Nah.....its true

Why don’t you guys get a room?

Coach of the year a year ago, KOC is about as far away from the hot seat as you can be. Not bringing back darnold proved to throw this organization in a tailspin and reverse everything they'd built towards in the end. Everyone knew the risk involved and if anybodys on the hotseat, it's JJ. He has a mountain to prove or this team went from believed superbowl contenders to rebuilding over a one year risk that failed as miserably as one could imagine.
Wouldn't be surprised not to see JJ in vikes uniform after this offseason either, KOC not a big fan.

When a Hall of Fame QB, Kurt Warner, say KOC's passing play calls are too complicated for any rookie, I guess I listen. Jared Goff actually regressed when KOC became the OC with the Rams, to the point they traded him to Detroit for Stafford. You really want to make the leap, Kirk Cousins statistically got better when he left Washington and KOC to come to the Vikings, then got statistically worse again when KOC showed up in Minnesota. Completion percentage down, TD's down, INT's up. Hmmmm.....

I'm nobody, but in around 50 years as a Viking fan, JJ is the first player I wanted them to pick, and they did. Two high school state championships, one in Illinois and one in Florida after Illinois covid cancelled his senior season. In 2022 I watched him throw two pick sixes against TCU in the CFP and lose. First time I knew who he was. He could have entered the draft then, and was projected as a first rounder, but he stayed in Michigan to win a national championship, and he did. That got my attention.
1. Loves football so much he moved states to play.
2. He is loyal to those loyal to him. He did not enter the draft and missed out on millions, but he and his team have an FBS National Championship instead.
3. He fucking wins. Sometimes it's eventually, but he wins.
People giving up on him after one year is simply football retardation. There are dozens of examples of HORRIBLE first seasons, way worse than McCarthy, turned into success. He and KOC will figure this shit out, and I can't wait to watch.

There’s a ton of winners at the high school and college level that can’t figure it out at the pro level. Especially if they get thrown to the wolves before they’re ready and acclimated to the speed change of the pro game. In addition to the size change of the defenders. I wouldn’t say they should write him off yet but they better tread lightly in his development. If they don’t you may see him as a Darnold or Daniel Jones in a few years in a different colored jersey.

All I know is I'm having PTSD flashbacks of the Christian Ponder era. AAAAHHAHHA!!!

They were bamboozled by sean peyton. Nix would have been better...atleast so far. They moved up to grab JJ fearing Sean Peyton when Peyton wanted Nix the whole time..why? Because Nix is a better QB.

 

[Eatsleeptrap]

Sure. Bamboozled by the guy who just went for it on 4th down and failed, in easy field goal range to go up 10-0 at his home stadium, knowing the second half could be blizzard conditions and cost his team a trip to the super bowl? Yeah, that guy is a football genius. We will know who is the better QB in 10 years, but as of right now, Bo Nix lost as many games in one season at Auburn as JJ has lost since he first put cleats on.

They are lucky they didn’t get nix he had a history of ankle injuries with multiple surgeries. This will be an on going problem for him and butthole eyes.

As of year two there is zero comparison between the two..show me the stats im the last two years where jj is better. By the way..cant stand broncos

 

[Eatsleeptrap]

Geebus...this is the THIRD time Nix has broken that ankle? Thank God the Vikings didn't draft him. Maybe Nix bamboozled Payton? I change my previous statement. We will know who the better QB is in 5 years. Nix won't be in the league that long.

 

[Kurtr]

I didn’t say anything about JJ I was talking about nix and your guy butthole eyes. I think they should have drafted mahomes if we are back seat driving

 

[Eatsleeptrap]

As far as injury history, I see one concussion, last year, and he missed one game because of it. That might have been, probably was, the modern NFL covering it's ass. Besides that, QB's do not drop back to throw the ball and plant their brain. They plant their foot, ANKLE, leg. Sometime 40-50 times a game, with 300 pound men falling on and around them.

 

[NDSportsman]

I don't think either Nix or Mcarthy will be long term QB's. Bigger issue is the oline IMO.

 

[Twitch]

If the wilfs and koc are as entrenched in mccarthy as some or one are on here, jefferson will be requesting a trade this year. As a packers fan, nothing would make me happier

You forgot about these.
Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (2024-2025) has faced a severely injury-plagued start to his NFL career, missing his entire 2024 rookie season due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. In 2025, he suffered a high ankle sprain, a concussion, and a season-ending hairline fracture in his hand.
