without the two players once viewed as franchise cornerstones? After trading away Moss before last season, the Vikings managed a 9-7 record last season despite a serious injury to Culpepper and major off-field distractions. But it wasn't enough to save Tice's job, leading to the arrival of Brad Childress.

So will Childress get things going right away? And is Brad Johnson a better bet than Culpepper at quarterback? Vote on the outlook for the Vikings!
