Good chance for JJM today...
Bury the whispers re: QB2
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
I just want to see that guy who was throwing vs the Raiders. Where did he go and will he be back?

Not sure playing with all of the backups in a preseason game is going to move the needle much on this. But the boys on X will have fun! 🤩

I dont know what that means? Its only 840 am here lol!
It's a chance for a good outing from 9 and maybe just put a lid on some of the questions swirling around the kid too...

If JJ goes 14 for 14 for 200 yards and two touchdowns, the X fan boys will say he should be QB1. If he goes 4 for 17 for 34 yards, they’ll say ship him to the chipotle in Eagan. There’s no in-between! 😂

Speaking of...
The 23-year-old will have a massive opportunity to prove his value on Saturday, both as a backup in 2026 and a potential answer for the future. Another inconsistent day could open the door for current QB3 Carson Wentz to make his case for the backup spot if he continues to look like the more stable option. A strong performance could also intrigue QB-needy teams if McCarthy and the Vikings decided to pursue a trade.
While some may think the preseason has low stakes, this couldn’t be further from the case for McCarthy on Saturday.
Jason Harmon (I think)

Count me in for being a big believer that preseason is shit football and little is to be gleaned, good or bad. I'll say the same thing if JJM has a 'great' outing today. Now do I like seeing Viking's players make plays during the preseason? Of course. I just personally don't put any stock into it. Injury free will be a great victory today.

Agree this is a big game for JJ. Between this week and next week, he can put the QB3 talk to bed. At some point this season, QB2 is likely going to see some playing time for the Vikings. If there's any chance at all of him remaining in MInnesota, he has to be that guy.

Do we really think if Kyler Murray goes down in game six and we’re four and two O’Connell is gonna turn it over to JJ McCarthy? Lol

LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN
Wentz is our QB2 and it isn’t even close. We may put JJM in if Kyler goes down at all this season. But that will be a mistake.
Is this thing STILL on? | Skol Vikes! |
JJM laid a giant turd today.
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Really a bad look, Brosmer and Wentz talking after play, Murray in hearing distance, no JJ.
