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

I have said all along that the Vikings probably weren't going to go with Darnold if he was going to get long term contract offers.
When Daniel Jones signed here, I thought that was going to be our QB for this year. That's what I would have preferred.
As far as "keeping the faith" goes, he has occasionally shown some great talent. As I pointed out several Hall of Fame/Super Bowl winning QB's had horrible years to begin their careers. It's not unheard of for a QB to get better.
I am NOT predicting he's going to lead us to the promised land. He might be hurt AGAIN, that would be upsetting.
O'Connell is an idiot for not adjusting the offense away from all the downfield passes, I haven't seen a quick slant pass since he became head coach.
The offensive line was supposed to be better this year. Sunday's game was the first time the starters all played together, and 2 (left tackle and guard) got hurt. 5 sacks and lots of pressure on McCarthy. Yes, he does hold on to the ball for a long time, but part of that is slow developing pass routes.

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
You might be right about Jefferson being upset. I'm seeing Jefferson getting a lot of "targets" when he's well covered. None of our other receivers caught a pass Sunday.
I am sick to death of selfish players. I hope Jefferson doesn't turn out that way.

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

Jefferson just signed a 4 year $140 million contract. If he starts causing problems, he can f#&k off!
Lastly, one thing I do know. The Vikings have no clue in how to "develop" a young quarterback, but neither do a lot of teams. Just look at how well Darnold and Jones are doing this year (and last year for Darnold) when they get some experience.
GO VIKINGS. GO J J MCCARTHY!
I forgot he signed that deal
That might help him from being disgruntled lol
Its not all guaranteed. Most of it is but the NFL could avoid a lot of issues if they would fully guarantee contracts like MLB does.
Either way if hes just getting 50 yards a game like he has been with McCarthy hes going to want to be traded at some point. His 2 best games of the year by far which are about a third of his receiving yards were with Wentz at QB
I've been waiting to see what else trickles out here about Aiyuk. There has to be more to that story.
Thats definitely a hot mess
Im guessing they part ways in one way or another
He refused to show up to meetings and that breached his contract so they voided a bunch of guaranteed money apparently.

He needs to fire his agent immediately if missing a few meetings while youre recovering from surgery is enough to void your guarantees.

i hate to interrupt this JJ McCarthy lovefest, but i just found out that the shawwow/slap chop/schticky guy is running for congress here in Texas
it's one of those nuggets of info you should probably just keep to yourself, but it's the sign of the apocalyse so vitally important that i just had to puke it out
you know i've heard really good things about guam
i wonder if i could enter the draftkings sportsbook there
"LoveFest"?
Might turn into a hatefest.
McCarthy out for next weeks game with a concussion.
Back up, Max Brosmer looked good in preseason, a lot of Vikings fans have wanted to see more of him.
If McCarthy can't stay healthy, the debate over his ability might be moot.
GO MAX!

Vikings doing McCarthy a favor with what is almost certainly a soft benching instead of just saying its his performance
All the team Drs and NFL Drs didnt see a concussion during the game but after a terrible game he now had one and sits out next week.
