The Minnesota Vikings bench Tarvaris Jackson
The Vikings have benched QB Tarvaris Jackson and they have replaced him with veteran Gus Frerotte. This was the right move for the Vikings to make as they couldn’t keep waiting around for Jackson to do something. Jackson started both games this season for the Vikings and he completed 30 of 59 passes (50.8%) for 308 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception (64.8 QB Rating). He also carried the football 10 times for 66 yards (6.6 ypc) and lost a fumble. The Vikings only averaged 154.0 yards passing per game and 17 points per game in the first two games of the season and that just isn’t good enough. Frerotte should be able to get the ball to the WRs as most teams cheat against the Vikings with 8 or 9 men in the box.
