I know we all kinda thought this might happen. But week 3? Yikes. Tavaris Jackson has been pulled in favor of backup Gus Frerotte for the remainder of the season.
Here's a quote for you:
"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."
In short, Tavaris Jackson is out, Gus Frerotte is in, and Childress kind of looks like a fool. Two weeks ago, Tavaris Jackson was the man. Now, he's backing up a career journeyman whose best years were 96-98 with the Redskins. And even those years weren't great ones.
Still, Frerotte can manage an offense, even if his judgement leaves something to be desired. I guess this makes the question worth asking: are the Vikings better after this decision?
