If T-Jack plays this weekend, he will be even more inaccurate than usual.

It’s not that we want Kelly Holcomb to be the starting quarterback for the Vikings this weekend. It’s that if he doesn’t start, it means Tarvaris Jackson will – and that’s not going to be good for anyone.

Jackson has a broken finger on his throwing hand. That’s kind of a big deal. According to WCCO.COM, even Jackson himself says he can’t throw accurately without a healthy index finger,

"That's one of the most important fingers, besides the thumb, to throw the football. I don't want to be out there if I can't control the football."

Well said Mr. Jackson – have a seat right over here next to Ryan Cook.

Sit him down, let him watch, and maybe he’s ready in a couple of weeks. T-Jack struggles enough when he has four good fingers and a good thumb. A broken hand might mean a 1-15 performance with 11 yards passing, and 3 interceptions.
