The Facts:
WR Bobby Wade had an interesting response Saturday when asked about the timing he was developing with Jackson. Said Wade: “You know the timing’s really important for every single one of our receivers, the timing with Tarvaris, and Sage [Roesnfels] for that matter but especially Tarvaris knowing he’ll be pretty much the named starter going into the season so timing is everything in this offense.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Say what? Does Wade know something we don’t? As far as the team's public stance goes, the battle for the Vikings’ starting QB job between Jackson and Sage Rosenfels won’t really heat up until the team plays its first preseason game on Friday in Indianapolis. And it’s expected the competition will take a few more weeks to play out following that game. ... Unless Wade is indeed privvy to information the rest of us aren't. ... As Star Tribune staffer Judd Zulgad suggested, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if Jackson does win the job, but the way Wade phrased his response it appears Jackson might have more of a leg up in this competition than we thought.
