Live by the Vikings, Die by the Vikings (a.k.a. Tavaris Jackson sucks)

In fantasy, I chose to start both Peterson and Taylor again. A strategy that worked the last couple times I used it but I forgot to take one thing into account; Tavaris Jackson sucks. Minnesota is a great story and generally a fun team to watch but they are going nowhere in the playoffs. You know why? Because Tavaris Jackson sucks. I know it was supposedly a "shoulder injury" that forced him to transfer from Arkansas to Alabama State but I would also bet that Houston Nutt came to the realization that Tavaris Jackson sucks. I mean, Alabama State? That's D-II! You couldn't play in a 1AA program?

Look at his numbers from Alabama State. He threw 64 TD's and 26 INT's in DIVISION II! The Viking's liked these numbers so much that they traded 2 3rd round picks for the 2nd round pick they used to take Jackson (at least they got the pick in on time thought, right?). Why? Well, Jackon did boast an impressive 4.72 40-time. Who gives a fuck? He's a quarterback. Maybe they should have made him take the Wonderlic instead.
"That is exactly what I see with Tarvaris Jackson, a guy who is a piece of clay and has all the skills." -Brad Childress
I'll take bets regarding which round the Vikings take a QB this year. When Woodson, Brohm or Ryan fall to them I won't blame them for grabbing them.

Lastly, the ASU campus is located in Montgomery, Alabama on JACKSON ST. Coincidence? I think not. Go Hornets!
