Frerotte To Start vs. Panthers
9/17/2008 | By Mike Wobschall, vikings.com
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress announced today that Gus Frerotte will replace Tarvaris Jackson as the starting quarterback on Sunday against the Panthers.
"I feel like we have an opportunity here that I don't want to let pass by," Coach Childress said. "Obviously we have a chance to have a successful season and I think so don't let things potentially slip away, what we're doing is I'm going to make a change at quarterback. I know full well that one position is not responsible and that everyone needs to step up, but I'm just not seeing right now the aggressiveness from Tarvaris that I saw throughout the offseason, training camp, the two preseason games he played in…part of it may be experience and I know Gus will give us that. And I know his approach will also lend itself to that."
