Daily Norseman on Carson Wentz

ArticleVikings Preseason Week 1 Film Breakdown: Murray Comfortable, Backups Catastroph...August 18, 2026

From the article

I thought they were atrocious. I thought they were both terrible. If you go by the performances on Saturday, J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz are unplayable in a regular season game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Wentz rated unplayable; slow to line and mechanically inconsistent in preseason.

Forness rated Wentz unplayable in a regular season game based on preseason Week 1 tape; slow to the line, mechanically inconsistent, and unable to reliably operate the offense. The backup quarterback situation is borderline catastrophic.
