And this is probably stating the obvious, but.....if Minnesota does not get another 'substantial' QB into Minnesota this offseason, and trust me, there'll be a few decent vets available via trade or even a guy like Malik Willis, the staff has seen enough of JJM to feel strongly about his ability to improve in 2026 and beyond. They've seen the warts, the inconsistency, etc. and even more internally to know better than fans do. KOC has been through the ringer this season with QB injuries and injuries overall and I can't see him NOT doing something if felt seriously concerned. No way the passing offense will look like it looked this season next year, whether thats with JJM starting or another QB.
Fans can agree or not, get upset about doing nothing but pushing forward with JJM, but the actions will speak for what the org. believes in. If they want to go into another direction OR have a REAL QB competition in '26, they'll be able to do it. If they don't, its a massive statement in their belief of McCarthy. Pretty simple. This is basically the careers in Minnesota of both KOC and KAM hanging in the balance....so the action or inaction will be quite loud. Everyone knows my opinion and how I feel about McCarthy, so I won't belabor it other than to say I expect JJM to look much better next season. JMO. But if they make a loud action contrary to continuing unencumbered with him, then we'll have our answer as fans.
Happy New Year, everyone! One of these days......
