00:00Well, the plan all along for the season was for the Minnesota Vikings to go with J.J. McCarthy,
00:07a starting quarterback. They had Sam Darnold, they had Daniel Jones, sold on J.J. McCarthy.
00:11Didn't go that well in the first couple of weeks, but it did for a half. And that half
00:17led to optimism until he got hurt. But then Carson Wentz came in, did an admirable job
00:22until this past week. I gotta tell you, George, I'm not indicting Wentz on that. I just think
00:27that the game was over before it started. So what does Kevin O'Connell do? Buy or sell?
00:33J.J. McCarthy will start next week for the Vikings.
00:39I don't think Kevin O'Connell has a choice here, all right? You need to find out about McCarthy,
00:43all right? Is he your quarterback of the future or is he not your quarterback of the future?
00:47You know Wentz isn't, all right? You're not winning with Wentz, by the way. So your sentence is kind
00:50of easy here. You go back, assuming McCartney is healthy, which, watching on the sideline last
00:54night looked pretty damn healthy to me, you need to go with McCarthy. I know I made a smart-ass
00:59comment on Twitter that McCarthy starts next week unless his ankle is amputated, all right,
01:03at this point. Because his can't go at Wentz anymore. The schedule is much harder now for
01:07Minnesota, so I think it could look ugly, Greg. I don't think McCarthy's going to look all that
01:11great here, but you need to start evaluating this guy. You're three and four. You have, I believe,
01:15the number three hardest schedule the rest of the season here. You're last place in your
01:19division. Probably not making the playoffs here. You need to know, is McCarthy the guy?
01:24Are we going with him next year or are we going to draft another quarterback? Are we going to sign
01:27a quarterback here? What do we got to do here? The funny thing is, Craig, remember, they had
01:32Daniel Jones and Sam Donald on this roster last year. Oops.
01:39You know, you lost me once you said that you were kidding around that his ankle amputated.
01:45How does that work? How would that work? I thought a foot, can you amputate an ankle, George?
01:51I don't know how you went with that one, but. I can try on you. Anybody got a saw?
01:56Yeah. All right, George, you're off to a great finish here. Okay, so let's go with sell. Max
02:03Brosber gets to start next week for the Vikings. Vikings decide Wentz. Vikings decide Wentz is not
02:10healthy enough, and they're not sold that McCarthy is ready to go, and they want to take a look at
02:15Brosber, who every single person who covers the Vikings online says that he's the guy that they
02:21want to take a look at. They really liked what they've seen from him, kept showing close-ups of
02:25him last night. The counter to that would be, Craig, are you crazy? They could have brought him in last
02:29night. Why didn't they do that over and over again when they kept putting in Wentz in? I get it.
02:34I'm going to say they take a deep shot here with their third guy in Max Brosber. Joe Flacco had
02:41what is going to be his best game of the season this past week. I don't think he can possibly top
02:47what he did against the Pittsburgh Steelers. All of a sudden, he's being scooped up and played again
02:53in fantasy. Six quarters back off this week, Joe Flacco is a viable streamer this week in fantasy
03:00football. Not only is he a viable streamer, he's a quarterback. Won this week. I mean,
03:08you're playing the Jets. You're at home. No Source Gardner. No Garrett Wilson. Brees Hall
03:14is questionable. I mean, so the Jets are already a terrible team, and they're not going to have
03:17their best players here. I don't think I'll be able to put out enough of a pass rush on
03:21to scare him at all. I mean, you know, I think he's going to have a field day. I think he's
03:24going to do the same thing he did against Pittsburgh. If Jamar Chase looks anywhere near open,
03:28I'm going to throw the ball up to him. He's not going to care. He's going to keep throwing
03:31the ball to these guys. The only downfall is this could be a blowout early where they don't
03:35need much in the second half, and it's going to be a running game just to get the game over
03:38with here. But I think Flacco is more than a viable. So I think it's a quarterback won
03:42this week. Yeah, I'm going to say sell. I'm going to say sell. I don't know that the Jets
03:50are going to win this week, but I think that you got to have a good game plan against this
03:54guy. Blitz, blitz, blitz some more. Just get the guy hit. Knock him down. He can't
03:59go anywhere. It was a horrible game plan from Pittsburgh this past week, and they knew that
04:03he was going to throw short, quick passes. That's strange to me. And by the way, I have
04:08Jamar Chase, so I was very happy to see him get 74 targets last week. I don't know that
04:13he can do that again.
