The Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was extremely disappointed when his starting job was taken away to Brett Favre when the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer arrived in middle of last preseason, but Jackson now knows well he is still young and has chance to win the starting job back while Favre’s time already in countdown.
With that knowledge, Jackson’s attitude towards anything Favre is now doing or permitted to do is calm enough to get himself work hard in preparation for the upcoming season. He did not complain at all when Favre did not show for any of this offseason’s workouts and has made it clear that he will also be fine if Favre continues to miss the training camp.
“If he doesn’t show up to Mankato, sign the same time he did last year, that’s fine, that’s more reps for me, Sage (Rosenfels) and Joe (Webb),” Jackson told Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “We just basically try to take advantage of it. When he comes backs, be ready mentally and just know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s going to be a long season.”
Talking about the possibility of Favre’s return, Jackson is confident that the quarterback will return to start with the Vikings for another season. What if he does not return? Jackson laughed and joked that he would wear Terry Bradshaw jersey for the whole training camp.
