Minnesota and Miami QB situation

Yes, but Collins wasn't a rookie, and knew the offense already. Plus, Brunell is done.

In Minnesota, I think Jackson gets the nod,. And until something terrible happens, is the QB. The Vikings are thinking playoffs, anf I don't think Booty is ready for that.

In Miami, I think the smart thing to do would be to start McCown. I personally believe he is a much better QB than some of these talking heads are letting on. But, if the offensive line isn't shored up, it wont matter. Plus, they don't really have much talent at reciever yet, so my guess is they'll let McCown take the beating, and we'll probably see Beck and Henne after McCown gets hurt.

If you look back, the best transition for new QBs drafted is to be behind a veteran for at least a year first before getting thrown in there - especially if you have a suspect line blocking for you.  The highly picked QBs that are thrown in right away really have a hard time getting used to NFL systems and usually go to teams that struggled the year before, so naturally will be rushed and hit more which further damages the confidence.

Both Minnand Miami need to start the veteran guys for at least the first 8 games (although i don't like john beck beind called "Veteran" here, but I don't think McKowen is the answer), let the new guys get used to how it works and use those guys as mentors, then go from there

Someone further up on the posts said that Jackson has been brittle? I dont think you can really say that he is brittle, because he suffered from a concussion, and a broken finger.

I think Jackson will continue to start, continue to run the offense, and be able to open the run game for the Vikings.

why are they always complaining about T-Jack...its not like he ever really had a qb's coach untill last year....He needs at least 2 yrs to really start to blossom. What you saw in denver when he brought the Vikes back was not a fluke. If childress lets Jack play his game he wouldn't be talked about not being the quarterback  in Vikes future. Cut the guy some slacks. He was thrown under the bus the year before and last years' season. Looks at his stats now compare to other quarterbacks....he has better stats than eli...and other quarterbacks.....NY stuck with Eli this long...and he got them the supabowl...so shut up about t-jack not being able to quarterback us into a supabowl....get back to me on this subject in 5yrs...How many games did Manning's won before they started really winning?
