Tarvaris Jackson haters look at the chart!

[IlliniVikeFan23]

TJ's QB rating has been better than the AVG of all those QB's. You guys are expecting way to much out of him so early. Give him time...He will get better. Not to mention he was supposed to be considered a "project" coming out of a D-2 school.

[PuppyPuncher]

None of these QBs had Jackson's line or Adrian Peterson in the backfield.

[PuppyPuncher]

I don't like how this chart gets to pick and choose what numbers from what years to use either.

[MMONTERO]

Yeah there are a lot of scientific problems with the chart. But just as a general rule of thumb, it's obviously too early to judge Jackson. Vikings fans need to exercise a little patience.

[scar988]

wow. pick and choose to make things look good. how about putting in Peyton's rookie year? or Marino's 2nd year?

[Matt McGuire]

Nearly every one of those QBs didn't have the luxury of the west coast offense.

[Walter]

He was horrible down the stretch

[MMONTERO]

He was horrible down the stretch

Yeah but the same could be said for most quarterbacks' first season starting. I think we need to give him another year before we just say he sucks.

[49ersfan]

I don't think so. He was a mistake and they should move on and put in JDB.

[regoob2]

Dont sugar coat it he looks horrible! I would take every starting QB in the league over him if I had to win a game right now and down the road.

[phenomenal_waffles]

Don't try to influence anyone. They drafted JDB for a reason.

[xooberon]

None of these QBs had Jackson's line or Adrian Peterson in the backfield.

huh, the vikings have a terrible pass protecting line and in the games peterson missed they won with jackson at QB

[regoob2]

huh, the vikings have a terrible pass protecting line and in the games peterson missed they won despite jackson at QB

fixed that for ya

[jimmyp]

Even with picking and choosing the years from those well known QBs Jackson TD:INT ratio still sucks.

[huskers3333]

That chart is bogus because you just chose the worst year of those guy's first three, and you put it against Tavaris Jackson's best (which still sucks).
