Thread: JDB running the 2nd team?

???
I'm speechless...I know you can't believe everything you read but I caught this on the FoxSports website this morning..

Tavaris running Vikes scout team
Tarvaris Jackson, who started the season as the Vikings' No. 1 quarterback, is running the scout team now. -- Pioneer Press

QB in the draft anyone?
I don't believe TJax got a legitimate shot at making this team his but this clearly spells out his fate.
Maybe we could try taking someone from a D-1 school this time.
I guess at this point all thats left to say is.....GO JDB!

link please !!
tried looking but can't see one for it

Then why was TJ in when Frerotte went down for a play?

BS is what i think

I searched and cant find it either... ???

Link Please. It would not suprise me if it was true though. ;D

Look at the guys name and his post count... I call BS as well.
Is Booty even dressing for games?
Camera never seems to find him but they sure find TJ wearing the headset.

Booty was dressed Sunday

Looks to me like we have another fan struck by the infamous "ballboy syndrome."

The Minnesota Vikings have declared OL Drew Radovich, LB Erin Henderson, TE Jeff Dugan, QB John David Booty, DL Letroy Guion, FS Madieu Williams, CB Marcus McCauley, RB Maurice Hicks inactive for Week 1.

Figures....I was hoping it was true!
Not to wish TJ bad luck,but it would have meant Booty was improving quickly....

Is it even such an odd thing for Jackson to run the scout team offense?
I'm not so sure the logical assertion from Jackson running the scout team to Booty running the second team is valid.
Granted, I know very little about how an NFL practice session works, but is it unheard of for a more athletic and experienced QB to be the one the first team prepares against? I think Jackson would be a pretty good fit as both second on the depth chart and the scout team qb.

I honestly don't really know what i'm talking about though... so, there's that.
