My wife was once a NFL cheerleader. Humble brag. So I’ve adopted her take on this one because I like her perspective. “Anyone who cares might need someone to talk to about some stuff that’s been bothering them.” She added some stuff about grace and empathy which I loosely interpreted into “weak sauce”. Get over it Steve.

I suppose, he’s looked really good since he first came to the NFL. The big hitch is that he plays in Pittsburgh and there is a history there of players who succeed, suffer severe cranial expansion and then meltdowns. The most recent was Chase Claypool. Prior to that was Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.

Can we say that George Pickens is a top. tier WR?
Probably, but I think JSN is going to show us what top tier is. That kid is having a magical season and 2K might be in focus. His moves are pretty subtle but he's got that sneaky 6th gear at the top. Ridiculous hands and great body control with contact... he went from borderline WR1 to outta this world.

My buddy mentioned him last night when I was talking about Pickens, I forget about JSN all the time and it's criminal since the kid is straight up beast mode

I wonder if that will affect the team's performance in the upcoming Monday night game?
So you’re saying it’s possible to wonder if that will affect the teams performance without self consciously realizing what a bizarre thought that is?
How would that affect the teams performance?

Claypool looked like he was very capable but it just never worked out that way.
Brown is a sad story, it's obvious he has never been the same since Burfict hit him
Bell was a complete idiot who destroyed his own career

i play fantasy and i still didn't realize what a monster season Smith-Njigba is having until just now. if i actually watched the Seahawks play and he was on my team, i'd know lol
Pickens is 2nd in yards in the NFL and JSN has almost 300 more than he does

Knowing that is not around any longer, has to be a morale booster...for the club, the players, and the fans. Plus it's nice to know a woman took its place.
JSN set records at Ohio State where he suddenly came out of nowhere to lead their WR’s. He’s a product of Brian Hartline who serves as the Buckeyes OC and Receivers coach.
It seems he’ll eventually be a HC for some college team or make the move to the NFL.

In what world is a 98 out of 100 5 star recruit who not only was the 2nd highest rated WR overall but also the 2nd best rated player overall in Texas coming out of nowhere?

I didn't watch the game but judging from the highlights McCarthy looked really bad. The 2nd half for the Vikings --- 4 total yards on 15 plays with 2 Int's and 5 sacks. He threw a couple nice passes, especially one to Jefferson, but doesn't seem to have much pocket awareness and he holds on to the ball to long. I checked his Michigan stats and in 40 games there he averaged 18 passes/game. His specialty was handing the ball to an RB and he seems to have mastered that skill.
It's nice to see someone else notices McCarthy throws the occasional nice pass.
YES, McCarthy had a bad game.
Coach (idiot) O'Connell passed up a field goal in the first half and had the TIGHT END line up under center and run the ball on 3rd an short. Didn't work.
Went for it on 4th with a simple running play that got stuffed.
Maybe he forgot we were playing a road game and we would be kicking off to start the second half.
Speaking of the second half, O'Connell completely abandoned the run and Mica Parsons practically destroyed our offensive blockers. Two offensive lineman hurt for the Vikes. Maybe they just got tired of watching Parsons blow by them.
As far as McCarthy is concerned his first interception was deflected at the line, the second was a BAD THROW.
Way too much is being expected of McCarthy way too fast.
Management decided to let 2 veteran QB's walk and it's not looking good for this year.
Instead of being a bunch of wimps, fans should look at this year as a learning and developing experience for a young quarterback to hopefully get better as the season goes along and start next year with him being a better equipped QB.
Maybe even get a high draft choice if we end up in last place in the division.
Compensatory picks for both Jones and Darnold should help as well.
It looks like it's going to be a tough year for Vikings fans.
I'm not giving up on McCarthy!

All those guys you listed did have a rough go of it so yes McCarthy isn't the first rookie to struggle
I haven't seen many Vikings highlights since I dumped Red Zone
Regarding my Jefferson comment, so far he hasn't been your typical elite WR with an attitude so he might continue to be a team player and as long as he continues to get paid like one I'm sure that will help
As long as the Vikings don't pull the numbers game with him come contract time and mention his numbers compared to other big name guys it might be fine.
He is a 100 catch 1500 yard guy with a solid QB, this season McCarthy obviously isn't that guy but sure that could change, we will see

I'm going out on a limb and predicting that not a single person will give it a seconds thought much less care if they even know about it 😂😂😂

Looks like Myles Garrett has a really good chance to break the NFL sack record, 5 needed.

I missed the trade or whatever, last I knew he was a Steeler. I used to get confused about who was who when they had Picket and Pickens.

Move on and don't sweat it
I hope not.
I'm curious how other rookie QB's did in their first year as a starter.
I remember Marino was great right away.
Going back, I see HOFer Terry Bradshaw completed 38% of his passes his first year with 6 TD's and TWENTYFOUR INT's.
Eli Manning 48% completions, 6 TD's and 9 INT.
John Elway 48%, 7 TD's, 14 INT.
Drew Brees in his SECOND year as a starter, 2-9 record, 11TD's and 15 INT.
Troy Aikman 0-11 record, 53% completions. 9 TD's, 18 INT.
I guess J J is in good company.
It's nice to see someone else notices McCarthy throws the occasional nice pass.

Why doesn't that surprise me?
Why would it?
Jefferson has been a stud with 5 different QBs before McCarthy and now a top 3 WR looks average. McCarthy is the worst QB in the NFL statistically

And he keeps getting worse which is why IMG and Michigan never put the game in his hands
