Six games into the season, it’s easy to second-guess the Minnesota Vikings’ plan at quarterback. J.J. McCarthy had one good quarter in his first two

It didn't take long for Ben Sims to find a new home. And it's a familiar landing spot for the former Green Bay Packers tight end.

The Minnesota Vikings have had a tumultuous start to the 2025 NFL season, dealing with injuries to quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz. At 3-4, they are in a complex position, trying to find their identity.

One of the Vikings' biggest offseason proponents has been left incredibly disappointed with the results thus far from Minnesota.

At the same time, the Vikings also declined to enter a bidding war for Daniel Jones, the ex-New York Giants castoff who finished 2024 on Minnesota's practice squad. Jones now looks like a major bargain for the Indianapolis Colts after signing a modest deal, suggesting the Vikings only viewed him as a true Plan B.

The Vikings have an undrafted rookie as their backup QB with McCarthy out. Behind Wentz has been Max Brosmer. Brosmer went to the University of Minnesota, and he made his brief NFL debut earlier this season when Wentz temporarily left a game.

Carson Wentz decided to channel his inner battering ram in the second quarter, lowering his shoulder not once, but twice while desperately chasing first downs. The second collision? That’s when reality came knocking harder than a British debt collector.
