Instead of derailing the NFL thread, I thought I'd throw this out there in its own venue. Here is a detailed account of how the trade went down and why the Vikings went with Sam.
Sam Bradford trade explained by Eagles, Vikings GMs | The MMQB with Peter King
I know Sam Bradford is not Peyton Manning of 2004, but he seems to have been the Viking's best option. Hopefully it works out.

I got up on the white board, and we sorted out the scenarios—guys on the street we might want, guys who might get cut, guys on teams that might have enough depth that they’d consider dealing [a quarterback]. Names and options. Then we all got to work watching tape, and I started making calls. To be honest, there was no solution. No good solution.
