The backup QB discussion needs to happen whether JJ has surgery or not. It's not like you want to enter next season with Brett Rypien as your backup.
I would appreciate it if we stopped saying that JJ McCarthy is the “savior” of this sad ass franchise. It’s unfair to him and unnecessary given how the NFL works. I am hopeful for him to be our franchise QB but let’s not pretend it’s written in stone quite yet.
Can't believe the surgeon accidentally amputated JJ McCarthy's leg.
Qb answer is …. whoever jefferson wants. Screw oconnel and kwesi
This is Minnesota Vikings Remember 😂
This is their mess
Would it suprise me if JJMcCarthy never plays a regular season game for the Vikes NOPE
Mackey is a literal moron. Definition of over reaction.
Let us all remember Kevin OConnell came out before the first surgery and said “it was routine knee soreness”
Yeah this is getting blown WAAAYYYYYY out of proportion it was an injection a very low level procedure he didn’t get his knee opened up again relax guys Jesus this a huge nothing burger
Bust
Bombs away Nick
For some reason, I am not worried about McCarthy and this news. I think this is more precautionary than it is fixing. What I mean by that… you used Bradford as an example… let me use him too. Using Bradford, maybe they are doing a precautionary procedure to make sure it comes back 100% and not become a bum knee later down the road. I'm not worried at all.
Being a bulls fan, seeing lonzo ball having a chronic knee issue for years and what real set backs look like, this is nothing to worry about right now. If he’s still have problems at the start of next year into the spring, then we can start to worry but for right now it’s nothing to be concerned about
1st hit on JJ boom he's done for the year or if he runs or I bet he'll be hesitant now seems we just can't win at the QB position damn straight!!
Trade for Stafford and let JJ sit another year just to be cautious
I’m not sure why everyone saying McCarthy‘s gonna be the starter in 2025 I still believe it’s going to be Sam Darnold for possibly all of 2025. Maybe McCarthy comes in midseason or towards the end of 2025 but that all depends on darnolds status.
I learned that this can just happen sometimes. Nothing to worry about
Click bait ass title
Mackey, stop looking for any reason to force feed Darnold to this team. No, No, and Stop, No
If Rodgers plays next year I'd sign him
Cancer or not way way better QB and if not whom else is out there?
From reading the comments, and it appears there are 2 or 3 MD's in the thread, this doesn't seem to be too concerning. You'd prefer no follow up procedure but I guess after Bradford and Teddy we're a little sensitive to these things as a fanbase. I wouldn't say "nothing to see here" but perhaps "not much to see here".
