So why would Minnesota be adverse to starting JJ McCarthy after the Bye against the Eagles? Thursday night Dart goes up against Philly. I don't think the Giants are that concerned, what they ARE concerned about is getting Dart reps. Game experience. Bright lights action. The opponent doesn't matter. Its at home, just like the Philly-Minnesota game will be.
If McCarthy is truly healthy and I HIGHLY expect he will be after the bye week barring a setback, he's going to start. And he should. No angst necessary. Let's f-ing go here with this kid and get him some much needed NFL playing time. Its not rocket science here, its simple. GAME REPS. KOC wants to sail the turbulent seas of a young QB this year so next year the water will be calmer.

Agree that JJ should start as soon as he's healthy.[b] My only hesitation is about the health of the line when he does that. Poor protection can damage a QB. Dart's line is completely healthy.[/b]

Minnesota was never ever going to get Williams, Daniels or Maye. Why anyone would lose faith already is a head scratcher, he's played 2 games. But he does need to play and needs to stay healthy. [hr]
It's completely unfair, but it's the truth: his peers are making waves while he's missing games. There's already plenty of cause for concern, he needs to re-stock some faith into the Purple Fandom.

I would think (minimally) we'll be w/out Kelly and O'Neil. Maybe CD off the pitch count by then.

That pick 6 against Chicago should have been devastating, in the context of the game at that time and how he and the O-line had performed. But....it just solicited a 'where would you rather be?' and the epic 4th quarter. I'd tell fans to hang in there. The good stuff is coming.
He's a very young QB and a new dad, he doesn't need the mega-nega clowns on him, too.
