Fragile Tav
Will Minnesota Viking backup QB Gus Frerotte get a chance to pull a come-from-backup dream season a la Randall Cunningham in '98? Well the dream season will be up to the team to bring about. But the chance for him to play a role in it seems pretty good, considering, Vikings starting QB Tarvaris Jackson is injured again. This time from bumping his knee in the pre-season game against the Ravens. By all accounts Jackson looked good in his last pre-season outing. But a starting quarterback doesn't remain a starter by spending as many games out with an injury as Mr. Jackson seems to be making a habit of. And this is when he's young and at, presumably, his physical peak. Imagine how quickly he'll be crumbling when the big three-oh draws closer.
It's rather striking considering all the hoo-ha over Brett Favre the past month, when you consider he started every game for 16 years, and Fragile-Tav can't string more than a few games together in any season without becoming incapacitated somehow. Incidentally I hear Daunte Culpepper is still available. Think he and Chilly are in the mood to kiss and makeup either before or after Jackson goes into full traction this season?
