Pat Williams is one of the leaders of the Vikings, and this can't be good for Jackson's future...
"Pat Williams, one of the most prominent veteran leaders on the team and a Pro Bowler, doesn't think Jackson is putting in enough effort. "I talk to Tarvaris all the time (and) tell him you have to put in the time," Williams said during an appearance on Sirius NFL Radio, as per the Pioneer Press. "This ain't college no more. This is the NFL. You have to put in more time than you are used to putting in. If you are putting in four hours, you have to put in eight. You have to put in more time than what he's doing. I think if he puts the right time in, he will be a great quarterback in the league (ESPN)."
Could have been worse, but it is not a good sign that you "starting" QB isn't putting in the time needed to learn the playbook and become the QB the Vikings have been waiting for. Jackson has a lot of the tools, but his accuracy needs to improve, and it seems like at times he gets lost in a play. That usually means he is not comfortable with the playbook. There have been countless rumors about who will be the Vikings QB next year, but as of right now Jackson is still the most likely. Even thought I am not a big fan I do think he is better then Favre and Sage Rosenfels, but if he can't get the team leaders on his side then he isn't going to get much done...
