The Vikings won their fifth in a row last night, but the jury is definitely still out on Tarvaris Jackson. His inability to make two or three critical throws and his incredibly boneheaded interception at the end of the first half were the difference between barely pulling out an ugly win and blowing out the Bears.
When the other team is as committed to shutting down the run as the Bears were last night, your quaterback doesn't have to be great to take advantage of the opportunities. He only has to be average. Last night, Jackson wasn't even that.
In Adrian Peterson, the Vikings clearly have a running back of the future. I'm very skeptical that they have the same at quarterback with Jackson.
