While people are discussing about Brett Favre’s decision on his possible return or retirement, the Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is preparing for any possible situation with or without Favre.
After getting a new contract from the Vikings to get out of free agency, Jackson has made it clear that he is happy to continue wearing Vikings jersey. Saying that he used to think about change for a while but finally found his best choice is to stay with the Vikings, Jackson told reporters that Vikings are the only organization he had ever known and the only team that could offer him best opportunity. The opportunity very likely refers to the chance of being starting quarterback in case Favre does not return.
As about the situation without Brett Favre, there has been consensus that Jackson would compete for the starting job with the other backup Sage Rosenfels. It’s also commonly recognized that head coach Brad Childress would prefer Jackson to Rosenfels as he already won the job once last season but had to move back to back up because of Favre’s sudden mind change.
Talking about this season, Jackson made it clear that this time he won’t be caught off guard, as he is prepared for either playing as backup or starter. He added that he thinks Favre will any way return with the team. Well, whatever, that’s a good attitude for a No.2 quarterback of the Vikings.
