He seemed just super chill to me. Zen like. But if I had been pushing a Rodgers narrative that hard I’d try to find fault too.

Obvious BUST! It's like genetic expression with JJ. The genes are there, we just have to wait to see them expressed to know what we are getting. Because we have to wait, the speculative potential can seem to be a bit hyperbolic at times. But it is the off season, the time of great hope. So why not?
These analysts would like to find something negative to say. First press conference since he was injured and was asked directly about why he's ready to lead this team. Was he nervous? Maybe, but I thought he did an excellent job of responding to the questions. This was just more meaningless babble by a couple of talking heads.

Bingo. The Athletic has now joined Rodgers in hovering over Eagan like vultures waiting to smell a rotting carcass, unaware the odor is just Russini's perfume

Hopefully it’s her perfume.

I guess I never got that from ever listening to him. That is a new one. I think we should trade him for a 5th round pick.

I always thought the kid was incredibly impressive in front of the mic, especially for his age.

Can we add these two to the Silence Mics thread, they are 1 and 2 on my list!

Saw an Instagram post from JJM yesterday he was golfing with a bunch of O-lineman (Kelly, O'Neill, Brandel, etc.) called it 'team building'....can't find the pic now anywhere.

If anyone questions that, look at Justin Herbert this past season... First 4 years in the league he's averaging 39-41 pass attempts per game. First year under Harbaugh, he averaged 29 pass attempts per game. 25% reduction in pass attempts and funny enough his TD to INTs (23 TDs 3 INTs) look an awful lot like JJ McCarthy's in college.

I think people are going to be surprised at the type of passing numbers JJ puts up in a Kevin O'Connell offense.

This 1000%. That's just how Harbaugh plays the game. You saw the results with JJ at Michigan, and now you see it with the Chargers and Herbert. No bearing whatsoever with JJ. He is going to light it up with KO, and his intangibles are what is going to endear him to Viking fans all over.

Never been a greater time to be a Vikings fan.

I think many forget the pressure cooker that is the Ann Arbor / Michigan media.
He stood in that gauntlet his first year as a starter and took shots.
He stood in that gauntlet his second year and guided them to the National Championship.
