Minnesota Vikings: No Rift Between Players on Quarterback Job

The has been multiple national reports stating that the Minnesota Viking’s locker room is divided over who they think is best equipped at the quarterback position for them to win.

Some players are said to be backing Tarvaris Jackson and others are behind veteran Brett Favre.  But the reality seems to be far different, based on conversations with Viking’s players and coaching staff.

There’s nothing to suggest there’s any sort of split, rift, or divide in the Minnesota locker room.

Head Coach Brad Childress and all-pro running back Adrian Peterson said they didn’t sense any widespread split emotions in favor of Jackson or Favre.

Tarvaris Jackson has friends on the team that want to see him succeed and have a productive career with the Vikings, and that is surely to be expected as he enters his fourth year with the franchise.

After Jackson’s performance in the Vikings last game at home against the Kansas City Chiefs, you knew there may be some grumblings of the Favre signing.  Jackson went 12 of 15 for 202 yards and two touchdowns. 

This while the newest Minnesota quarterback (Favre) went 1 of 4 for four yards.

But as always, there is a difference between friends and business.

The players, as of now, seem to be on board with Brett Favre being the starting quarterback.  His leadership and knowledge of this West Coast offense team give them the best shot at victory. 

Only time will tell if there is a mutiny against him.
