Don't get too excited.
Tavaris Jackson, after all, was playing the starved Detroit Lions (no further explanation is needed).
Still, he completed eight of 10 passes, including the game-winning touchdown toss to Visanthe Shiancoe and finished with a personal-best 143.8 passer rating.
Not bad for a guy sworn to ride the bench so long as Gus Frerotte could stand.
Pending the health of Frerotte's back, Jackson may get his first start since Week 2 and that forgettable 18-15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Even if T-Jack somehow removes all doubt that he can be a starter in this league, no logical reasoning says he can be the starter in the postseason.
Jackson getting rattled in games + trying to be perfect=Playoff disaster not too disparate from that 41-Egg drubbing in 2001.
Frerotte makes more mistakes. That's because he takes more chances. A slower, less skilled Brett Favre, Frerotte slings the ball downfield without trepidation, remorse or hesitation. The thought of a poor throw or decision passes as a shooting star.
When Frerotte can stand, he, not Jackson, should lead.
