Benching JJ? Is it really the ankle

It's only two games but we have seen the potential he has. We all know he needs experience. I'm not one to make excuses for poor play but he has been under siege with almost no clean pockets. He had some in the 4th quarter against the Bears but not many others. Part of that is holding the ball and part of it is calling long developing pass plays. But few QB's would do well with the amount of pressure he faced. I think we will see a different JJ if they can get the entire O-line playing and they have a little time to gel. A little time off will give him and KO an opportunity to clean things up!
Last thing he wants to do I'm sure is be visiting a trainer again - but thats football.
I wish he wasn't injured. But I agree, I think some time away has benefits to get himself re-grounded. Plus I really dont want to put him out there with 2/5 of the OL out. At least not at this stage of development.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Oh boy. Cool that he liked it (if it was really him?), but the 2nd worst thing a young player can do is read social media posts. The worst is to actually engage with them.
But I agree with the gist of the post. It's WAY too early to make any kind of comprehensive judgement on JJ.
JJ is on facebook?
