One thing to take into consideration is that Rosenfels hasn't been in camp with the Vikings and, while he's been in a West Coast system here, he doesn't know Childress's specific offense. I think its unlikely the Vikes would part with a higher level draft choice for less than a season from a quarterback who will, at the very least, take a while to learn the playbook. While Rosenfels may be the better quarterback, Frerotte's the better bet for Childress and doesn't cost them a thing.
