Opinion: Where We Discuss the Tarvaris Jackson Situation
What's even more unfortunate is that the Vikings, thanks to Brad Childress' infinite stubbornness and inability to evaluate the progress of his players, don't currently HAVE anything better at the quarterback position to turn to. There's absolutely no point in playing Kelly Holcomb...
