Jj McCarthy is trash
Vikings rookie QB JJ McCarthy out for season
- Thread starter STAN JONES
- Start date
You don't think O'Connell could coach JJ to a reasonably close level to Darnold? O'Connell being this level of offense whisperer has to be a benefit to take advantage of considering every offense he's been near since 2020 has cooked.

Hell no. Sam is a way more talented QB than JJ is. Darnold is one of the more physically talented QB's in the league.
JJ is just a game manager, Darnold out here slanging that bytch

nikkas were so wrong about both Darnold and the Vikings moves and will never admit it.
If the Vikings lose their first playoff game and Sam throws 3 picks they probably let him walk and turn to JJ. They can't offer Darnold a prove it deal because another team will throw a bag at him. I doubt he wants to leave and go to a Justin Jefferson-less team. He just needs to play decent enough even in a loss and they'll resign him and move JJ. The team is in contention so they can't reset that by waiting for JJ to develop. The window might close.
Sam's not a 34 year old QB so if they resign him it's going to be for enough years where it makes no sense keeping JJ when you can land picks to improve the team.
Mara got his wish with the Giants beating the Colts. They're out on landing Shedeur or Ward so they can go get their white QB by offering Minny a decent haul.
I'd send him to the AFC though.

Except Trey Lance showed us he’s terrible. Big difference.
Not saying Darnold should get a massive contract, but it is clear that a teams situation makes ALL the difference.
Have to give him a lot of credit for the shyt he’s dealt with over the years.

Trey never played. If McCarthy was as good as you think he is, there would be no way that they'd entertain offers for a trade.
I’m not saying I think McCarthy is good or great. I’m saying we’ve seen Lance, even in pre season play like absolute shyt and he was more of a project QB anyways.
That'd make sense if Sam was 38; he's 27, in what should be the prime of his career.
Trade JJ while he still has value. Sam isn't going to command a Joe Burrow contract.
Trading a 10th overall pick without him even playing 1 game sounds insane.
JJ McCarthy might not amount to anything but I think you'd have to give him a shot.
What I think should happen is that a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers or Miami Dolphins should pursue Darnold aggressively, because they have the talent to put around him to be successful. And he's looking a hell of a lot better right now than Tua or Russell.
Maybe Miami can't make it work financially -- I'm not sure. But outside of Pitt and Miami, what teams could take on Darnold? Every other team has an established starter or they have their QB of the future.
I guess the Jets will have an opening but Darnold's not going there.

I don't think it would be the worst idea.Watch the Giants trade for him.
I have some doubts about Cam Ward. I have a lot of doubts about Shadeur Sanders.
And you'd think Brian Daboll could win with Darnold.
Daboll can't afford to wait for Ward/Sanders to develop. He's already halfway out the door.
