Jackson to start, Childress says

Vikings coach Brad Childress said Tuesday that rookie QB Tarvaris Jackson will start, confirming a story the Pioneer Press first reported Monday night.
"The future is the future but he'll give us the best chance to win right now," Childress said.
When reporters intially entered the locker room, Jackson said he did not know whether he would start or not. But later, when informed that Childress had announced him the starter, Jackson relished the moment.
"It'll feel great," Jackson said. "Especially playing in Green Bay and against Brett Favre. I'm just glad coach made the decision and that he feels comfortable enough to put me in the game."
