going ATL, Ravens,Colts my upset pick is the VIKINGS... They got big pat coming back westbrook is fairly banged up, and this game will purley come on if andy reid mixes it up.. If he goes all pass no run like he did vs washington they will lose if he stays honest and mixes it up they will win.. Im going for the home team on this one and picking vikes by 3. I think Tjack will do enough I dunno why people hate on him so much , I wld rather have a qb that could move around then gus the statue in the pocket lol...
Jackson is innaccurate, thinks with his feet, not his brain. Rarely looks downfield when he's on the move. has poor footwork which equates to poor accuracy. His best game was the game against NYG, and even then he wasn't great. he gets by on Adrian Peterson, but that won't be enough come playoff time. The vikings never should've cut Thigpen.
hmmm I dunno what games you watched but I live in minney and have actually watched all the vikings games and compared to his first 2 weeks as the starter week 1 and 2 to his benching and coming back in the 2nd half of the lions game he was a totally diffrent QB in some cases hes still raw but he must be more accurate then Gus 12 tds 15 picks ( not excatly my pick for managing a game) and as far as thinking with his feet the only game where he has ran for anything was the ATL game and thats the worse game Peterson had all season not neccirly, tjack.. heres the stats for the last 4 games with tjack..
Passing Rushing
3 1/2 games
Yds Comp% Tds INT QB rateing
14 @DET W 20-16 8 10 105 80.0 1 0 143.8 3 -1 -0.3 0
15 @ARI W 35-14 11 17 163 64.7 4 0 135.5 3 3 1.0 0
16 ATL L 24-17 22 36 233 61.1 2 0 98.5 8 76 9.5 0
17 NYG W 20-19 16 26 239 61.5 1 1 88.5 1 -4 -4.0 0
So he had he had 741 yards passing 8 tds 1 pick a 63+ comp% and had a average of 125 qb rateing with only 70 yards rushing....
Dosent look like he thinks with his feet with me the only other qb to play the last 4 games with a higher QB rating was P Manning so ya.... I wouldnt say the giants game was his best game either.. Sorry for all the stats but I live and breathe Football and ive noticed a serious change between then and now..
on a side note no matter how many times i try to space it out the numbers just combine togther lol Where was Jackson in that playoff loss? 15 of 35? Maybe he got better at the end of the season for two games. If he only threw 10 passes in the Detroit game, you can't really say he had a great game there. And Arizona's D is known for being soft. I'll give you ATL and NYG though.
The Viqueens will never win the big one with Jackson at QB. Tyler Thigpen had a few great games to, but even though he's better than Jackson, he won't get the chiefs to the big game either.
