It is confirmed today that Tarvaris Jackson has more fans than just Kyle Parsons

ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports today:

Many Vikings are excited to have Brett Favre as their quarterback. But there also are players in the Vikings’ locker room that believe Tarvaris Jackson gives Minnesota the best chance to win…Jackson is popular among his teammates, and clearly has his supporters.

This really isn’t much of a surprise. Jackson has gone through the OTA’s, mini camps, training camps, and games with this team for the past four years. He’s shown commitment to the Vikings and has gained respect from some teammates, even enough to say he should start over Favre. It’s logical for people to show loyalty to someone who has put in the time and effort to an organization than to someone who has just arrived.

The Minnesota Vikings organization gave Brett Favre big money and more importantly, a commitment, to be their starting quarterback. While the front office commits to #4, not everyone in that locker room has that same thought. Will personal loyalties impact play on the field? I doubt it, but then again what do I know. Winning certainly cures all in sports, so if Favre is putting up wins, it could all be moot.
