And I still think it was bullscit to have him out there.

One wounded soldier is better than 2 wounded soldiers. At ease.

Vikings QB Carson Wentz on shoulder: ‘I never once felt unsafe’

Vikings QB Carson Wentz spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday since going on IR with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. He defended his decision to play and called backlash against it crazy.

Classy reply and glad he didn’t leave KOC and the Vikes hanging out to dry.

Didn’t they play the Chargers last week?

Cuz buzz

Forget about Cousins...shoot for the moon and trade for Anthony Richardson. We can all go through the Josh Freeman experience for a second time.

Yes and ?

My post was regarding that he took all the smoke off KOC & Vikes and put it on himself regarding playing hurt. Not everyone is that thoughtful in my experience.

My apologies. I should’ve quoted the post with the article attached.

The article says they played the Rams…

OK, so I nailed it right on the head.

Therefore, the Wentz thing was massively overblown. Probably won't even be any complaint from the NFLPA.

We can put this behind us and set down the fire and brimstone. Nothing unethical happened.


Only way Brosmer sees field now is if McCarthy gets hurt again. Evidence to date says there's a very high likelihood of that happening.

While I was not part of the fire & brimstone brigade on the Wentz decision, nor saw anything unethical, I still don't see what the point of leaving him in there when they were down 21 in the 4th Q, 12 minutes to go.

At that juncture the humane decision would have been to throw Brosmer out there and let him hand the ball off for the remainder of the contest. It was over. Instead they put Wentz back out there to throw another INT.

Ran him out there for yet another drive down 24. Bizarre.

No worries

Ragnar’s revenge.

I didn't have a problem with it because I felt like Wentz was in any danger or anything. It's just clear it was a serious injury that is now causing him to be out the rest of the year. Once it was obvious he couldn't be productive, it made no sense to keep throwing him out there. There's a good chance Brosmer would have made little of a difference in the results, but at least there would be a chance, no matter how small it was. It was obvious Wentz had no chance of leading the team back to a win or even close to one.

Doogie says that the wilfs are turning up the heat on Kwesi. And in turn Kwesi is making the facility not a wonderful place to work at.

The problem is higher up the food chain than Kwesi.

Maybe Klint Kubiak should still be the offensive coordinator

He's a more direct descendant of the Mike Shanahan coaching tree than Wes Philips is.

This looks really bad for Kwesi. Would be interesting to do a similar comparison using the Lions and the Bears.
This type of drafting can't continue. Part of the problem is a lack of picks, due to trading up. Kwesi should get one more draft, if that, to prove he can do his job.
KOC and Flores need to take blame here also, as no doubt they had significant input regarding the picks. Certainly the Blackmon situation not a good look for Flores.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

It is interesting that people think the Det. Game will be definitive for the team direction. The morass mushy middle has an 80% chance of being the takeaway.

Ed Ingram is a starter for the Texans. Calling Tai Felton a sub is generous.
