I have no idea who Bobby Wade is endorsing for president in ‘08, but I do know who he’s supporting for the all-important job of Vikings quarterback: Tarvaris Jackson.
Wade said of Jackson after Sunday’s loss in Denver:
A guy that put that type of work in this year. Fight through injuries. New offense. New players. That’s very rare to find, especially at that position. To have that thick skin and that short-term memory and to continue to play, I’m just excited to have Tarvaris, and I’m excited to see where he’s going.
Tarvaris definitely showed flair and command during the Vikings’ furious late rally against Denver. Unfortunately, his bad play through 3 1/2 quarters was a large part of why they needed to make a comeback in the first place. And he fumbled it in overtime, leading to the Broncos’ game-winning field-goal. We’ll have to see how things shake out this off-season.
