[Cpanthers5851]

i will go ahead and start this one up. The vikings are shoping tavaris jackson after the signing of favre. Would you be interested?

not a chance!

I like Tavaris and think the perfect situation for him is to go to a team that has a strong running game a entrenched veteran QB so he can devolp for a year or two (which coincidentally is about the time frame the Jake probably would and should retire). We have the ideal situation for him but I can assure that it ain't goin' happen. Reasons:

1,2 and 3: We are broke.

4: We have bigger needs elsewhere. (see DT position)

5: Foxy has a man crush on both Mccown and Moore (i can understand this one he has a lot of potential) neither are going anywhere.

I like the idea, if Jackson can be had on the cheap (re: picked up off waivers or traded for fodder). Jackson encompasses some of what Fox likes in a QB. He's been in the league a couple of years, he's showing potential and he could be in line to replace Delhomme in a couple of years.

Quite honestly, it gives the offense another option in the red zone and I like more options. If you can't land the premier defensive stud (anyone drinking that kool-aid?), then you'd better be able to take advantage of your chances to score when you have them.

Hell to the f*ckin no!

[LiQuiD]

Did anyone notice that Delhomme picked up right where he left off in the postseason playoff game to the Cards?

We sure didn't. Of course we all watched with the TV on mute and our eyes were closed...

[BlindSite]

I like what I saw out of Tavaris but he'd be switching offenses which wouldn't be all that easy of quick of an adjustment.

[Mr. Scot]

So because McCown and Moore weren't great, we need to bring in another player that isn't great?

Pretty much.

We're talking about a guy the Vikings had so little confidence in that they replaced him with a 40 year old QB with a bum shoulder. If we're going to give up anything to get a guy, I want an assurance he's an improvement. Based on what I've seen of Jackson thus far, I'm not convinced that's true.

(and before anyone brings up Rosenfels, the answer's the same there)

[Kingpatecu]

Only if we're hiring janitors or water boys.

[Carl Spackler]

Our 3 QBs should be Jake, Moore and either Cantwell, or some other guy we pick up in FA, or McCown. In that order.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lt Pinkerton]

He is certainly more capable than our other backups, plus he actually has something called potential. Our QBs haven't had potential in forever.

[Mother Grabber]

According to columnist Charley Walters, Tavaris Jackson is expected to be traded or released by Friday.

Everyone knows Jackson is on his way out, but we're not sure about this Friday deadline. It could take a little while to get something done as the Vikings will probably want to see if they can get a fifth or sixth-round pick for Jackson

From Rotoworld. I'm not a huge TJ fan, but he does seem to be an upgrade over our current backups.

$$$

I'd like him for our backup but we're saving our pennies for a DT right now. If we figure out a way, sure. It's not like there's a dropoff from McCown to Jackson and we love reclamation projects.

[DaCityKats]

would love for him to come here....better than any back up we got now.there coach pulled him too fast
