Jackson 

It appears Tarvaris Jackson is in good position to be the Vikings’ starting quarterback when the season begins September 9th against Atlanta. Jackson was not spectacular but appeared capable during Saturday’s preseason loss at Seattle, while Brooks Bollinger made several mistakes while playing in the second half. Jackson has started every preseason game, but coach Brad Childress insists there is still a competition for the starting quarterback job. The Vikings close the preseason Thursday against Dallas at the Metrodome.
