JJM will have a better stat line than Culpepper did in 2000, his first year starting.

Culpepper made the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

I could live with less passing yards and more rushing yards giving the Vikings a more versatile and dangerous team!

I'm really curious to see what element-- if any-- we have of a QB run game this year. Outside of one or two outlier games with fill ins, the designed QB run and even the scramble has been all but banished from Vikings offense for a decade. Did Tjack hurt people in the front office THAT much lol.

Some of that is personnel and I don't think anyone wants McCarthy running all over the field, but Mahomes and Herbert can scoot around when the situation arises. If McCarthy can get to that level at some point in his career it'd be huge.

I don't think KOC has a problem with his QB taking off if the opportunity is there. Given McCarthy's speed, I think we'll see quite a bit of that this year. What we don't want is JJ looking for escape routes when downfield routes are still developing. But I trust KOC to prevent that.

I won't get greedy. I just want 5,500 yards passing. Not too much lol.

All kidding aside, he can very well get there. From what it seems, he has the mentality and work ethic to make that happen.

Andrew Luck has the rookie yards record at 4375. JJM is not technically a rookie but that is a pretty high bar regardless.

I'd like to just see him in action in a game, all this hype is really a distraction.
