He had better be ready because every time Wentz goes down, well, it seems like it takes a long time for him to get up. He is not even over 50 yet too. What are the odds that JJ gets to play?Bryce Young threw for 361 yards against the Bears with Jalen Coker (who?) grabbing 8 passes for 128 yards and 2 TDs. I’d like to think the Jefferson can get in on some of that action no matter who is throwing him the ball. The Panthers 3 turnovers surely did not help them out and they lost the time of possession, 34 minutes to 25 minutes. They allowed the Bears to run for 291 yards although 61 came on a long run by Monangia and 29 on a long run by Caleb. Still, stopping the run will be huge.It will be tough on the road but if the Vikings can manage to run the ball a little better even without Mason, then I think that will help tremendously. Containing Caleb will be key as well. It is going to be a great game with a lot of intrigue.You know I am going with the Vikings. Always.There are a few good college games to watch today if you are inclined. At this point, I have to start checking out the QBs a lot closer.Trajectory of 2027 NFL draft QB prospects flips fasthttps://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49950232/college-football-2027-nfl-draft-qb-prospects-trajectory-flips-fast“This is a really good year to need a quarterback,” another NFL scout said. “Last year was not.”I try NOT to be a homer because I am a huge USC fan. Jayden Maiava looks pretty good. The Trojans have played San Jose State, Fresno, and the Louisiana Rajin’ Canjuns. He has completed 67 out of 83 passes (80.7%) for 896 yards with 10 TDs and 1 INT.Darian Mensah of Miami also is killing it. He has completed 71 out of 79 passes (89.9%) for 873 yards with 11 TDs and no picks.A few other QBs that I have liked so far are Kamario Taylor from Miss St, Bear Bachmeier form BYU (wears number 47), Kevin Jennings from SMU, and Connor Weigman from Houston.Minnesota Vikings News and LinksCareer-defining season for Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell?https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49964734/nfl-minnesota-vikings-kevin-oconnell-kyler-murray-jj-mccarthyKevin O’Connell has produced one of the most unique résumés in NFL history.
