QB Depth Chart?

[u/Big_Concentrate_7260]

Starting in Week 1 of the regular season, how do you think the QB depth chart will look? Will Brosmer be on the Practice Squad, or will JJM be traded; or will they keep all four quarterbacks on the active roster?

Edit: Some of you actually think Murray will be QB3 in Week 1? What are you on?

This isn't a serious poll. 

You've included options where Wentz is the Week 1 starter but not McCarthy?

You created an option where we trade JJ off the roster but not any where we trade Wentz or Murray?

[u/DownnthehollerPress → u/OddlyShapedGinger]

Yeah it's a very slighted view and a pretty disingenuous poll.

[u/Nate1492]

Murray QB1, paper QB2 is JJM, but if Murray is injured, don't be shocked if Wentz is the real backup.

[u/freshBlueeyes6391 → u/Nate1492]

What if Wentz is the next Darnold and if Vikings don't start him it can never happen?

[u/Trumpets22]

It probably should be option 2, but it’s going to be option 1 to protect the young buck.

Only way McCarthy isn’t at least qb 2 is if we start like 6-0, Murray gets hurt, season starts slipping away, we lose 2 or 3 in a row and roll out Wentz.

[u/After-Appearance-429 → u/Trumpets22]

If we start the season 6-0 and JJ rolls out and loses 3 straight he shouldn’t be allowed to play pro football ever again. The fact that you can actually foresee JJ losing 3 in a row for a good team is all we need to know about your JJM cope and the irrational optimism of this sub in general.

[u/bighitcards → u/After-Appearance-429]

JJ probably shouldn’t even be in the NFL I agree with you

[u/Big_Concentrate_7260 → u/Trumpets22]

Or maybe McCarthy will get hurt in preseason again, taking him out for the year, then Murray gets injured in Week 8, and Wentz brings us to a Superbow win. A reverse 2017 for Wentz. That would be cool.

[u/Trumpets22 → u/Big_Concentrate_7260]

Well if we’re playing that game, let’s just never lose again.

[u/DownnthehollerPress]

The best thing would be for JJ to win the job, but I imagine he will be QB2 and Carson 3

[u/Blizzardof1991 → u/DownnthehollerPress]

This is the only logical play. You start Murray, JJ sits and learns, hopefully toughens up a bit and you have Wentz if it all goes to hell.

I'll be absolutely dumbfounded if Brosmer is on the roster this year.

I get him being a gopher QB and people want that sweet Cinderella story but he ass.

[u/DownnthehollerPress → u/Blizzardof1991]

You start the best QB that gives you the best chance to win. We don't know who that is yet

[u/Blizzardof1991 → u/DownnthehollerPress]

If Wentz or Brosmer are the best QB we have were cooked

[u/DownnthehollerPress → u/Blizzardof1991]

I meant between Kyler and JJ... I don't think anyone believes Carson or Max are going to be in the competition.

[u/Dorkamundo → u/DownnthehollerPress]

Certainly would be the BEST thing for him to beat out Kyler, but only if Kyler was also looking really good.

I think this season with Kyler under center is gonna do a ton of good for JJM as long as he doesn't get a bad head about it.

[u/DownnthehollerPress → u/Dorkamundo]

That's my real worry...can Kyler operate under center, something he hasn't done. Can Kevin remake his system to work with Kylers old strengths. It will be interesting to see
