Dude is in concussion protocol. They said no way a qb can play that bad and not have brain damage.
So a QB that spent 95% of his college career handing off the ball to his RBs isn't able to throw the ball efficiently in the NFL??? Man, who could have seen this coming...
Terrible decision by the Vikings not sitting McCarthy behind a veteran quarterback for 2-3 years...
This sounds a lot like the Trey Lance situation
9 has to meet JJ.
Should have completed the Favre arc with Rodgers. Oh well
Bro is on concussion protocol so the entire vikings staff doesn't look like fools when he gets bodied by Sam Darnold next week. 😂
Man...AJ Hawk didn't get a word in on that segment, lol
I’ll never understand how people watched JJ hand it off every play at Michigan and think to themselves “oh he’ll be a great NFL QB”
seasonal depression is here in Minnesota
