This guy is a washed up vet. Kinda like Favre but much worse.

I think Childress got a call from the owner saying make a change of you are fired. Jackson is horrilbe and just doesn't have what it takes to be an NFL qb. However, Gus is a journeyman qb and is not going to save the Vikings season. Carolina looks good at +3.5 this week.

They are "Pulling A Dilfer".....put a vet in that won't give you a lot, but just enough to not screw it up for the defense, special teams, and the running game.

I'm staying away from CAR +3.5 because Berrian and Peterson are going to see gains from this change, and although CAR is improved....I think they will get man handled by the OFF and DEF fronts of MIN.

I actually think this is a good move because at least Frerotte can throw the ball forward.

I mean, the Vikes should have beaten the Colts and they were not embarrassed at Green Bay. I like the Dilfer comparison in that Gus won't HURT you. I like Minny this week,
