Gus Ferrotte named Vikings quarterback.

Ron Burgundy · 09-17-2008, 12:03 PM

Starting 0-2 will do that I guess, kiss Tavaris Jackson goodbye for this season. It was reported on ESPN today.

I guess all of that Vikings Super Bowl talk is done

I didn't even know Gus was still active... As in I thought he ahd thrown in the towel a while back... But with the apparent lack of targets, one has to wonder where the Vikes will go this year in F/A and the draft...

When Frerotte becomes the "better" option, you are screwed.

If Gus doesn't pull through, we can only hope Childress is kicked to the curbside like Jackson.

....How did JD Booty not get the nod over Gus "The Skeleton" Ferrotte?

Ron Burgundy · 09-17-2008, 07:08 PM

I think the Vikings brass think that Gus gives them a chance to make a playoff push this year still, delusional or not. They do have a great defense and a great running game.

True, but...I think JD has a better arm in all honesty to hit Berrian

Because Booty royally sucked ass even against 3rd stringers in the pre-season:

I was wondering who else was on that roster. When I heard about Jackson I thought they coulda found a better option. Guess they shoulda snagged Favre...
Anyone know if A.P. is still starting thes week, heard something about a hammy issue.

VikesRule · 09-18-2008, 07:52 PM

Great move for us, IMO. I think this gives us a shot to at least win a few games with Peterson demanding 8 man boxes, Gus can at least make a few throws a game against single coverage and one safety deep.

You mean to tell me that Tavaris Jackson is not the next Tom Brady?!

NO that can't be true.

That is why I never bought the crap the talking-heads were selling about the Vikings taking the division from the Pack.

The thing is, he didn't have to be the next Tom Brady to make Minnesota a challenger for the division, he really only had to be Trent Dilfer...and well, it turns out he's not even in Dilfer's league.

The Vikings have some tough games ahead, I wouldn't count Travaris Jackson out for the season to soon.

Only way Jackson ends up back under center is if the Vikes fall out of play-off contention and Booty bombs.
