I don’t know about you, but while I was watching Sunday’s playoff game between the Vikings and Eagles, one thought kept entering my mind.  That thought was “How in the hell could the Chicago Bears lose the division to a team quarterbacked by Tarvaris Jackson?” Of course, I realize that the Bears actually once got to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman, so maybe I had no right to complain. Still, Tarvaris Jackson really, really sucks.

You know how I know he sucks? Well, it wasn’t just because Tarvaris completed only 15 of his 35 passes for 146 yards and a pick-six. No, it was because after only two games this season he was pulled by his head coach Brad Childress in favor of Gus Frerotte. I’m not the only one who shares this opinion either apparently, because after the game Frerotte said that the Vikings would have had a better chance to beat the Eagles had he been playing instead of Jackson.

From PRO FOOTBALL TALK:

“I just don’t know what to think right now,” Frerotte told Silver after Sunday’s game.  “It was a very frustrating experience, because I felt like I should’ve been the one playing.  That might sound selfish, but I think I would’ve given us the best chance to win.  I’m going home to St. Louis [on Monday] to be with my family and figure out where things stand, but the way things played out at the end really makes me question things.”

Citing unnamed team sources, Silver reports that Jackson had a “deer-in-the-headlights” vibe all afternoon against the Eagles, and that the team’s sideline was in “total disarray.”

All of this basically assures that Frerotte won’t be back in Minnesota next season, which would normally be a good thing, but since it means that Jackson will likely be back for the Vikings next year, it’s actually a bad thing. Well, unless your a Bears or Packers fan. Then it’s awesome.
