The Vikings quarterback conundrum, if we can call it that (and if the team thinks of it that way), is a complex, interlocking puzzle.
Some of this comes down to simple questions about the health and age of 22-year-old JJ McCarthy and 32-year-old Carson Wentz, but even those factors are complicated by other issues.
