LOL is that guy seriously a "football expert?" What a ****ing dweeb.

This guy said, "(Jackson) bounced back briallantly against Denver."

He was 16-31, with 2 TDs and 0 INTs (not bad TD/INT ratio). I hardly call that brilliant. Solid? Yeah it's solid. Then he goes on and raves about Donovan McNabb's assistant coaches in high school and bull****.

And my stamp on people that don't know what they are talking about (McShay, Davis) they quote other people and ask many other people their opinions because they don't have, or can't make their own.

I don't care what Bernard Berrian thinks. Berrian said he had faith in Rex Grossman too. Coaches and players will always be homers and back up their teammates, unless of course they are being honest and we don't like that (T.O.)

I like TO because he is honest. Sorry that was off topic.

I don't know if I would call it a brilliant performance but he did lead us back from a 17 point deficit all by himself in the forth quarter.

Assistant coaches in highschool? He was talking about how TJ's skill set is very similar to McNabb's and Childress was the offensive coordinator in Philly and our QB coach was a coach for Syracuse when McNabb was there.

All TJ has been getting is praise this offseason from coaches and teammates. They are all saying he worked extremely hard this offseason to get better and feels more comfortable leading the offense and calling audibles etc...

There wasn't this much praise for him last season. Everybody was saying he was a work in progress.

No QB does it "All by himself" especially not Jackson.

I heard the same BS about guys in the past like Rex Grossman and Joey Harrington. We're talking about practice. Not the game, we ain't talkin about the game...we talkin about practice. Practice. Practice, man...

I don't care about assistant coaches. I'm sorry. I really don't think that's a reason to brag about a player, nor do I think it is a very resourceful point of information...I actually think it is that sad thats how far out one would have to go to make Tavaris look good.

[Blazedestin]

And besides, they know very well they can't continue calling Tavaris Jackson "A work in progress", because Minnesota fans will rip their heads off.

When's the last time any coach has said "We have absolutely no faith in (QB) to carry our team this year."

I love that point blaze.

And I love it because, I hate the preseason talk. I hate it. "OMG he gained 50 pounds on his benchpress. X player is being a better leader and getting respect. Excuses left and right are why we lost last year."

I get sick of hit. We hear it every year. Put your pads on and play some ball. Stop talking. TAlk is cheap. Step up and make plays in real games. Then we can talk about how great you are.

[Blazedestin]

Actually, now that I think about it, I'd love to hear that one of these days.

Wouldn't it just be awesome if there were no politically correct answers. What if T.O. was a head coach?

"We have the worst runningback in the league. I wouldn't take him until the 9th round in my fantasy draft."

"The cheerleaders will be more interesting this season than our highlights."

"Yeah we drafted him No. 1 overall...but we're still going to suck for awhile.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

More like "Ya, I'mma be coachin' GETCHA' POPCORN READY!"

[Blazedestin]

I think if TO was a head coach, they'd have the rehab swimming pool filled with popcorn instead. And he would swim in it daily.

Adam Schein has always loved Tarvaris Jackson. He was saying the exact same stuff a year ago. He also made predictions that Cedric Benson and Rex Grossman would be going to the Pro Bowl.

Well there you go if that's the true. Then Adam Schein's credibility took a hit in my eyes.
