Benchings, backups, catastrophic injuries and a Cedric Benson sighting

By: SCUBA

Two teams started the season with high hopes, one team a Super Bowl pick, starting the rebuilding process with this years best draft.

Brad Childress and the Minnesota Vikings decided to end the Tarvaris Jackson project and opted to give QB Gus Frerotte the reigns to the 'purple' offense.

Tarvaris has been consistently boo'ed throughout the duration of his time on the field. Although, some Vikings fans feel Tarvaris has not been given a fair chance due to multiple injuries in his 3 short years in the NFL, most feel that he is no Donovan McNabb.

Brad Childress was the QB coach for the Philadelphia Eagles during McNabb's early years in the NFL. Childress who was very instrumental in drafting Tarvaris, felt he could mold him into the next McNabb.

After an 0-2 start and Childress feeling a little warmth in the 'hot seat', Childress had to make a change. This is not just a 'we'll see how Gus does moment', rather Gus "Frerotte would be the starter for the remainder of the season.", according to the Star Tribune.

The Vikings aren't the only one's heading into week 3 with a new starter at quarterback, the Kansas City Chiefs will bring in a fresh face. Tyler Thigpen has been announced as the Chiefs 3rd new starting QB in 3 weeks. Brodie Croyle with a seperated shoulder and Damon Huard suffering a concussion the Chiefs are left with a bad team getting worse.

And then of course there are the teams that will give anyone a chance or even a second chance. The Cincinnati Bengals come to mind....Chris Henry has done everything but buy drugs for Marvin Lewis' underage kids and still is welcomed back with open arms to the Bengals.

Now the Lions, desperate for a win but will settle for a close game, are taking a chance on the "baggage" players. Cedric Benson has popped up on the NFL radar, along with Shaun Alexander in the Motor City.

As an NFL team owner when do you draw the line and say "no we will not give this guy another chance in the NFL no matter how talented yet cell-block prone he is."?

As long as there are the Jerry Jones, and Al Davis' of the world we may never hear the word: NO.

I honestly believe Childress thought he would have Brett Favre as his QB right now and when that fell through he did not want to crush Jackson's confidence by bringing in another veteran. The bottom line here is the Vikings are an excellent football team and they need better play from the QB position. Gus Frerrotte is not a long term answer but he does give them a better chance to win.

The problem here is that Childress or "Chilly", like the locals like to call him, is a man of his word. He has always said that T. Jack is his "man". He hung his hat on the fact that he could mold T.Jack into the next great QB. Chilly never admitted to being an influential person in obtaining Farve, but we all know how much the organization wanted him.

Through it all he stuck to his guns and had T.Jack's back.....now they have to make due with Gus....which is probably a better choice.

Edwards sees the move as giving Johnson more responsibility but could also help Johnson bring the player back to the position in which he enjoyed his most successful football days while at Texas.
“He might be more comfortable in there because he played in college there,” Edwards said.
My question is why did the Chiefs move him to outside linebacker to begin with? Because of his speed? Because of Kawika Mitchell last year? The Bears are in a cover-2 and Urlacher seems to be doing OK over there....seriously the Chiefs should have made this move years ago.
