Article
Clayton focused on anointed Viking's QB of the future, Tarvaris Jackson. I didn't realize that (1) Jackson didn't come from a Div. I-AA school, but (2) got there as a way of avoiding a QB competition at Arkansas with now-NFL receiver Matt Jones. Huh. And this guy is the Vikings' savior? Well, that seems to be the big question. The Vikes have the left side of their O-line set, two nice running backs (though Chester Taylor got nicked in camp), a suspect receiving core, and run the west coast offense. Can Jackson run it? That's the question.
Insider Observations
Funny that Brooks Bollinger's name wasn't brought up in the previous article, because Clayton's top observation is that he could challenge Jackson for the starting spot. Huh. Sounds like the classic case of 'two quarterbacks means no quarterbacks.'
Two quality running backs in a west coast offense - either one (or both) of the backs isn't going to get many carries, or look for a new-look, run-heavy version of the west coast offense. How do you not take advantage of your two best offensive weapons just because your offensive scheme dictates more passes?
Sounds like the Vikings have "two of the most imposing defensive tackles in the game", and some questions at defensive end.
