Where are you on the Vikings quarterback situation?
I feel like any time we have to talk about JJ McCarthy, we have to go back to the off-season, Right?
Because that's really where it started.
Obviously, this Vikings organization made that decision to let Sam Darnold go to Seattle.
Let Daniel Jones walk to Indianapolis.
They did that believing that JJ McCarthy is the Guy.
And you go back to listen to all those Interviews about him, they have such belief in him because he has shown much development.
I was there for the joint practices with the Patriots, actually.
Let's just say, if I had to pick who the better quarterback was after watching practices, that Week, it would have been JJ McCarthy by far, over Drake Maye.
Interesting.
And look, it's August, so no one knows anything.
It's not the same.
I think there's still belief there.
How could you not, after what we just saw last weekend as well?
Yeah.
I'm curious about how much that confidence They had in him at the start of the year, if that still exists now, when they were built to Make a deep run here.
They said no to Aaron Rodgers because they Believed that much in JJ.
