Joe Webb will focus solely on playing the quarterback position for the first time in his young NFL career.
He is currently number two on the Vikings depth chart, sandwiched between starter Christian Ponder and veteran backup Sage Rosenfels. The Vikings hope that Webb will improve on his already impressive resume as a surprise NFL quarterback after being drafted as, and receiving reps as, a wide out.
“It’s a great role to have,” Webb recently said. “Any time you can concentrate on one position, that’s always a positive.”
“I want to be able to do whatever I can to help the team win,” Webb continued. “Any chance I can get on the field, I want to help the offense move the chains and score points. But right now, I’m just focusing on quarterback.”
A recent survey of five NFL analysts in a recent NFL.com article, two of the five predict it will be the Vikings that “beat out” the other 31 NFL teams for 2013’s first overall selection in the NFL Draft. That means, of course, that the Vikings have earned a horrible record under the leadership of Christian Ponder.
Those analysts forget one thing, however.
If the Vikings go down a path towards being the worst team in 2012, Joe Webb will likely be making an appearance or two throughout the season.
If Webb plays, we all know what that means for our Draft position.

Wow, I'm not counting on a trip to the Super Bowl, but certainly have higher hopes than the worst record in the league. Kinda wonder how you get the title "analyst" in the first place.
One good thing Coach is you can usually count how many times these analysts are right with one hand. oh and dont forget the first four letters in analyst are anal. Lol
Good points, johnny. I'm with you on both!
also last year every analyst was saying that cincy would end up having the number 1 pick..
im beginning to think...the analysists are like the refs and just hate out team....im not betting on a super bowl this year...but 500 would be nice.
If Webb plays, we all know what that means for our Draft position.
....No worse than 30th!
Unless they're playing well and Ponder gets hurt CC. Ponder is a little Fragile, no offense Freds.
i think webb could be very good at QB and we should give him this chance
