1. 😈😈😈😈

2. Great to have you in Purple and Gold

3. Welcome bud! Skol

4. All the things

5. Great addition to the QB room… a wealth of experience.

6. I’d take Carson over Brett and Sam all day. A quality back up alongside Max.

7. He will be a great mentor for JJ!

8. Happy to have him on the team. Always wished the best for him. Was born in ND so I heard all about him from the family when the Bison were unbeatable.

9. Take a shot every time he says “all the things”

10. I will say that I feel better about Carson being the back up than Sam Howell

11. Seen this guy around since watching him play high school baseball and football. Huge douche, one of the fakest personas I’ve ever seen with my own eyes. Not happy having him around the squad.

12. My Vikings dream checklist is happening!
    1. Sign Wentz if we can't re-sign Darnold, check.
    2. Bring back Thielen, check.
    3. Sign some proven offensive lineman, check
    4. Extend Kwese and KOC, check
    5. Extend and promote Flores to co- head coach, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

13. He should’ve been here since March or April

14. He definitely sounds like he's matured over time, I think the vet experience will be good.

15. Welcome Carson your a dog, glad to have you on the team 🙌

16. Damn, I thought I escaped the trap of being a hapless Viking fan forever but then they sign Carson and pull me back in.

17. Make Cheerleaders Women Again!

18. Best wishes, Carson!

19. Wentz could get a chance to play. You never know👍

20. Well, color me impressed. Welcome Wentz! Just remember, not every down is 4th and 1 on the goal line with no time left down by 6.

21. Let's go hunting with your brother.

22. He has the correct mindset…I'll give him props for that. I feel he will be a great fit here….zero pressure will help his game. Looking forward to the season to start. SKOL VIKINGS!!!

23. Best year for you some number 4 moves be good lol❤

24. He looks like a big dude

25. I like how the one player he mentioned when asked, was Vikings legend Brett Favre

26. The Legend of Walk it to em Wentz!

27. Is Maxie the only reporter there

28. We needed a more seasoned vet to support JJ, plus I feel more comfortable if backup has to play for some reason.

29. his favorite viking is brett favre 😭

30. lol, not saying the dude is lying but immediately after saying it was cool to walk in the hall and see jerseys or whatnot of guys he grew up cheering, then evading the question of which guys he cheered for is kinda sus lmao

31. Glad Wentz gets to play for his hometown team Skol Carson

32. Eagles fan here, I can tell Carson has really matured. Hope for the McCarthys sake he doesn’t have to play, but would be a good story if Carson had a big impact somehow for the Vikes

33. It isn't surprising that Carson wears that hat and Adam Thielen wore a Vikings hat. This is why Carson hasn't been popular in any of the locker rooms he's been in. Let's hope he never gets in a game.

34. He can't name a player besides Farve because Green Bay was his team growing up.

35. Ecstatic to have you here. Please help JJ game plan for these tough defenses we will face this season. Skol.

36. NDSU Bison in the house !

37. Carston Wontz is the GOAD

38. Good move. JJ goes down, he can handle it. Has a ring and was an mvp candidate until he got injured. Brings veteran experience. 😊🎉❤

39. Carson is still young enough to be a starting QB in the NFL. Hopefully it goes well for him, he's only 32.

40. Seems like he understands things can change real quick in the NFL… from star to backup… he found out the hard way…i see he's definitely matured… to the haters stop bringing the past up on him!… we all mature sooner or later!…i think he'll be awesome in this QB room!… Welcome Wentz!

41. When Wentz was going on a tear with the Bison, it was a pipe dream of mine to have him be a Viking. I know he's not starting but I think his veteran presence can only be beneficial to the team. he is super well spoken, just hearing him talk, he will have awesome veteran insight on the QB position.

42. Still got it his presence is needed for JJ skol!!

43. 38-0 was a tough game to watch in January… Lets hope he is on point or JJ and Brosmer will have to pull us out of it…
    🫣🤞🙏

44. Good luck Carson, I hope you do well here.

45. I like his talk. No BS, all honest answers. I think he do well.

46. Carson should have been here for the 2023 training camp, the season Kirk was injured. Vikes missed the mark again on Oct 29th when Kirk was injured. Instead they go out and get Dobbs since we had ZERO backups. Wentz then signs Nov 8th with the Rams. We Finish the season 3-6 and miss the playoffs. I still believe if Carson was on the team as a backup from the very start of that year we do not miss the playoffs. Who Agrees? #timetorightawrong

47. Glad to have you now let's go out and make some of those childhood dreams come to light just like you did with the BISON thanks for all those great memories
