Tavaris Jackson spends his free time enjoying his family and spending time with his 5 month old son.
But sometimes when he watches sports shows, he hears critics questioning his position as starting quarterback.
He says he was the starter at the end of the season and until he hears differently from Coach Childress, he will continue to think that he is.
He says he is 100% healthy and he will play like someone wants to take his job away, just like he always has.

I think that this will be the year he turns the tables around. Agree?

I think he should prove that he knows how throw a football because last year he really didn't come close to that but he was tossed in the role and to be fair needs time if he's a rookie. Nowadays rookies don't get as much time to develop as years past anyone notice that?

Brady Quinn, and Jamarcus Russel have had a year to let it soak in. I think for most, the first year of a quarterback is not going to help your team, it's a project for the future. Ben Roethlisberger did pretty good.

No they dont. I think its because there is such a lack of quality qbs in the league that the rookies get thrown in to the wolves too early.
If Jackson is to stay as starter he will definitely have to show improvement this season. Childress keeps saying he sees something in him.

Tavaris has been bad, so far that's a fact, but The rest of the team is so darned good, his being bad really sticks out.
