The Minnesota Vikings had a decision to make in the offseason when it came to the quarterback position. They could hand the keys of the car over to J.J. McCarthy, the guy they drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, re-sign Sam Darnold, who helped lead them to a 14-win season, or bring in someone else to run the ship (Aaron Rodgers, perhaps?).
The Vikings chose to remain loyal to McCarthy, who they clearly believed was the right guy for the job despite missing his entire rookie season due to injury.
Well, so far, naturally, it's been tough sledding for McCarthy.
