I'm not emotionally ready for that, I don't think.

I think T-Jack can be a good #2. But that would mean we get a veteran free agent this off season and need to develop a young QB after he leaves. Will that be Jackson? I doubt it, but is it Booty? Or do we have to draft a QB early. (When we have so many other needs.) In addition to latte’s question, is John David Booty the QB of the future? I think T-Jack can be a good #2.

I drank those names out of my memory over the last several years. What would the Vikings success have been had they just signed Jeff Garcia as a Free Agent 2 years ago? He's my guess as the starting QB1 for week 1 next year with Jackson as QB2 with QB3 being filled by a 1st or 2nd round draft pick. (The Booty will get kicked to the curb) Newbie

Dilfer's previous job was as an immobile, fumble-prone QB. And he also worked in janitorial. My question is not whether or not the Vikings should seek out a better QB1 option next season (I think we're all in agreement that they *should*), but rather has T-Jack shown enough potential as a project to be a viable QB2 in a league that requires any team with playoff aspirations to have two viable QB options on its roster?
