Gus Frerotte not frerotten by the Vikings

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

Tarvaris Jackson out and Gus Frerotte in. The Vikings coaches have spoken.
Tarvaris can’t pass. This is news?
The move to Gus is a kick in the butt for Tarvaris. My guess is they want to fire him up, because they can’t be serious about Gus Frerotte taking them to the Division Championship.
“I’m just not seeing right now the aggressiveness from Tarvaris that I saw throughout the offseason, training camp, the two preseason games that he played in,” Childress said. “And part of it may be experience. I know Gus will give us that. And I know his approach will also lend itself to that.”
Jackson completed just 51 percent of his passes this season. He threw a game-ending interception at Green Bay that sealed the Packers victory and was partly responsible for the offense settling for five field goals and scoring no touchdowns in an 18-15 loss to the Colts.
Much to Tarvaris credit it seems to be working.
“I could easily hold my head low, keep my head down, you know, be a cancer to the team,” Jackson said. “I’m still frustrated and mad about the situation, but I’m going to use that as motivation to try to get better and just better myself for the future.”
Expect Gus to last 1 game and then Tarvaris to come back. The Vikings can’t win with only Adrian Peterson.
