tjack beat out charlie whiteworst
Uhm no he didn't. He was awarded the starting role upon arrival. There was no competition and for Jackson that was a good thing because Whitehurst looked better in virtually every form and fashion in preseason. The FO had already decided they didn't want Charlie and Jackson was simply the beneficiary of that. Jackson in general has been very lucky to this point in his career landing in just the right system at just the right time. He has had more opportunities to prove he has what it takes more than any QB I have ever known and has yet to ever show anything that solidifies he deserves the opportunities he has been given.
He has been in functional systems in need of a starting caliber QB and systems that were capable of providing every element a QB could want to succeed. On the other hand Quinn has been cast in dysfunctional systems that would be lucky to even be able to identify a functional QB.
Again, I am not sold that Quinn has what it takes and most signs point towards him not but at least with Quinn we have the potential that he could improve. Jackson pretty simply, not so much and the level he is at is not someone I would expect to win half the games he plays unless the defense and running game completely carry him.
To be completely honest if Jackson didn't bring some strange VooDoo that creates some to fall head over heals in love with him I wouldn't mind him so much but for whatever reason it is, there is something about this guy that absolutely sucks people in and creates fans that somehow can't do math or correlate quantifiable QB skills. Even that wouldn't be so bad if they didn't become spoke persons in the Jackson plite. On what planet does Tarvaris Jackson deserve a super bowl ring more than Matt Hassebeck? More than anyone for that matter? No really, there are people that actually believe that he does, right here on this board. Handed everything while accomplishing nothing and somehow deserves the earth and moon. This is probably the biggest reason I would rather not have the guy around. I won't be surprised when Wilson has a bad game and these maroons start trying to justify starting Jackson.
