Rosenfels in close competition with Jackson
Source (fanball.com)
(QB - nyj) | 0 comments.
The competition between Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson has been heated at OTAs this past weekend, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Our View: Head coach Brad Childress' liking of Jackson has been well documented throughout the past few years, though Rosenfels looked good this weekend and does have the bigger contract. At this point it looks like the Week 1 starter is anybody's guess, though a possible Brett Favre return would put both men on the backburner.

Jackson thinks QB battle is at 50-50

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that Tarvaris Jackson believes the quarterback battle between him and Sage Rosenfels is at 50-50 right now. "We're going to fight for it as hard as we can," Jackson told the paper.
Our View: This could all be a moot point if the Vikes land Brett Favre, but it would seem like Jackson would have the slight edge since he has been in the system longer. Rosenfels is probably the better quarterback, but Jackson has more upside.

First, a Brett Favre prelude. A semi-brief Favre prelude. I don't know what he's going to do. But I, like some of you, am suspicious. There's no good reason to ask for his release from the Jets unless it's to leave open the option to play again. I am told he may be feeling the urge to play again.
