Jackson trade market? Earlier this week, Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post reported that he had "been hearing talk" that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson might ask for a trade when the team ends its soap opera/charade and signs Brett Favre. As usual, Lombardi has his antennae up in the right direction, because the rumors are more than just talk. Barring a dramatic change of heart, Jackson will indeed seek a trade when Favre ends his retirement for a second straight summer, sources say. Would there be any kind of market for Jackson's services? Probably not a huge one, but there will be some teams compelled to explore him. Jackson is only 26, has some starting experience now, and is probably better than a lot of the backups in the league. And last season, in his third year, Jackson demonstrated solid improvement in his last four starts (including the playoffs). Most notable was that Jackson's yards per attempt -- a key measuring stick for many personnel men -- improved by nearly a yard. In the first 16 starts of his career, Jackson averaged 6.2 yards per attempt. In the final four, the average rose to 7.01 yards. The former second-round draft choice certainly still has a lot to learn. But he's got a strong arm, can buy time in the pocket with his feet, and has been a starter for 20 games. Those attributes are likely to tempt some team.

Dude's a bum.

Jackson has proven to be a pretty reliable quarterback and can show consistency. The guy has gotten a bad wrap since he was drafted for several reasons...starting with the fact that he is a "Michael Vick-esque" quarterback.

Watch as many Vikings' games as I do & you'll see how horrible/predictable play calling & a ton of dropped passes weren't helping Tarvaris at all. The dude can be accurate & though he's a mobile quarterback, he's a hell of a lot better throwing from inside the pocket.

Again, I want nothing to do with Favre.

Ya I dont really got a problem with Jackson. Fortunately hes going to get the opportunity to learn a bit from Favre. Their not going to trade him because they know Favre staying there for more than 2 years is highly doubtful and I dont see them wanting to draft someone instead.

They'll keep this guy as a reliable backup and hope he can learn enough to take over in a year or two.
