How so? Based on the # of reps? Based on who he practices against?
IMO that is just more clickbait garbage. Now that the low hanging fruit of the QB competition is over, they need some other bait.

What he said is true. What he didn't say is that "organizations are to blame for every young QB who fails."

I don't believe that for a minute. I think JJ showed enough progress to keep developing him. He should be a capable QB2 this season. I think there's even an outside chance he could be our starting QB in 2027.
UNLESS....he throws some kind of fit over this and coexisting in the QB room with Kyler is not possible.

Thanks, I was just going to figure out how to do it. I really do apologize to CFIAvike, for not checking the forum out before posting. That's what I get for being excited that the decision was finally made. (Even though, most of us already knew who it would be.)
My apologies to @CFIAvike as well. This is the first time merging threads on the new system. I should have merged cricket's into your thread since yours was first. Now Cricket will get all the fame in the weekly summary post and CFIAvike will languish in obscurity.

Meh
When we first drafted JJ McCarthy, I called him Zack Wilson, 2.0. Keep in mind when he was at Michigan His defense only gave up 10 points a game and he could throw when he WANTED to throw WITH THE LEAD. (that’s easy)
He was a glorified game manager, not an NFL starting caliber quarterback. KOC sees this.

They thought it was weird Wentz signed SO EARLY into free agency like he was promised the 2 spot wink wink

No worries everyone

I will admit, on the surface, is does make you wonder. Wentz is a little overqualified for QB3. But I can also see why the Vikings didn't want to take any chances after what happened last year, especially given the injury history of both their QB1 and QB2.

I really do feel bad about this. 😔 I was trying to figure out how to merge mine into his, when you had already merged them.

I think vikings.com needs a new manager. They don't even have this news up yet. Or maybe they haven't been told yet.

In the thread, top left there is a "mod" drop down. You need the link of the other thread. I just went the wrong direction, I think I merged his into mine instead of yours into his.
