I realize our biggest problem is the QB. I was merely commenting on something other than QB for once.

You're missing the point.
People are advocating drafting an ELITE RB, ala Adrian Peterson. What has Adrian Peterson REALLY done for the Vikings?
It's not just about THIS draft, it's about the next 5, 6, or more.
With Adrian Peterson, the Vikings thought Tarvaris Jackson was good enough. Then they got Favre. And as if it wasn't COMPLETELY obvious after that, they went with DONOVAN MCNABB.
They finally drafted Ponder just in time to have AP finish the season on IR. They WASTED Jared Allen's best years. They wasted Henderson's best years. What's really sad is that they wasted ADRIAN PETERSON'S best years.
If I thought this team would take Richardson this year and then go fix the QB position next year, I'd be all for it.
But they WON'T. They'll do what pretty much every team does when they take an elite back before getting the franchise QB - they'll build the offense around him and hover around 8-8 for the next decade.
