Jackson, Frerotte, Booty: Vikings looking better under center

While fans obsess over Tarvaris Jackson's stress-induced jump passes, Gus Frerotte's AARP status and the origins of draftee John David Booty's surname, I'm going to swim upstream against the flow of negative opinion and guess that the Vikings could be just fine at quarterback this year.

Birk, Mozes, Sullivan...Vikes are looking better AT center as well.

LMFAO!

The departure of Troy Williamson could be worth two victories all by itself.

look's like Gus Frerotte has alot of teaching to do, but like said if Troy Williamson had not of dropped those balls then TJack would be looking so much better as a QB.
then again the only way to prove it is to do better this season the guy's in charge have done well in the offseason so far, now the player's on the field need to do some hard work too.

The interesting thing I have seen is all the articles that are about praising the Vikes selecting Booty. Despite him being a fifth round pick he seems to gained for more interest out of any of our picks this year. Sounds like TJ is going to be pushed in Training Camp to get himself set for the season, definitely a make or break season for him.

Reason why Booty is getting all the attention is T Johnson is a DB, and we've brought in Madieu (too many Williams to use the surname) and Boulware, plus the existing players didn't have as poor a year as TJ did.
Same with Guion at DT.... Williams's were Pro Bowlers
Sullivan will be behind Birk .... Pro Bowler
JJ at WR...
if we didn't have more than enough receivers on the roster... he will just be fighting for a spot.

Thus, Booty being a QB, coming out of USC, having won 2 Rose Bowls, etc.
combined with TJ's struggles last year makes it a HOT TOPIC
