Wentz QB1 vs PHI, Brosmer QB2

[pattersaur]

McCarthy emergency 3rd QB. Blake Brandel starting at C.

Per KO.

KO kept saying JJM is progressing, etc... Didn't say whether he was talking about the injury or rookie struggles. Hmm.

EDIT- Okay at the very end of the presser O'Connell did refer to getting JJM where they want to get him at, "health-wise".

Armchair take- I'm sticking with my prediction that JJM starts against the Chargers. TNF homefield advantage is massive and the Chargers are a good but not elite team. It's a decent spot to get him back out there. But in reading the tea leaves (can't believe I'm saying this...), I think whether or not we see McCarthy in six days hinges on how well Wentz acquits himself against Philly. Wild times in Vikingland as always.

QB3 doesnt sound like a lot of progression at first blush...

Would you consider it a progression if we went from "JJM's too injured to take the field, and Cam Akers is our emergency QB" to "He's less injured and now can take the field in an emergency capacity"?

The progression was referring to how far JJM is or isnt in his come-back...A tell to me was whether he was QB2 or 3 this week.

What was your favorite JJ McCarthy moment?

I kid, I kid!

That says a lot that he is not even the #2 this week. There was some speculation not until after the Chargers game, could be latter than that.

When we take the field Sunday, from Kwesi's drafts, out of the 28 players taken, if Jackson plays, we will have 2 starters and less than half of them on the current roster. Taking into consideration the bad trades and the picks we gave away to get Turner, it is just amazing draft record.

KAM's drafts have stunk but I'm more concerned with our actual record rather than our draft one. Could be 4-2 after Sunday.

That's fair.  Probably means he's too injured to really do much, so not sure why they let all this speculation build up if he wasn't really that close.

I'm now choosing to believe the random redditor's friend that JJM couldn't walk up the hill convincingly. He's probably still a couple weeks out.

yeah there is no way he plays against the Chargers on a short week.

Nope...Looks like at Lions (11/2) would be his first shot back. 

Not an easy first game lol!
