So....Carson Wentz

[MaroonBells]

It's obvious why the Vikings spent so much on rebuilding their OL in the offseason. But, hey, Kev, keep your long game. Just have some quick options that you can turn to when you're not getting the kind of protection you need to run it.

The issue with Wentz is he has only thrown 47 passes over the previous 2 seasons and had no training camp. I also question his desire to play and the fact that Andy Reid didn't want him back. I think he had it in him at one point to be a good NFL QB, but not sure he is the same guy today. I don't think he will stay healthy and think we will eventually see Brosmer.

This season has quickly lost its luster with JJ McCarthy out and a bunch of injuries to important players...

Yes but a win this weekend, 2-1 and the bandwagon will start chugging along once again.

Rotten luck for any out of towners who got tickets to see McCarthy vs Burrow a few months back. Hopefully the Vikings still put on a good show. But I agree. Week 2 was very deflating compared to how I felt after Week 1.

Big time for me. I just don't care to read or post about the team in the state of disarray its in. The injuries are almost comical....as was the protection for JJM.

Carson Wentz will be the seventh QB to start a Vikings game in the last 3 years:

Kirk Cousins

Josh Dobbs

Nick Mullens

Jaren Hall

Sam Darnold

J.J. McCarthy

Carson Wentz

Inexcusable that KO has zero rings to show for his tenure with that loaded lineup /s

No doubt, you could feel the air virtually being sucked out of Skol Nation after last week's disaster, followed by JJ's injury news. But fans are a fickle bunch. A victory Sunday, a modest performance from Wentz, followed by the likely return of Darrisaw, Gink, Kelly and Addison the following week, and the mood will turn around quickly. With Cleveland and Pittsburgh upcoming, it's not out of the question the Vikings can still be 4-1 going into the bye. 

But first things first. We have to find a way to win on Sunday, even if we have Walter Rouse trying to block Trey Hendrickson with no help. With the Bengals suspect OL, 4-pick Nick (aka Jake Browning) starting at QB and their CB room banged up, I like our chances. Just please, no more god damn injuries.

This thing nosedived fast from JJM is gonna be a star and we're gonna win 12 games!.. to we suck, everybody's injured, our coach can't get out of his own way, oh crap it's Carson Wentz.

I guess if you're gonna go off a cliff, go at 100mph lol.

The KOC special.

As to Wentz, he said he learned alot behind Stafford and Mahomes the last 2 years.  Hopefully that helps him as well.  I expect a good game against a not so good D if we block Hendrickson with multiple people.  Maybe we run the ball?
