“I believe organizations fail young quarterbacks before young quarterbacks fail organizations.” - #Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell back in 2024, the same year he drafted JJ McCarthy. 2 years later, Minnesota traded JJ McCarthy after just 10 starts

Not in this case

He’s gave JJ more than enough of the support. He was surrounded by some of the best in the NFL. Now JJ is on his journey.

what’s the point of posting this tho? lol. 😂 i get what you’re going for but he never said I will never fail a young qb 😂

They traded him after Kyler Murray performed like that😭 lmaoooo

Use the whole clip. He still says that sometimes QBs just don’t work out. Acting like he’s saying every single QB is good but organizations fail them. Also new GM wants his own QB not the dog shit 3rd string QB his predecessor took.

I hope JJ balls out so we can see that the offense Playbook is trash. KOC has to change his game, or Flores should be next HC.

In this case JJ would have failed any situation. No excuse when you come into the league and immediately have a top 3 receiving core

He did not draft JJ. Kwesi did. He gave JJ ample opportunity and the kid couldn’t stay healthy and showed zero consistency or improvements. He failed himself.

Can we stop with this bs? JJ had an entire offseason to develop and he got worse. He couldn’t even keep the QB 2 job. We let Darnold walk to give him a chance. The Vikings gave him plenty of chances, he failed them

This man is in serious trouble. After that Kyler performance on Sunday, he better hope the defense can keep carrying the team. Because if they don’t advance in the playoffs, he’s gone after missing the JJ pick. A top 10 pick at QB is a serious investment he admitted defeat on.

It’s all on the new GM !!! Fire Nolan for only getting a fifth round pick from a team that is desperate while still having no QB on the current roster. The art of the Bad Deal!!!

Wasn't JJ injured for 86% of the time he was here????

If you listen to the whole quote he goes on to say “If you’ve got the right guy.” Also goes on to say he believes sometimes things just don’t workout and players do need a fresh start elsewhere. The Vikings did not fail JJ McCarthy.

Got to learn from Darnold, Wentz, KOC, other QB staff- he was never thrust in action prematurely. Gave the kid 3 years of time working with some of the best offensive weapons in the league and he looked awful. That’s failing a young QB?? Sounds to me like he’s not NFL caliber

Not KOC’s fault JJ couldn’t stay healthy, he prob would have developed normally if he stayed healthy & played regularly.

He had probowl level talent at WR1,WR2,TE,HB,FB,LT,RT,C, 1ST ROUND LG,BIG FREE AGENT RT. A pretty decent defense. Besides throwing fucking ball for him, what more could O'connel do? Also dont Griddy if the coach says to not fuckung do it. Hes a punk.

Kyler has been in the league and played like ass. Defense carried. What are they expecting? Give old midget time but give up on the young qb. Make it make sense

How did they fail McCarthy? He was not good…. After 2 years he somehow got worse…. Did you watch him in the preseason? Dude has no touch on his throws and throws every pass as hard as he possibly can

UNLESS THE QB FAILS THE ORGANIZATION. You wanted KOC to save a QB who was not a passing QB in college. You can only teach so much. The player needs to perform. The staff saw what they had.

If he does well and Murray flames out then koc has to go

How do you fail a QB who can’t stay healthy or takes himself out of games?

When you have a win now team, you can’t afford to let a young QB develop. It was just a huge disaster letting Darnold leave. That’s the real issue in all this

JJ doesn’t have it, it’s that simple

He’s right. But simply believing in a young qb and doing everything you can for him doesn’t automatically make every qb nfl starting caliber

Goes to show you how ass JJ McCarthy is

He’s right. JJ was failed by the Vikings. They played him wayyyyy too early and everyone said he was a star before he took his first snap in the league.

With how poorly he played last season? No developing there

Unreal and Vikings are cooked…Awful Giants stole him

He's played around for what..? 4-5 years now, "developing the Vikings". That's a lot of money and a lot of lives he's played around with....He doesn't know his game as well as I though..especially letting Sammy D. go,. Vikings for life. I don't care for this coach..much.

now i remember why i unfollowed before... Not a real fan page 👋 9 was F@ckn terrible

Dumb ass coach who will never win anything

They GAVE UP on McCarthy this early into his career?? This'll leave a permanent scar on Kevin O'Connell and the GM's career.

JJ was over drafted.

Weird thing to post acting like he failed JJ🤣🤣 we all knew he wasn’t a NFL qb. Kwesi drafted him anyways
