Why didn't JJ play?

Last night was a golden opportunity to show the world SOMETHING positive playing against backups after two mediocre-to-bad outings. It's a shame we didn't get to see him try. Like I said before, he's either extremely unlucky with repeated knicks that are juuuust enough to keep him out of games, or there's other stuff going on.

I'll talk to you since JustinTime is raging.

I think there is other stuff going on. If it's true that Wentz is likely QB2 for JJ McCarthy to get a true development year... How do you think that's sitting with him?

Going from QB 1 last season after his Head Coach proclaimed "Franchise QB" after his rookie year ended... to sitting behind not just Kyler but our backup from last year.

There's definitely feelings happening inside TCO... plus I'm sure his agent is telling him not to go out there for a meaningless 3rd preseason game that is basically all dudes fighting for a final roster spot. What's that say about him if he's playing in it? I think we all know. It's because he's not QB2.

Don't get me wrong, as a fan of the Vikings and a guy who really liked this kid coming out... I want him to play every chance he gets.

Something is wrong with the relationship between him and KOC. I'm getting the feeling he's not going to be on the Vikings much longer. Which it's a shame it's come to this.

Raging?

If you think that sounds like rage you’re softer than Charmin.

We'll never know if he stays and it'll come out one day if he leaves/traded.

I hope thats not the case.
