Question

Can John David Booty take the starting QB job for Minnesota?

Answer 1

No, not this year.

Answer 2

I am both a Vikings and USC fan.  Realistically, NO.  Not this year for sure.  He is too raw and the team is committed to Jackson.  If something happens to Jackson, it will be Gus' job.  JDB is one for the future, if at all.

Answer 3

NO. He did not do well in training camp,I dont think he played in the first preseason game.And I heard he might not even make the team.

Tarvaris Jackson has been playing well. There is no way he will be the starter.

Answer 4

No, he's way too raw of a rookie.  I didn't think he was that great of a QB at USC to be honest.  I guess compared to Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart it's hard, but still.  He's the type of QB that will need a few years in the league minimum to be effective.

Answer 5

i doubt it. He has been a system QB since HS. USC's offense is easy to put up big #'s(especially against porous PAC-10 defenses) and evangel HS has always produced overrated QB's that didn't do much in the NFL.

Answer 6

depends on how tavaris jackson plays.

Answer 7

If Jackson starts to stumble early and show no signs of improvement from the offseason Booty could get his shot at this one.He has all the mechanics of a good starting quarterback and ability to get the job done in pressure situations.Minnesota couldnt get Favre or a good value qb so look at this to be an chance for Booty to steal the job.

Answer 8

Umm..did you watch the preseason game?  T-jax was sharp while Booty showed that he is a rookie!

Answer 9

Maybe in a couple of seasons. But not this year. it is T-Jacks year. he is going to have a hard time handing the ball top ADAP.
