And yes the Vikes should have tried to win a meaningless game..afterall that stadium was full of people who paid to see them, shovelled the stadium out from 45,000 cubic tons of snow and braved some pretty nasty elements to do so and sit through the game.

They had him at WR at the start of the 1st mini-camp. Then he was put back at QB and was there all summer.
From an Aug 25 article:
Quote:
That happened for exactly one rookie minicamp. It was at that point the Vikings gave Webb an audition as a quarterback, liked what they saw and decided they would rather have him throwing passes than catching them.
He has remained at quarterback, despite the fact many fans now seem to think the Vikings should give him a chance at receiver after Sidney Rice underwent hip surgery that could sideline for at least half the season and Percy Harvin again has been dealing with migraines.
Vikings coach Brad Childress, however, said that option has been talked about and dismissed.
