J.J. McCarthy was WAYYYYYYY closer to starting over Sam Darnold than people think 👀 Kwesi Adofo-Mensah gives us a MASSIVE tell: “Again, we don’t know what was going to happen at the finish of training camp.”

Listening to Vikings RB Aaron Jones pressor, it's pretty clear they're "dumbing down" the entire offense because J.J. McCarthy can't comprehend/execute it. Jones letting the world now they're not dumbing it down because of him and it takes acute thought and navigation from him to come up with words so that he's not throwing McCarthy under the bus 😂 "To me it's not complicated. I've been playing football all my life." (Via: Minnesota Vikings)

Biggest issue with these 3 teams? They're all in the AFC. Why would the Bengals want to trade Burrow in the conference? 5 years and no playoff wins for a GM/HC is not good, 6 is worse. Maybe we'll see the Vikings do something crazy to save their jobs.

There is more and more evidence that there was a divide over the direction at QB this season, between FO and coaching. One side wanted the rookie contract and to coach it up. The other wanted a competent QB to operate the offense. Guess who won?

Wow, a bombshell back and forth between Colin Cowherd and Dianna Russini on Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy and how the organization is propping him up when it’s not the reality 🤯 “Do I think J.J. McCarthy is wowing everyone at training camp? No, I don’t… [Vikings fans] are going to be disappointed…” "There's almost this protective bubble or sort of an elevation of what he's doing..." "There is a lot of lifting up of JJ McCarthy..." Neither one holds back on what they're hearing about the Minnesota Vikings QB. 📽️ Herd w/Colin Cowherd

Woah! This could be why the Minnesota Vikings are “seriously considering” bringing in Aaron Rodgers. Dianna Russini breaks it down but it sounds like she got the sense that J.J. McCarthy may actually not be ahead of schedule injury wise 👀 “Kevin O'Connell told me on the red carpet at the night of the honors at the Super Bowl that he was ahead of schedule and he's doing well. Then at the combine, I got the sense that maybe it wasn't that optimistic. So we just got to see where he lands and like you said, they know where he's at medically.” (Via: Scoop City Podcast)
