But if he doesn't, if he fails a second time, after getting functional QB play from Wentz, am I going to damage the kid and open up a can of worms among players, fans and media that literally no one wants to see?

I couldn't agree more but I think swimming lessons are over and it's time to swim in the deep end of the pool. Even if the game is lost he should be able to show signs of positive play going forward. If Brandel can hold up and Darrisaw, Kelly, and Addison back, he just might win!

Yep. I’m super high on JJM and past ready for him to be healthy. They should go right back to him when he can play. No one wants QB drama but if that’s a byproduct of winning games, so be it. Even if CW looks brilliant the next few games, we have to see what JJM can do for more than just the two regular season games he’s played.

Now if he comes back healthy and stinks out the joint for a month straight but the team is still in the playoff hunt, at that time I’d consider going back to Wentz.

Darrisaw and Addison. Those are 2 huge additions for JJ when he is back at the helm. JJ has been sacked, hit and hurried. Also he was throwing to WRs that weren't there in the preaseason (Jets, AT and Nailor). He had a good connection with Addison, so can't wait to see JJ with the full offense out there.

I keep coming back to this drive. Every time JJ drops back and gets more than—oh let's say 1 SECOND of time—he runs the offense and distributes the ball well. It ended in a FG after the Vikings had 1st and goal from the 2 due to yet another breakdown off left tackle.

I really do want to see what JJ looks like with a fully healthy line. I just maybe don't do it against the Eagles, especially considering that game might have special meaning for Wentz, and there's a game right after against Harbaugh's Chargers that might have special meaning for McCarthy.

Interesting tidbit KOC dropped in his chat with PA. That delay of game in Chicago where the ref stood over the ball and wouldn't let us snap. KOC said it was the right call, said a player had stepped on the field to get a better view and so the refs treated it like a possible substitution and made the right call.

JJM is such a HUGE unknown for now...Just so many converging factors that make any calculus impossible.

The OL being a hot mess was something I didnt anticipate - and should have.

Kelly concussed made things worse x 2.
