Vikes could give QB Tarvaris new deal?

If Tarvaris Jackson continues on pace, it would seem the Vikings could use that $15 million in guaranteed money to sign Tarvaris to a six- or seven-year deal and not have to worry about signing another QB at a high price. The Vikings chose Jackson in the second round of the 2006 draft with the 64th overall pick. If it was a risk, Brad Childress said, "it was a calculated risk. You measure, and you see what you like and what you don't like. And then you've got to surround that guy with good players. A guy can look bad if you don't have a line to protect him. -- Pioneer Press

ahahhahahahahahahhahahaha......................... .........wow that wasw......................ahahhahahahhaha


are you kiding he is fricken terrible I have no idea what they see in him. Any decent QB can be good with AP and Chester. Those are two starting backs on almost any team. I hope they do though it is a worse signing than Cledius Hunt.

I'd like to think Tarvaris Jackson for giving them such a tough decision.

[MJZiggy]

And to top it off, Childress just insulted his own offensive line. Way to get guys to respect and wanna play for you.

Plus, what is he evaluating? Do you really think it's the line as much as it is TJ's head spinning on a platter with all the stuff he has to process in his brain at a young age? When he has struggled, it's looked like he holds the ball too long and has not yet developed the timer in his brain for how long to hold it as well as a sense of the rush. Also when he has struggled, his accuracy has not been that good. How in the world is that the problem of the O-line?

[The Leaper]

Yikes.

A guy has a few good weeks, and you are ready to commit to him long term? With AP there and a pretty good OL, why not wait until after the season to see what free agent QBs become available before throwing money at Jackson?

It isn't like Jackson is going to be a free agent.

Comon, you guys are normally better than that. ONE newspaper guy makes some wild speculation and you guys start acting like it's fact. Where did ANYONE in the Vikings organization say they re-doing his contract?

Not to mention, the Pioneer Press is garbage. I NEVER believe any of the crap they spew. They are not going to re-do his contract as he is still locked up on his rookie one for awhile. Dumb.

Well if they threw a chunk at him as a roster bonus and attached it to this years cap and had his annual at ~$1mil/per, that would be a good move for a starting QB. If he doesnt pan out, they are out that bonus, but it wouldnt kill their cap for the future in the least.

Oh,you'll never see me say "look, it's fact!" when I post that stuff from PFT.com.


Anyway, not sure what Jackson has left on his contract but even if he fails down the stretch I'd keep him as a developmental guy for a couple more years.

[lod01]

It's a good thing they are stupid. Once other teams get enough game film of this hack, he will look like the 2nd coming of......week 2 2007 Tavaris Jackson.

[The Leaper]

I didn't see any fact in there...just a bunch of "coulda, woulda".

I was directing my comments at whoever came up with the crazy idea. I'm pretty sure the Vikings aren't going to sign a very unproven QB...who is still under contract for at least a couple more years...to a new long term deal based on what we've seen so far.

If they did, Ras will need to start thinking about becoming a Packer fan.

Then whats with with the "boy are they stupid" comments if it was just "could is the key word"? Eh? That was my only point which I thought you might pick up on immediately.
