PFT: Tavaris Jackson benched...

[Hailmary]

Meh! You beat me to it.

I wonder if Childress has Culpepper on speed dial.

I mean why the heck not. He's going to be asked to hand it off to peterson most of the time anyway. And the few times he's asked to pass, he couldn't be much worse than Jackson.

Its funny that 3 teams in that division have no clue on how to develope....or acquire a solid QB.

GB had Farve land in their lap and now have groomed a solid replacement.

Childress is the one that sent Duante packing from Minny in the first place. I doubt he has him on his speed dial and I'm pretty sure Culpeper wouldn't take the call.

I was referring to Henson.

lol, you were waiting for this day weren't you?

He probably subscribed to the thread

so if ferotte stinks sunday, then what.

Then I guess the coach loses his team. Very interesting to go to him now because going back to jackson would mean something went really wrong.

In fairness, I think that Frerotte should get at least two seasons of stinkage before he gets benched - just like Jackson got.

Yet another plug pulled on the 'athlete as quarterback'.

I remember when that trend was going to 'revolutionize the NFL'.

So much for that...

I wonder why no move for Culpepper. I thought that knee had healed.

Gussy boy isn't going to help much.

Also don't see Gruden making that trade (Garcia).

It would be a smart move by Gruden to trade Garcia. He doesn't like Garcia and you may as well get something in return for him instead of just letting him go at the end of the year. It is not as if Garcia is going to magically lift the Vikings into contention. He doesn't know their offense. It would take weeks before he caught on to their system and got in a groove.

NOOOOOOOOO. I put $50 on the Vikings losing. Darn you Vegas insiders!

The stats for Gus in 8 games and 3 starts last year with the Rams.

94 completions
167 attempts
56.3%
1014 yards
6.07 YPA
10.79 YPC
7 TDs
12 INTs
58.3 QB rating

Looks like you still may have a safe bet.

Wow. I seem to recall some pro-Jackson posters a few months ago. Myself, I saw and continue to see Quincy Carter.

Jackson can't carry QC's jock strap. Tavaris is that bad. The guy has a great defense, great offensive line, and one of the best running backs in the game. I don't care how bad the receivers are; he should have been able to post better numbers than a 50% completion rate at 5 yards per attempt.

 

[Garland powerplay]

They wanted Favre before the season so the warning signs were there. They should have drafted a QB.

Are you implying that Rex Grossman is not a solid quarterback?

solid backup w/ developmental potential
