The Minnesota Vikings, with an 0-2 start to the season, are turning to veteran Gus Frerotte to bring them out of the hole.


No coach had more faith in his quarterback than coach Brad Childress had in Tarvaris Jackson, who has made 14 career starts. But Childress named Frerotte the starter for the remainder of the season, announcing the decision at his Wednesday media availability.

"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."

Geez, they are fucked. I knew they were ranked too high in the preseason polls but i figured they were atleast a playoff team. Guess not

good now bernard berrian will start getting me some FP

:rofl: Best Gus moment was him smashing in his neck on the wall, in celebration....

another scrambling qb bites the dust

Out for the rest of the season and then the Lions signed him the next season

theyve got two guarenteed wins against the lions so i wont say theyre totally fucked

may as well let tavaris start.....frerotte sucks

Should have signed Pennington or give Tampa Bay a call on Garcia. With Peterson and their defense they only need a QB that can manage the game to make the playoffs.

The Vikes should've either started Frerotte from the get-go and had Jackson learn some more backing him up or just have Jackson start, and open up the playbook for him. Bad start for the Vikes.

Racist comment. Nice. :rolleyes:

Garcia would be a good fit for the Vikes at this point. They should trade for him.

Probably too late now as it would take him a couple of weeks to learn the system.

They need someone to complete a pass here and there, like the Pats did against the Jets.
They don't need a superstar, they need to run the ball, and complete a few passes.
I don't know if Gus can do it. At 0-2, they can't afford int's this Sunday.

Racist comment. Nice. :rolleyes:


How is that racist? He said scrambling and there have been white scrambling QB's before... Tarkenton and Young were scramblers. :D

Mike McMahon a class *A* prime example of a shitty white scrambling QB.....

Anybody got the video of this guy smashing his head against the wall?

actually by saying it was racist makes hugo racist...i wasn't thinking it was racist but he was

the vince youngs and tavaris jacksons and mike vicks of the world aren't going to be drafted anymore...they aren't durable, they have no accuracy and don't have the makeup to be successful QBs in the NFL
