http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3593304
The Minnesota Vikings, with an 0-2 start to the season, are turning to veteran Gus Frerotte to bring them out of the hole.
No coach had more faith in his quarterback than coach Brad Childress had in Tarvaris Jackson, who has had 14 career starts. But Childress named Frerotte the starter for the remainder of the season, announcing the decision at his Wednesday media availability.

Add that to a dumbass coach with control issues,who is one of the worst play-callers in the league(thats why hey didn't let him call plays with Philly).Chlidress,because of a Qb that can't pass,was limited to keeping the ball on the ground (at least we have KICK_ASS runningbacks) and not able to call any pass plays because Jackson just couldn't get the job done. Throw in some recievers who can't seem to get open even though the defense is playing run on every play(they know Jackson sucks too and know that if they simply play run defense on every down,they have a better chance of stopping Adrian Peterson than getting burned deep by Tarvaris and his company of sleds). Childress,Jackson and the recieving corps are the problem.
Not sure if Frerotte is the solution (doubtful),but Childress had to do somthing (phonecall from above?). He sure as hell can pass better than Jackson,and he has been around a little longer (he is 37),but will surely lack the mobility.
