We’re on the eve of the first of this year’s Border Battles against the Green Bay Packers, so let’s take a quick look at the results of our SB Nation Reacts questions for this week about our Minnesota Vikings.
As always, our first question this week was about whether or not our readers feel that the purple are moving in the right direction. I expected a drop-off this week, and while I was right in that regard, I’m pleasantly surprised that the drop wasn’t quite as large as I was expecting it to be.
Of our respondents, 32% feel that the Vikings are heading in the right direction. That number was at 39% last week after the loss to Baltimore, so it was just a small drop after a second consecutive loss this week. Hopefully we can see that number rebound in a big way if the Vikings can score an upset tomorrow afternoon at Lambeau.
Our other question for this week had to do with the quarterback situation, specifically whether or not the team should bench J.J. McCarthy in favor of Max Brosmer. This one was closer than I might have thought.
According to those who responded to our poll, 40% think that the inexperienced McCarthy should be sent to the bench for the even more inexperienced Brosmer.
I don’t know. . .as someone (I think GA Skol) said in one of our roundtables a while back when Carson Wentz was still starting games, the whole “let’s just start Max Brosmer” idea has a whole lot of “let’s just start Jaren Hall” energy behind it, in my opinion. The difference is that if you go to Brosmer here and he stinks, too. . .then what? There’s not really a good answer to that question, honestly. It’s time to let McCarthy get the reps, let him try to work through as many of his issues as possible, and continue his development.
Those are our SB Nation reacts questions for this week, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you to everyone who participated in our survey this week, and we’ll have another one for you early next week as well.
