I agree but to be fair, he didn’t say the Vikings were a “run heavy offense” , he said “very much a run offense” which actually isn’t wrong. KOCs system isn’t too far off from the 49ers and what mccvay runs in LA

It's so obnoxious when national peeps talk about the JJ contract situation while clearly having not done their homework. They were extremely close the day before last season, but didn't quite come to an agreement regarding structure of it (IE: total money not an issue). Then 6+ weeks ago he said he wanted to know the plan for QB and has never been about him waiting to sign after he knows the QB. The team also benefits from waiting until post draft when they have their roster filled out and know exactly how much cap is left in 2024.

Sam Darnold is going to have to be productive and take care of the ball.. take what the defense gives you run the ball take deep shots on play action 🎬 and let JJ McCarthy develop we don't need McCarthy's confidence to get shot... let him play all 4 preseason games and finish out games with a huge deficit or pull sam and put JJ in if we are way up.. I wouldn't start him week 1.. unless Sam Darnold is injured.. Darnold is fully capable of running this offense at a mid to high level

Yeeeaahh, Jefferson still isn't going to sign unless McCarthy actually shows some some big time promise, IMO. You still have a 40% chance he can't: take an NFL hit, learn and understand the playbook, transition to pocket passer and speed, go through progressions, read defenses, or be accurate and not fumble every time he gets hit with his small hands. He's got a lot to learn.

JJ played in a pro style offense under Harbaugh, he has an advantage adjusting to the NFL over the other QBs in this aspect, not to mention that he’s also 3 years younger than Daniels, Maye, and Penix.

@@michaelk8710 You just sound like a hater. All the QB prospects this draft have yet to take a “NFL hit”, adjust to NFL speed, and read NFL defenses.
