I love that last quote.

I am getting tired of the Jackson bashing (even though those Rosenfels quotes were pretty funny). Last year Jackson played in a total of nine games and put up solid numbers such as a 95.4 quarterback rating (Favre barely broke 80), threw 9 touchdowns to 2 picks (Favre was even at 22 picks and TDs), and won a playoff game, something that hasn’t been done in Minneota since Randy Moss wore a Vikes jersey. Yes, he had his moments of inconsistency as young (and old) players will, but chances are he could have worked out some of those mental mistakes with more time on the field instead of sitting on the bench watching Gus throw up a sub 80 QB rating with more pics than TD’s and a LOSING record. It’s just getting old hearing Jackson get trashed when he has been the most successful starting quarterback the Vikes have had in the last 6 years. Bashing a winner because he’s not the “pedigree” or the “top shelf” type of player is ridiculous. People fall in love with some guy on tape because he has all the skills and is such and such tall and blah blah big arm and all that nonsense. That mentality has worked really well for those obsessed with the Matt Leinarts and Rob Johnsons of the league. But as long as the Vikings keep drooling after Favre and putting guys right behind Jackson as a constant reminder “lose this game and you’re gone kid”, there’s a chance we won’t know how good he can be. Until he wins the Super Bowl for another team.
