For any of you who follow sports, more precisely football, distinctly MN Vikings, it's been a rough season but there may finally be some hope... for next season. Brad Johnson has been the QB this season and while he is a veteran and well-experienced, his time may be over. At the game this past weekend, he was booed off the field for not performing up to the fans expectations. His replacement, the rookie Tarvaris Jackson, received a standing ovation when he took the field late in the 3rd quarter. While I felt bad for Brad as he was being booed off, I did join in the excitement as Jackson took the field. Jackson had some playtime earlier this year in the pre-season and he seemed to do very well (especially considering he's a rookie in the NFL). This weekend he had 177 yards in one quarter, Brad had 96 yards in three quarters. Slight difference there. With two games left this season, Head Coach Brad Childress announced today that Jackson will be the starting QB for those games which will give him some experience in the NFL, give us a glimpse of what the future may hold with Tarvaris as QB, and maybe give fans something to cheer about for the remainder of the season. One can only hope...
