Frustrations with Football

Ok, I got the chance to go see the Vikings play the Colts. I was excited. Both teams had the week one losses, so it should have made for a good game. And it did. The Vikings had six distinct scoring opportunities and scored on five. The problem is that they were all field goals. Ok, that's fine when your defense is dominating the Colts. Sooner or later, though, Peyton Manning is going to get hot. And he did. As anyone can see, the Colts won by a field goal at the end of the game.

Now to my big issue. In any other sport, and also in football but with other positions, if someone is having a bad game, they get subbed out. Even if Kobe Bryant is not as successful as he normally is, he will see fewer minutes on the floor. So, can anyone tell me why this isn't the same with a quarterback in football. Tarvaris Jackson proved that he COULD NOT put the ball in the end zone! He had SIX chances to do that! And I know, some of it may have to do with play calling, but some of the blame must fall on the guy taking the snaps. Brad Childress, you have two other QBs and one of them threw for the Vikes before and did a decent job. Try looking at some of the other players that can throw the ball. Maybe you'll be surprised. Bench Tarvaris for at least the first half of the next game and just see how your other QBs can do.
