ZachEY Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 You'd think a team like that would have offered something for a 'warrior and winner' that we had at QB, the 2nd most accurate passer in league history, and all around great guy.

Irish Jet Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Brad Childress is simply throwing Jackson under the bus. He is the problem in Minny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in a dome, so 8+ games weather is not a factor. They have an awesome RB, so play action is IN PLAY. With Pennington, Minnesota beats Indy.

He'd be the perfect game manager for your team, and play-action is his specialty" Vikes GM: "No, we'd prefer to go with the inaccurate, under sized, mistake prone QB we drafted instead thanks."

Irish Jet Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Jackson hasn't been given a real chance this season at all. the play calling was sooooo conservative in both their opening games, it's unbelievable. They have the best running game in the league IMO, yet very rarely did I see them give Jackson a chance to utilize play action and throw the ball down field on 1st down. Instead they wait until 3rd down to throw, when the D knows the pass is coming. In the Indy game, If Shiancoe doesn't drop a perfectly thrown ball in the endzone and Bernard Berrian doesn't trip over himself when attempting to run under a perfectly thrown deep ball the chances are Minny are 1-1 and Jackson is still the starting QB. Overall, Jackson has had no help at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have done it last year... He should be getting help from the great running game but Childress will not let that be the case. They didn't utilize PA at all on 1st down last week, that's pretty ridiculous considering the circumstances. He was passing mostly in passing situations, Childress was not allowing the great running game to help the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I didn't think the playcalling was that bad, especially in the second half. The fact is Jackson had opportunities but kept misfiring. That's the real reason he got benched. Jackson looked really good a few times last year to me. But this year he seems to have really regressed. He doesn't really do anything that would give you hope right now. Last year he'd just make some really dumb rookie mistakes, but he'd actually hit open recievers and could extend plays a bit. This year he just gets taken down quickly, and will miss open recievers. The only good thing about Jackson right now is his throwing on the move. He throws very, very well on the move. Definitely one of the better QBs in the league in that regard. If you're going to blame Childress, it has to be for not running more bootlegs. I think teams would just quickly adjust to that though, the problem is he was really bad in every other facet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Did you watch the game? He looked decent, I'll give him that... b ut Helen Keller can play QB against the Cardinals. Thats why they put those guys back on the clipboard and with the 2nd team all week at practice. He might have the goods to start and succeed at some point - but he sure wont be the first guy to be yanked from 1st on the depth chart. Many QB's in Canton got that yank anywhere from once to a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
