Jackson expected to backup Favre in Vikings' season opener

Tarvaris Jackson is expected to backup starting quarterback Brett Favre in the season opener in Cleveland, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

mistake

"Acording to a person close to the situation" ..... reporters should start getting their news from THE SITUATION...not someone CLOSE to the situation.

If this is the case, Way to go T-Jack!
You the man!
(Insert thumbs-up here)

Mobility is better than nobility. And Sage doesn't have much mobility....except when he's doing the helicopter move. lol

GO VIKINGS!

is it a mistake because favre should be backup to jackson or sage should be backup to favre instead of jackson? im starting to be a firm believer in the only problem with this team is brad childress. i know a lot of people including myself have often stated their displeasure for the guy and mentioned repeatedly how inept he is for the headcoach position but at this point brad childress will be the only thing holding this team back from succeeding. tarvaris jackson will be able to stay healthy and be ready to take over if and when favre has problems getting the ball to where it needs to be. jackson has chemistry with the first team offense and will be able to get it done if favre starts to crumble. quite frankly i dont see any team in any division beating the vikes this year so it doesnt matter. even sage could lead this team to the championship. let him fire up the heli and twirl his sorry anus into the enzone for all i care. its the wins that matter and thats all the vikes fans will be seeing. tim tebow is getting it done again today btw - he'll look good in purple next year.

WILDCAT!!! Here we come...:)

i expect Jackson to start at least 6 games for the vikings. Favre will get injured or else he'll quit. don't be surprised if he gets injured in the first game.

it really doesn't matter who plays better in practice. KLINK is just humoring SAGE and the fans. TJ could be worse than any QB we have, but KLINKO refuses to admit he is /was wrong with anything. for those who think otherwise...remember when GUS got hurt, TJ came in played well and then went into the tank against the beagles by half time...but his lordship refused to make a change. KLINK will be the downfall of this season regardless of whom we have as a QB...GO VIKES!

that is very scary to think with jackson as backup, we have no chance in a game if favre goes down. that would be a loss.better make sage the permanent backup to stabilize this team just in case. Don't risk a game or a season allowing jackson to play please.

Who's this "We" stuff? You're from Texas so go root for the Texans or the Cowgirls. You're just pulling for Sage because you and he are from Texas.

Chilldress won't let it go! Tjoke can't hit a reciever in stride, 0 and 6 when he has to throw 30 or more pass's in a game and continually has happy feet in the pocket. Along with the fact he can't get the ball out on time. Chilldress has a soft spot for tjoke and the soft spot is between his ears!

NFL.com a reliable source,has Jackass listed 3rd on the depth chart.
Personally,I would have him in the dog pound.

Considering that Tarvaris is better than Sage and has more games playe than Sage and if you would just drop that stupid playoff game against the Eagles who made Romo the week before look terrible and knocked them out of any playoff chance and the week after we lost to a superior Defensive team in the Eagles to what they made Manning look like you would realize that our only chance for success this year is for Tarvaris to replace Favre as the starter as soon as possible or we will go 6-10!

Naw, you're all good. I was just picking on him cause he was burning on T-Jack, and favoring Sage (which I was opposed to picking this guy up from the beginning)....that, and I can't stand gun toting, beer drinking, inbred rednecks from Texas.

GO VIKINGS!

Seriously, thanks Mike for letting me join up. I have been chased of so many other forums for being a joke. I owe you one BJ now.
