The Victors

JJ was not good last year, but that was the worst pass protection I’ve ever seen from a pro oline. Hopefully he gets another shot, whether it’s in MN or someplace else.*

• Kyler Murray named Vikes starter. Hope JJ finds a good spot somewhere. Still think he could have a decent career beyond perpetual backup.* - By mattb August 11, 2026 at 02:13:57 PM

  • Seems like everybody gets second, third chances now, and it makes sense with guys like Darnold turning things around. Malik Willis has his chance this year, Mac Jones at some point.. JJ is still very young.* - By jjwalker August 11, 2026 at 02:38:04 PM
    • I can buy people saying he doesn't have it (at least not now), but it's still crazy that they're bailing on him after about 5 healthy starts.* - By LS&Play August 11, 2026 at 02:46:02 PM
      • Coach's job is on the line. Fans are angry that Darnold wasn't signed to an extension and that McCarthy was objectively worse than Darnold. - By el fuego August 11, 2026 at 03:55:53 PM

      • Previous best back up career was Todd Collins with $20MM over 16 years. ** - By xcheck August 11, 2026 at 03:20:11 PM
