That would have been a total scream if Gus got the Vikes to the playoffs. I would only get half the heat I do now for liking him!!!!!!

Lets not have revisionist history Tarvaris wasn't playing that bad when Childress made the switch AND the switch was widely blasted as the wrong move by ESPN and NFL network football crews.
Go back and look at Tarvaris 2008 numbers: 1,056 yards 7 TDs 2 Ints 95.4 QB rating and Jackson DIDlead them into the playoffs down the stretch when he was one of the better QBs in the NFL:

As far who's better its a tough call b/c Jackson he's been playing for a much better team then Campbell, i would probably give the nod to Campbell but both he and Jackson are victims of inaccurate fan perceptions as your post illistrates.
