The point is moot now due to the injury, but sounds like @Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy was A LOT closer to starting than people think, per @BenGoessling via @AccessVikings
.
Goessling somewhat admits he was wrong too ?

“I heard some things over the weekend that made me think the JJ. McCarthy development had moved up enough that it didn't seem like anybody was going to have reservations about putting him on the field this year. I think I had thought at the beginning of the year, hey, if he has to sit a whole year, they'd probably be okay with that. I think they still would have been okay with that. But I think he had done enough that they thought we could play him a little sooner if we needed to do it.”

Well yeah. Goessling isn't really saying anything we don't already know. I think KOC went from thinking full on red-shirt year to thinking he could put him in as early as the bye if Darnold wasn't cutting it.

Agreed....that was never going to happen.
