Brad Childress "leaning toward Tavaris"

[Dpantherman]

Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is leaning toward starting backup Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback Sunday as Brett Favre recovers from two fractures to his ankle, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune has reported, citing an NFL source.

And Favre has told acquaintances he isn't convinced Childress will let him play, according the NFL Network.

Asked if he thought he could play at New England, Favre said, "I wouldn't put anything past me, to be honest with you."

Yea, this is going back and forth until Sunday. Id bet Belicheat is prepping for Favre, as he should be.

Tarvaris Jackson cant be any worse than brett has been....he will be fine as long as they dont give him the pre school playbook they normally do

Childress will let Jackson play only if Favre says so.

tarvaris has shown flashes, but the lasting image I have of him is vs. the Eagles when he couldn't make the throws to win. If he had just been average in that game, the Vikings would have won, because the Vikings D was more than solid

How much you want to bet Favre starts, plays a couple series, then sits?

Childress is either:

A. Waiting for the league's investigation for Favre's Jenn Sterger dic-pics, and hoping for a suspension so he can save face for bringing in a guy who has been given too many chances.

OR

B. Has zero faith in TJ as anything but a backup, and was seriously stupid enough to think Favre could make his bad receivers good.

OR

C. Brett Favre's little bitch and doesn't even get reach arounds from him in the locker-room.
