Wentz-
He is the historic prototypical Viking QB. Talent? Just a tad shy. Toughness? In spades.
Be it Moon, Favre, Kirko, RC or Jeff George. The dice roll always seem to land on " that guy" doesn't it.
When last seen? Idk, Carson didn't meat expectations that "I" had allowed to deceive me. The reworked body, lessons learned is year 1 as a Viking. Tbh, I didn't think Murray would start again in purple unless CW got injured.
Mislead by my own hyperbole? Yeah. Guilty as charged. Mnf vs the Bills? OOF! TOUGH! Very tough 2nd bite at the grape for Carson 2026.
My expectations are now tempered. If you recall. I predicted Wentz come back player of the year before he was even named as QB 3!
Silly me!
Now? *Poof* reality bites down hard upon the grape.
I will say this much- Every week since the team broke camp. It has been Carson that gives the Vikings the best chance to run a competent koc offense.
Maybe? It's debatable, Murray and/or McCarthy had more athletic talent. Maybe Brisner is best versed on the playbook.
But it is the pro type Vijing old guy QB that was the likliest candidate to bring a smile to Kevin's face.
As we've witnessed. Who cares talent? If the athlete can't run the scheme. It's always been & will remain. Imo- The most important muscle a QB possesses is the one betwixt the ears.
Live football is not couch surfing Madden. Nor is it tossing a pop warner football 90 yards on a practice field.
Live qb football is a panicky fire drill in which knowing every mans position within 1 foot to 3 yards of where they are. This has to become instinct. If that is. Success in an nfl pass game is desired. The QB has to trust where the receiver will be. Looking down field? The
successful QB is looking at defender alignment. Not where his receivers are. The QB starring at receivers? Get that turnover machine fella on the bench with his eyes in the playbook. He is not ready to play in the NFL.
Wentz & brosmer are the closest thing to that ability. Brosmer arm strength limits him, as does his panic when the pocket collapses... So... By default. It's pretty much Wentz or bust. Brosmers time too will likely come. Has his arm ability improved? Likely not, but maybe the picket panic has?
Football 101= those qb's that can do the thing mentioned above at a high level are rare... Hence- me always saying, " build a run game and defense that can both dominate"
Back to wentz. He began camp, by his admission and the observation of others. By returning to the lean body he had when he entered the league. He bulked up bc he had to use his legs more than his brain. His brain has advanced as his legs declined. Last year realizing he would be better served as the lean kid he was as a rookie. I talked about this back in September.
Imo- if wentz is going to succeed. We'll now there's a chance on mnf if the ball is coming out quickly. If he's holding it and awaiting space to clear. He's not going to stay healthy.
There's a rythmn required. X amount of steps. Plant, fire. If the defender has the route covered? Adjust placement low/ high- left or right. Sail it oob. Skip it into the turf. Don't force it. Don't take the sacks. Those last 2 are why Carson failed. Stick to the rythmn Carson.
1,2,3- plant. Ball gone.
It's simple to describe. Difficult to do in real team with grunting, screaming, sweaty men and hot breath surrounding u!
Hardest skill in all of sport to master!
Good Luck Kid(t) Carson!
At least! Carson will try.
Murray & McCarthy never really have. Hence- my mantra, design an offense around what they can do*- or move on.
* Rpo spread- not play action pro set.
That is a different conversation that begins with putting KOC on notice of a very hot seat the 2nd half of the 2026 season. Perhaps the Carson Wentz start is an acknowledgement that the notification has been given?
Ps- if Drew Lock has a great game vs az. There's a rumor Darnold might become available via trade.(Imo- a mistake).
KOC was given 4 qb's and a top 5 defense. If he can't create a path to win a playoff game or 2 with that? I think it's time to move on. It's good to be notified your seat is hot! Carpe diem or bust baby! No mo pvnt fvcker cozy ball!
Lol, for 50¢ I'll sing ya'll a poem about finding wealth or death arriving in the attempt.
Lol- Mr.Koc. come playoffs if you do lucky... Play this before every decision leaning punt....
Go,go,go,go,go....
Quit making love Kevin.
Have sex!

Champions aren't caressed into owning a ring.
THEY TAKE IT!
BY ALL MEANS AVAILABLE!!!
or die tryin- respect come your way in that moment.
Brett Favres Int vs Saints. Forgiven. He died trying.
Gary Andersons missed kick. Will never be forgiven. Denny died as the poster boy of pvnt fvcker not trying.
Both hurt. But dam I respect Favre.
Denny Green is a punchline. Forever!
Remembered forever- more for a rant- "they are who we thought they are"
Know the difference? Know Legend/No legend.
My daddy's most repeated cliche...
