You can avoid the paywall to read this one article by connecting with Facebook, Gmail, etc. Do it.

If this doesn't get you completely excited about JJ McCarthy, hand in your Viking's fan card. Wowzer.

Then contrast those with this... I honestly don't get this article... Parts of it maybe, but the rest seems like a child throwing a tantrum? Seems weird to me...

Yep, it's weird. it is very much like a tantrum. Conor Orr is a NYC sportswriter, loves to be douchey.

I prefer McCarthy over Maye. Drake is just so young that anything can happen. Maye may become the best QB in the NFL or he may be the next Mitchell Trubiski. I think McCarthy, with his maturity and selflessness, is a much better fit for the Vikings and the culture they're trying to build.


JJM is 6 months younger than Drake Maye.

KOC has no plans to rush his development, either. Very, very important.

I do NOT want to see JJM starting any games before the last 2 or 3 if they are low pressure, out of the playoff mix type things. I think fans need to chillax about seeing him before then.
