Protect the football.

That theme is one of the preaching pillars Minnesota Vikings coaches have used this summer to prop up the learning curve for their young quarterback, Tarvaris Jackson....

It's really important Tarvaris plays 16 games this year. He has to protect himself. Hopefully he isn't as brittle as some are painting him. QB's traditionally are the toughest guys so buck up Tarvaris, and get the hell down to live for the next play.

I for one want to see him play more than 16.

:D Good point.

I am still sticking to my beliefs that the only reason that there is a question about whether or not Jackson is going to play is because it is a preseason game.
If it was a regular season he would be out there.

Bell did a decent job with this article.
I like how Phat Pat is professing his man-love for Tarvaris.
