The Minnesota Vikings have been looking for their franchise quarterback for years now. They seem to keep going through the quarterback roulette, constantly rotating in guys who they believe could be it but fail. This year, the belief was that Kyler Murray could be the guy for Minnesota, but one national NFL analyst hinted that his time as starter may already be up. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk posted a video to his Twitter, posing the question if Carson Wentz could take over as the starting quarterback of the Vikings full time this season.
The idea that Wentz could earn the full-time job if he defeats the Chicago Bears on Sunday is an intriguing thought. Chicago has one of the best offenses in the NFL, and if Wentz and this offense can hang and ultimately defeat the high-powered Bears in Chicago, there’s a real case to be made for Wentz to be the starter going forward.
