I think QB is the room that suffers the most and it isn't even close. Having any sort of true depth at QB right now is next to impossible with the way guys move around.
There are 3 and sometimes 4 WR on the field at one time so even if you are not the top guy there is still the opportunity to...
Figured Max was going to get the nod given the short week regardless but this definitely opens up the possibility that JJ's season is done. Tough to be a franchise QB when you can't be counted on to be on the field. Going to be interesting to see what the Vikings do this off season.
There is a game notes post by Gopher Football from the 22nd that shows both Perich and Brown in Phoenix. Someone good at posting Tweets can add it I'm sure but feel confident that Koi is there.
Now he hasn't made any indication about next year yet but at the very least he should be out there...
Yep, we definitely got cheated with his back to back years with season ending injuries early in the season.
Awesome player and it has been great watching him become a star in the NFL as well.
While I think it is sad that we have hit a point where players have to announce they are coming back it is great seeing all these starters confirming they will be back in 2026. Bunch of key names that haven't made an indication either way but the returning list is looking really good.
Nestor coming back is a nice boost for the D next year. I know some in here had issues with him at times but he was often one of the best players on the field for us and of course his Wisconsin game was one for the ages.
I highly doubt bowl game performance will impact the decision one way or the other.
Heck maybe Smith is wired the old fashioned way where he actually wants to play with his teammates one last time. Or maybe he is legit considering coming back.
I want the SEC teams to lose more than I want the Big Ten teams to win. As it stands right now with the final 8 I wouldn't mind seeing Texas Tech come out on top.
Would be cool if SEC doesn't have a team in the Championship in back to back years.
Well the fact that he made the trip and is practicing with the team would certainly be a good indication that he is planning to play at least. But never know because I think JMS was a very late opt out a few years ago.
Is interesting how quiet Smith has been about his future above and beyond...
With the short week it wouldn't shock me to see Max get the nod for the Detroit game. Will be interesting to see what additional testing they do on JJ and what comes from it.
