The backup QB has always been popular in Minn.  I remember the Wilson/Kramer/Gannon/Salisbury days.

Really though,  what has any of them done to be considered the starting QB?  JJM has only a cup of coffee amount of time more than Brosmer as a starting QB in the NFL,  Brosmer maybe had more time in college?  Wentz had a good year as an iggle,  but has less time with the O than either of the kids.

if anything you could say that no matter who you want at QB... you want the back up.

I actually think some Vikings fans have surpassed the various Pennsylvania teams' fans in that regard.

Not a good look honestly. The fans' "hook" hovering around our QBs' necks is at least as bad as the Childress "different starter every week" BS from 2007.
It's officially SKOL SEASON!! LET THE PLUNDERING BEGIN!!

Michael Jurgens C Hamstring DNP

You don't want your WRs doing it, but I think a mild hammy is probably something a center can play through. It sounds like if Jurgens can't go, Brandel will play center and Huber will play LG. I'm not aware of any snaps taken at center either in the NFL or in college by Brandel so this is worrisome to say the least. But he might actually be better at making the line calls, given his experience in the offense.

Center Michael Jurgens was among eight players held out of Wednesday’s practice, which coach Kevin O’Connell turned into a lower-intensity walkthrough. The team will practice in pads on Thursday.

Jurgens, who has a hamstring injury, watched Wednesday’s session with a compression sleeve on his left leg. The second-year center has already appeared in three of four games this season for injured center Ryan Kelly, who is in the concussion protocol for the second time in three weeks.

Offensive lineman Blake Brandel, who has already played guard and tackle this season, took first-team reps at center.

Jurgens also will not practice Thursday.

“He’s responding to treatment pretty well,” O’Connell said. “I’m going to try to get him some work on Friday, see how he turns over.”

Five offensive linemen were held out: Kelly, Jurgens, right tackle Brian O’Neill (knee) and guard Donovan Jackson (wrist); left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) took a scheduled rest day.

The team only had nine blockers available, including three practice-squad members. The first-team offensive line on Wednesday: left tackle Walter Rouse, left guard Joe Huber, Brandel, right guard Will Fries and right tackle Justin Skule.

Hell, the O-Line is getting so thin, I may throw my hat in the ring.

At this point, I would take the original Mayflower.
