Pros and Cons of a 2-5 Team

PRO
Maybe Tarvaris will start.  As he showed in garbage time yesterday, he can actually move.  That 20 yard scramble was so foreign to me I thought Percy Harvin had to switch jerseys for some reason. 

CON
He's still Tarvaris Jackson.  If Tarvaris was ever even a decent option, why beg for Favre?  Why were Vikings fans clamoring for him before the 2009 season?  Are people's memories that short?  (Yes, they are.)

PRO
Maybe the time off did Tarvaris good.  He's only 27 years old.  Time on the sideline worked for Romo, Rodgers, Rivers, even guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kyle Orton.  Remember, a young quarterback making an immediate impact is the exception, not the rule.  There are only so many Matt Ryans and Sam Bradfords to go around. 

CON
Or maybe being coldly shunted aside totally destroyed his confidence and the rust will be too thick to shake off. 

PRO
Adrian Peterson is still a reason to watch every week no matter what their record is.

CON
Toby Gerhart is not.  It's amazing to see AD get these 8 yard gains from seemingly nothing, while Gerhart is lucky to get 1 yard.  It could be only a matter of time to break out the B-word for him.

PRO
Percy Harvin is still a reason to watch every week no matter what their record is.

CON
I missed Pat Williams' funeral.  Luckily for us, they never buried his corpse, so we still have a chance to say goodbye.  See also: Asher Allen's ability to tackle.

PRO
One bad loss away from the Brad Childress Era coming to a close, several bad losses away from a shot at a quarterback in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

CON
They have the same record as the Detroit Lions.  And have scored 54 less points.
