Cowherd at it again

Are the Vikings propping up JJ McCarthy? Yeah, I think they are to a degree. They're trying to boost his confidence. But to argue this is 100% manufactured hype is ridiculous.

Never understand why people get upset about predictions, good or bad. Has nothing to do with results.

Yeah they mostly just said Vikings fans need to be patient. I agree.

I have noticed that we seemed to be getting more glowing JJ McCarthy reports from his teammates during the offseason than we have lately for whatever reason.

This isn't a prediction though. Predictions are just entertainment. This is making an argument that there is a concerted effort by the Vikings to hide the "real truth" about JJ McCarthy. That he's been bad in camp and the Vikings are covering it up. I mean real tinfoil batshittery. 

I do sorta wonder if they might not be referring to those Buckeye Nation clips that went around social media a couple weeks ago, ostensibly showing McCarthy throwing bad balls left and right. In those clips it's hard to see the jersey numbers, but one was actually Cousins two years ago. One was Howell. Another was McCarthy, but from minicamp his rookie season. I can't believe veteran journalists would fall for that, but who knows? Those posts got a lot of attention from people who should know better.
