The kid may have potential. But 2 or 3 years down the road, Jackson may be ready, but they may not have the rest of the pieces still in place. With Favre in the mix, they had their best shot to win now.

Brett Farve will be a failure in Minnesota. You can bring up his regular season numbers all you want, that is not what he is here for. Anything less than a Superbowl Championship is a failure. I have said before that the Vikings probally would not have been the number 2 seed in the playoffs with Tavaris, but they would have made the playoffs and they would have been a better team in the playoffs. On top of that they would be a better team heading into the next season. After this year where are they going to be at? Same spot they were to start this year, only a year older. Farve will retire and the window of opertunity will be one more season closer to being closed. Who is going to lead the Vikings then, Tavaris? Not after they way they treated him this season.

I don't buy into this "he can learn under Brett Farve" stuff. Players play and coaches coach. If Farve wants to teach the young guy, retire and become the Minnesota quarterbacks coach.

So Peyton Manning has only had one successful year. Dan Marino never did anything of value. Or does Brett Favre get held to a different standard because you need it to make your argument?

Trent Dilfer is more of a success story than Dan Marino.

Guys!
Its no use arguing with a beaker... They can never use concrete evidence or logic to defend their stances!!

Actually, I am still confused as to why Amendial who doesn't seem to have any ties to Minnesota or Green Bay has such an avid opinion on this subject. Maybe if it was a Jacksonville QB, or well, I just don't know..

He's either Tarvaris Jackson, one of Jackson's relatives, or one of Jackson's lovers. There's no other explanation.

hope the Vikes draft well, because Jackson is not their future...if so, dark days lay ahead for the Fans in Minnesota.

Peyton Manning wasn't signed at the age of 39 by a team to lead them to the playoffs. Nor was Dan Marino, or any of the other greats you are talking about. Its not that hard to see, they did not sign him to have one great year under him and then be up the creek without a paddle. You sign a guy who is likely to retire for one reason, to lead your team to the Superbowl. The point I am making is that long term the Vikings would have been better to play Tarvaris than start Farve this year. You guys like to throw around Brett Farves numbers and then turn around and ignore what Tavaris did to end the season last year.


And Juzam, what else is there to do on these boards? Its pretty dead, without the Brett Farve debate there would be little reason to visit here. I argue simply for the entertainment.
