Those who assumed -- and perhaps we were among them -- that the Vikings were doing the choosing when it came to the LaDainian Tomlinson situation and not vice-versa, his decision to go to the Jets presents a strange problem: now what?
It's not like Tomlinson was great anymore, but he certainly would have filled an important role -- a role that Chester Taylor filled very nicely and one that shouldn't be taken for granted.
Is Albert Young the answer? Can Adrian Peterson shoulder an even bigger load, reducing the impact of a possibly less-heralded third down back? Do you feel a little less comfortable knowing that if 28 fumbles a couple away, there might not be as trusted a man lurking behind him?
