It's never been proven to me that Jackson can't pass. I've only seen him have the opportunity to pass when it's fully expected. Frerotte got to pass through out the whole game. Childress and Bevell knew their asses were on the line once they couldn't push the blame on T-Jack so they opened the playbook up more..simple as that. One Frerotte gets a concussion and/or injured, you'll see the real Tarvaris Jackson.I'm guessing that was play-calling by the people who see both T-Jack and Frerotte passing every single day. They trusted what Gus could do and didn't trust what Jackson could do. You yourself said play calling is a big part of the game, so apparently someone realized that the plays that Jackson knew and could execute fairly reliably were not good enough to win the game.

Want to explain to me what Tjacks rating is of passes 20 yards or more? Thats passes caught 20 yards away from the QB, not passes caught for 5 yards then ran for 15+. It's at about a 5. Lowest in the league. Want to know what else, TJack ranks bottom 5 in every stat that counts.Tjack would never have completed the passes to Berrian and Shiancoe(im still shocked he caught that TD)..and Gus's 1 pick was a ball that a receiver making Berrians money catches. Gus just has better touch on his down field passes. Tjack doesnt. hell Tjack has no touch on his 5 yard slants or outs. theyre all at the receivers shoe laces.
Face it. Youre fighting a losing battle here, TJack sucks. He could be cut tomorrow and wouldn't be worth a shit to all 31 other teams in the league, none the less be their starting QB

We scored ONE offensive touchdown with Gus replacing TJack, and that was only because it was that once-in-a-decade instance where Shiancoe actually caught the ball. I'm not saying TJack was the man, but we didn't win that game because of Gus, we won it because of the defense. We didn't lose because of Gus Frerotte, which was more than I can say for TJack.
Why are so many people calling for Booty? Is it just because of his last name?

No because you don't get to become quarterback at USC for nothing... The kids got talent.

most emotional game. cheering for bush's td's to get chillys ass fired to Gus leading the team on 2 drives for scores.
Chilly still sucks.
Tjack still sucks.
Gus showed plenty of guts and leadership after taking those hits.

Is it me... Or does our Special teams, particularly the return side really suck ass!?!?
I think I've caught 3 different punt/kick-off returns alone so far this year.
And I start watching, watch them start to lose and change the channel LOL
