If you keep up with athletics media, and by "keep up" I imply read anything, you have heard the claims over the last two days that the Vikings could have won their playoff match up versus Philadelphia with anybody behind middle not named Tarvaris Jackson.
Jackson went 15-35 for only 164 yards, no touchdowns and one precise interception, which was so badly thrown it almost seemed like he considered Asante Samuel must have been a great receiver. The Eagles won too as Vikings are headed to some prolonged off-season also it appears nobody in Minnesota can smile.
Now even copy quarterback Gus Frerotte, who performed in eleven matches this year or so and could have ongoing to start experienced he not harm his back versus the Lions in day 14, is complaining about what happened, declaring he may possibly happen to be the answer.
"I just don't know what to really feel precise now," Frerotte told Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. "It must have been a extremely annoying experience, due to the facts which i felt like I should've been the one precise playing. that could seem selfish, but I really feel I would've supplied us the most effective chance to win. i am title residence to St. Louis [on Monday] being with my family associates and discern out wherever things stand, however the way in which things performed out in the end really helps make me problem things."
Even however Gus did not precisely tear it up this year or so (12 touchdowns to 15 interceptions, 54.7 completion percentage), it helps make minimal impression to get faraway from an inexperienced participant out within the trenches with no gun and no real grasp of what is happening.
Even however mind coach Brad Childress supposedly went with Tarvaris due to the "gut feeling" (nice coaching strategy), at what point does that "gut feeling" change to "man, this man couldn't total a phrase jumble."
It's simple to see that the Vikings do not use a quarterback that could help this group increase their Achilles subsequent season. Jackson is not performing it, Frerotte is not performing it and John David Booty probably will not be the answer. If this group is title to improve, finding a able (not even good, just capable) quarterback within the off-season is imperative.
If not, seem playoff time subsequent year, night clubs will know precisely how to conquer the Vikings.
