Is Jackson really the guy to get rid of here? There must be some serious pressure from Zygi because he cut some pretty big checks in the off-season and this start is just horse shit. Chilly has to be feeling it. His kick-ass offense is kicking every Vikings fan in the nuts and he expects us to believe that Gus Frerotte is the answer?! T Jack isn't the reason we lost to the Colts - the fucking predictible playcalling in the redzone was! Dan Dierdorf, you half-retarded lump, we weren't booing T Jack, we were booing Childress. You don't rape the Colts as thoroughly as we did and then walk into the tunnel with only 15 goddamn points! I saw this loss coming as soon as Logwell lined up for field goal number 5.
Here's what Zygi has to see and what should cost Childress his job: even if we make a miracle run to an 10-6 record (we'd have to beat either Jacksonville, Tennessee, New Orleans or the Pack), we have no franchise quarterback. Jackson is not the guy apparently. Chilly's big 2nd round trade-up gamble didn't pay off and now Gus is in for the season. We'll have another mid-round pick and we'll have to choose between sticking with Gus, developing J Booty, signing a free agent that can make us a contender or draft someone who can play right away.
The QB free agents out there are shitty. Grossman. Garcia. Boller. Losman. Barf. Somehow, none of these guys are upgrades over this:
Our other choice is to develop Booty, who I would buy a jersey of in a second but I don't think is ready to lead an NFL team, especially one run by Brad Childress. Zygi didn't crack the checkbook this year to 'develop' anyone, either. He shouldn't have the patience for that tired line from Chilly again. So even though I'll watch and cringe and suffer through lots of this:
I'll be preparing to see this guy come out of the tunnel next year. Praise Jesus.

I just watched the Vikings/Colts game tonight. Jackson was NOT the problem. Not at all.
The playcalling sucked. The receivers dropped some balls they should have caught.
And not to be that guy, but for the second week in a row, we win the game if we don't get hosed on two key pass-interference no-calls. That hurts too.
Tavaris should NEVER have been made starting QB last year. He needs a little more seasoning and getting it by playing in the NFL was not the answer. I agree with them taking him out now and letting a veteran try to win some games and let Tavaris work behind the scenes on his pocket play.
Also, Shaub is a much better QB than Tavaris and had a pretty solid outing in his one game aside from 2 INTs.
TNA, I'm just so happy that someone I've never met read my blog that I won't even point out that although I agree with you regarding Jackson's readiness, you have to agree that terrible playcalling put us in this position.
