It’s not good time for Tarvaris to ask for a trade

As it has been rumored for long that Brett Favre will make his triumphant return as a Viking, it was also reported that Tarvaris Jackson is seeking a trade. In my opinion, he is not wise to do that.

Even if Favre joins the Vikings, he is just a short-term solution, whether it be one or two seasons. Like the late Steve McNair, Jackson was raw coming out of Alabama State and is still a work in progress. McNair succeeded because he had an opportunity to sit and watch until he was ready to play. Jackson is making progress not by wearing bears jersey, but his development isn’t on par with the Super Bowl readiness of this team.

So Jackson should be realistic. No one will trade for him with the intent that he will be a viable 2009 starter. I do not think there is market for Jackson based on his limited body of work. No matter how hard it is, he should learn to put his ego aside.
