I might take some heat for this, but if he's gone for the rest of the season Minnesota may be in trouble.
As a Rookie he was already consistently out-performing Alexander. And showing more upside than Waynes did in his first year.
Waynes has been dinged up this year. Xavier has had spells where he gets dinged up in-game and misses some time.
If either guy is out does Mac move outside or does Hill? When Zimmer goes Dime QBs will go right after Hill.
I like the kid's upside, but he's got to grow up in a hurry. And Alexander has got to show more consistency.
Maybe one guy steps up but I wouldn't count on them both. Too risky and too little margin for error as I don't see Minnesota doing better than 10-5-1.
Time for the FO to find reinforcements.
