Could Carson Wentz be QB2?
There's a new Vikings quarterback battle to watch: J.J. McCarthy vs. Carson Wentz for the backup job.

And Wentz might just be the favorite.

All the same things Darnold and Cousins dealt with and were able to be successful with both, in fact, can make a case that the OL was much better last year than in 2024 when Darrisaw was out for the season after week 8, Bradbury was starting at C, Brandel and Ingram at G.
McCarthy is now in his 3rd full camp with the team and still showing the same issues. Also a number of reports of JJM not taking to coaching, which could be the biggest issue of all and the reason why he is not improving. There is not a coach in the league who would continue to put their job on the line for these dynamics.
Sorry if this is already tweeted and I can't see it because my work blocks twitter, but what are the reports that JJM is not taking coaching? Are they credible reports or is it some guy on twitter saying random stuff?
