Speaker 1 (00:00):
JJ McCarthy's performance wasn't just bad. We might be in
the middle of a full blown Vikings crisis, and I'm
gonna explain why. But first I need to tell you
about zero res carpet cleaning because you need to get
your home ready for the holidays, and they are offering
three carpets cleaned for only one hundred and thirty nine dollars.

(00:24):
Go to zero Resminnesota dot com and tell them you
heard about it from the brawl with Timpaul. To take
advantage of this special deal. Zero red spell forbes are backwards,
It spells the same. How bad was JJ McCarthy's performance
versus the Bears. His first completed pass in the second

(00:46):
half came with three minutes left in the half. How
bad was JJ McCarthy's performance, Well, he missed Jordan Addison
wide open, TG Hawkinson wide open, Justin Jefferson wide open.
Through two really really really bad interceptions, the worst kind

(01:07):
of interceptions you could ever have one one you're about
to score, and two in your own territory. JJ McCarthy
wasn't terrible, he was atrocious. This was as bad a
quarterback game that you could ever witness with your own eyes. Yes,

(01:28):
I know we had the final drive that gave the
Vikings the lead, but so did Tim Tebow. JJ McCarthy
put together his best Tim Tebow impression. And here's my
theory with that. Tim Tebow had so many game winning
drives his special year with Denver because the defense went

(01:50):
into a prevent, and that's what the Bears did against McCarthy.
They went into a prevent and it was dink and
dunk your way down the field. And then his last
throw to Addison had some zip and it was a
beautiful throw. But was I super impressed with that drive?
The answer is no. He gave the Vikings the lead,
and the Vikings could have won if the Special Teams

(02:13):
unit didn't crap their pants. But was I impressed with McCarthy,
Absolutely not, because he was the reason why the Vikings lost.
Here's a picture of JJ McCarthy in a clean pocket.
Where do you think this ball ends up. Does it
end up in the hands of Justin Jefferson. No, it
goes fifteen feet over his head. And this wasn't a

(02:38):
thirty yard throw down the field. This was a seven
yard out. And you can't blame the hand injury because
Kevin O'Connell takes to the podium the other day and says,
JJ McCarthy had his best practices of the season this
past week. This is becoming unbelievably bad. Another performance by

(03:04):
McCarthy where his completion percentage was fifty percent. McCarthy is
not an accurate quarterback. How fixable is this? Because he's
not missing Jefferson by one or two yards where he
just needs to lead him a little bit more, he's
missing Jefferson by ten feet wide open. How fixable is

(03:27):
a quarterback missing a receiver by ten feet? What I
do know is this, the Vikings are not about winning
this year, because if they were, there is no way
Max Brosmer would be performing worse than this. Do you
know who Jajon McCarthy reminds me of. He reminds me

(03:48):
of this into the wind up in his first offering,
Josh the bit outside, He tried the corner and missed
Wall four eight Lo and Vaughn has walked the bases
loaded on twelve straight pitches. Fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, wide,

(04:08):
high and low. He is Rick the wild thing, Vaughn.
Is it possible for McCarthy to put some glasses underneath
those helmets. J. J. McCarthy needs to change the way
he throws the ball. Maybe he should look into this.

(04:42):
Henry Rowan Gardner the floater. If my son wanted to
play catch with JJ McCarthy, I wouldn't let him because
it would be outright dangerous. His head would fall off
because he has no touch on any of his throats.
The Vikings are in a flat out crisis right now,

(05:04):
because let me read you this note from Kevin Sefferts,
an article that he wrote on March eighteenth. In the
span of seven days last week, the Vikings spent more
money on players than any team in the NFL. They retained,
acquired via trade, or signed as free agents, fourteen players

(05:25):
whose contracts combined for more than three hundred million and
nearly one hundred and sixty million in full guarantees. According
to Roster Management, the Vikings spent more than any other
team last offseason. And this is the quarterback leading them.

(05:45):
A guy that can't complete sixty percent of his passes,
a guy that can't complete a simple out that's eight
yards in a clean pocket. Is it going to get
any easier for McCarthy? Eventually? Jordan and Addison is going
to get traded or extended. He had a clean pocket,
he has three phenomenal receivers and a serviceable tight end.

(06:09):
He's got a great head coach who is scheming guys
wide open down the field. I get that he's a rookie,
but McCarthy will never be surrounded by more talent for
the rest of his career. And this is what he's producing.
I said it over and over and over again last offseason.
The Vikings have a Super Bowl roster. You cannot deny that.

(06:33):
And the one piece holding them back from where they're
trying to get to is JJ McCarthy. Imagine being the
owner of the Vikings and you're the Vikings general manager
and the head coach, and you ask them for three
hundred million dollars to spend in free agency, and now, yes,

(06:55):
that's fine, as long as you give me a Super Bowl.
Well then they're coming back. We just got to be paid.
You just gotta be paid. You're not being patient when
you're spending three hundred million dollars. You can't wait on McCarthy.
If you spending three hundred those two things are in
direct conflict with one another. Give me three hundred million dollars,
says the head coach and general manager. But owners be

(07:18):
patient because we only got a first year starter here.
That does not work. You don't ask for the nicest
car on the lot without someone that you know can
drive the car. The Vikings have the nicest car on
the lot, but they have a driver that can't read
road signs, doesn't have his driver's license and getting into crashes.

(07:41):
That's the situation for the Vikings. McCarthy can't steer the
car and it's a beauty. It's a three hundred million
dollar car, and McCarthy can drive it. The Vikings organization
forfeited this whole patience bs when they spend three hundred
million dollars in free agency. Oh be patient, just be paident.

(08:05):
What be patient with three hundred million dollars spent doesn't work.
