This just doesn't sound great to me, lol. Listen, I love me some JJM but for christ's sake, just get his ass out there and let's f-ing go. This does sound like he's not going to start Sunday, which I want to watch Wentz in there as much as I'd like my colonoscopy on a live-feed to the local high school. F-ck. I'm getting cranky and short of patience with this.

Kevin O’Connell said JJ McCarthy, Josh McCown and himself worked on “core principals” of the position during the bye week. They also looked at what was causing him to maybe feel the ankle while playing

O’Connell said it was part rehab, part football acclimation to make up for time lost. McCarthy hasn’t practiced since Week 2

“It’s not just getting him back and throwing him out there, it’s a little more real than that.”

O’Connell said he won’t keep the QB secret for Sunday and that it’s possible McCarthy returns.

I don't know why we're treating JJ McCarthy with kids gloves.  If his ankle is healthy, get him out there.  He got tons of practice reps all spring and through training camp and preseason.  If we're worried about his footwork or other things, then he shouldn't have been starting Week 1 if it's impacting his ability to be successful. [b]Either the media is making this more than it is or KOC severely miscalculated how ready JJM was heading into the year.[/b]
This is exactly how I feel, but thought I was being a cranky bitch.  Christ, should have signed Rodgers then for this year if JJ is this damn raw. Its either one of the things you mentioned.

Remember last year when JJM lost like 30 lbs but no one was allowed to talk about it without sounding like a deranged fan? I'm getting similar off kilter vibes around this whole ankle thing right now and I don't love it. Hard to know what to make of any of it. Hopefully he comes in and just SHREDS the Eagles. Can you guys imagine? I wanna look back on this post in shame!
Listen, I don't blame anyone for being exasperated over this. Even the board fanboys of JJ are irritated and salty (me being one). Nothing all of us would love more than for JJ to have a breakout game, but who the hell knows when or if that will happen? Its just useless to anything other than a W or L to watch the baby giraffe back there (Wentz) at QB. Doesn't do one damn thing toward whether we have a franchise QB or not.  I'll get this out of my system, but right now its just like 'enough already'.

To me it's clear JJM is getting the start, KOC is trying for some gamesmanship, and the local media is not getting the hint.


Well, you work for the CFIA so I trust your sources.

Pretty sure Wentz will get the start on Sunday. Just don't think there's a Froyo's chance in French Guiana that KOC is going to start the kid if he's not 100% and the kid said himself he's not 100%. Plan accordingly.

“The expectation is, at least at this moment, is that Carson Wentz will make the start Sunday against the Eagles, his old team, at U.S. Bank Stadium.”
