Well, this is moderate-big at the least, potentially VERY big news.
This is the "out" to start Max on Sunday. I always remind myself that I don't see practices, detailed film work, etc, and the coaches will always have exponentially more information than I do, or any of the armchair coaches/GMs. I have to believe that JJM is showing what he's supposed to during the week, but then...?
I was worried about this week in general. The "correct" thing to do, and I was all-in on this, was to stand with the kid through his learning/developing and take the lumps. It's always a possibility with young'uns, even veterans in new systems. I figured that backing off the kid would send a Childress-esque message to our QB room going forward, and that was a nightmare.
Now, though...I don't see Brosmer as a sacrificial lamb, I see him as an experiment, a warning, and a statement to the team: whether by chance or, um, "opportunity", it looks like they're running the next man up, and in a way that doesn't really diss JJM. On the other hand, if McCarthy sees Brosmer pull a "Purdy" while he's recuperating (?), that gets very interesting, especially for the offseason.
Another very interesting week in Vikings Land....
If JJ is healthy he should start. This evaluation is not over nor should it be. If KOC believes Brosmer gives us the best chance to win however, as VG eloquently said LFG!
Recall in January, most everyone here wanted to move forward with JJ, saying we had to. I am confident that KAM and KOC offered in the neighborhood of Darnold 2 years 50, as myself, Pattersaur and maybe one other said we should. Regardless that wasn’t going to be enough with his performance and JJ waiting in the wings.
JJ needs time, and deserves it, but if Brosmer is more ready ATM, you’ve got to play for the win.
