“Brutal” - Andrew Siciliano Reacts to JJ McCarthy Out-for-the-Season News | The Rich Eisen Show

[@ThomasSmith-yn2rc]

I'm sorry Vikings fans, yall can't seem to catch a break

[@fitzy28101]

If things with Sam go right JJ wouldn't have been playing this season anyways, It sucks it happened but now is probably the best time instead of next season when he is starting.

[@ThePowerOfOneThePowerOfTwo]

​@@fitzy28101the thing is we all know what Darnold is by now, and he was just the bridge to McCarthy.

And Jordan Addison reportedly got carted off today as well, fingers crossed it was just precautionary and he's alright.

As a Minnesotan born and grown and vikings fan, nothing suprise me anymore.

[@NOTREALLYHANKAARON]

Vikings are cursed. 4 super bowl loses 😂😂😂😂. Zero wins. JJ finished. 21 and rich. Boo hoo hooo

[@413TomaccoRoad]

Surprises...

[@SuperBadMcQueen]

For real lol. I didn't even react to this news. Wouldn't be the Vikings if the young franchise QB didn't shred his knee.

[@Mr.Misanthrope]

As a Michigan fan, this makes me sad. As a Lions fan, I won't say I'm thrilled, but it's not the worst news.

[@NigelTufnel612]

Agree on both counts...

Beat a team at full strength to show your own, don’t passive aggressively celebrate. That’s Kirby level low class

[@jimandersen3003]

Your Lions play us with another back up this year. Hope Darnold gets your number.

[@andrewbird57]

I disagree that this is brutal news for the Vikings or even JJ himself. He will have the opportunity to sit for a year and absorb and learn. There will be no pressure for him to start as a rookie. Next season he will have a full year under his belt. It may help his development in the long run. Just look next door in Wisconsin how good Jordan Love is after having time to develop. Stay positive.

[@marcusgarcia5089]

Agreed. My goodness he's talking about this kid like he's dead.

[@Just_AnotherDude]

Yes, but the biggest reason JJ was going to need to sit this year was the fix physical mechanics, not mental. Its hard to fix mechanics if you can't practice or play. But this just confirms that Darnold is unquestioned starter and JJ gets his redshirt year.

[@ryankreidermacher9808]

He might have had the chance to sit a year anyways. There is also a big difference between sitting and practicing and sitting and not being able to take any reps.

[@Nightlingbolt]

Okay, but he’s missing out on a whole season’s worth of reps, even just in practice. If you ask me as a Patriots fan if I want Drake Maye out for the year, I would say no, I want him practicing!

[@CultureofExcellence24]

Yes but Greenbay had Aaron Rodgers. The Vikings have a new QB as a starter in Sam Darnold.

[@jackbrokenshire1187]

It sucks for JJ wish him a speedy recovery & comes back stronger next year

[@heinzbucksandcastle2053]

In May, I told my buddy hit the under button for JJ on 2950 yards, I spoke to him and he put $10k down but still pissed since we don't get to see him.

[@joshuabrown5123]

Damn, Rich was spot on in saying that this was Sam Darnold's team this season. Who knew?

[@shawnhenderson2091]

The solace Vikings can take, little though it is, is that the plan was possibly to sit him for the year behind Darnold to begin with, he'll be ready his sophomore year but the lack of practicing will hurt a ton

[@fitzy28101]

Yep, can't replace those practice reps.

[@NigelTufnel612]

@@fitzy28101 Nope, but he will have a better foundation for when he can take reps.

[@zenunogoncalv]

This may be the full redshirt year for JJ. Hoping for a blessing in disguise for him. Bulk up, learn the playbook, get used to being a Pro without the pressure of a first year starter. Not saying it will happen, but could really work for him

[@cerebralfanatic]

As a Vikings fan im pretty much numb to this at this point

[@NOTREALLYHANKAARON]

[@t.bayviking3232]

We have to look forward now. 😤

[@Neverasheep]

I’m glad they fixed it correctly. JJ has a bright future!

[@jimandersen3003]

Hopefully. I broke my hand at 28 and never recovered 50% of my strength.

[@Neverasheep]

@@jimandersen3003 that sucks. I tore my shoulder up boxing and never fully recovered. Injuries can be tough.

[@tylercesena2880]

Obviously this injury is terrible, but to add it on top of the passing of Kyree Jackson? Man, I am sorry Vikings fans.

[@Quiet1-y9x]

"A repair was necessary" would have been better phrased "A repair was possible". The alternative was a repair was not possible and they had to remove the torn meniscal fragments. Much shorter recovery time but more dire long term consequences. The repair will be much better for McCarthy and the Vikings down the road.

[@thedarkknight9153]

Good news is he's only 21. I bet he'll be lighting the league up by the time he's 23/24. He showed real poise and touch.

[@mlotis]

I'm rooting for Darnold, could massively resurrect his career. Needs to capitalize on his opportunity.

[@lestercombs1871]

Poor kid

[@joezim4254]

I am dead inside.

[@robynsnest8668]

Might want to do an update. Addison is down.

[@johnchedsey1306]

Hopefully two positives come out of this: Sam Darnold has a good season and proves he is a starter & JJ can learn how the NFL operates and is mentally in the right place next summer.

[@wesleyblanton2432]

It's really taxing being a Vikings Fan! Oh and Addison is out now too got carted off the field Today

[@FIFODavid]

LOLVikings! Have fun seeing ghosts!

[@crtucker2]

Lolzees. Shoulda stuck with Captain Kirk

[@neanderthalsnavel7411]

wow. that's not good. Who knows if he will be the same after the surgery. You don't trust the knee EVER AGAIN after surgery. It's not right. It can never be made right. There is always doubt. It changes his approach and game.

[@mt_baldwin]

There's no positive spin for this. He's not going to get anywhere near as much learning and experience as would have if he were QB2. His development is basically in stasis. He won't be practicing during the year, sitting in on film and game prep, he won't be down on the sideline listening to every play call through a headset. Now he's just a spectator with a great seat and not an active part of the team like a QB2 is.

[@Jdoesvids]

He'll have the chance to get the mental aspect of the nfl down, and he'll have January through June to fix any last mechanics issues he has. The only real negative I see from it is he's not going to get the growing pains out til next year, but he's the youngest QB of the draft so in the end this doesn't prevent him from being a great QB in the slightest

[@kylerush7948]

Y'all want bailey zapped?

[@Raiderussell]

Sorry to hear it JJ, get well soon. Vanilla Defense 😮

[@MyMonsterguy]

116.8 passer rating and it was literally the field not the raiders that hurt him. Yall raiders fans are really so unbelievably dense. Showing why you guys don’t know the first thing about football. He was clearly referring to Brian Flores weird mad scientist system where he literally puts 4 safeties on the field at once or will blitz 8 consistently. NOT the skill level of the raiders defense.

[@5049usrluvtyx]

Super bummed can’t wait to see you next year! -Maxx Crosby🏴‍☠️

[@Jdoesvids]

You guys realize "vanilla defense" was a joke about how annoying Flores makes a defense to read for a QB, right? It's full of trick looks and far more blitz than any other defense in the league.

Well this exposes a reality. If he couldnt survive 4 quarters with the Raiders second string "vanilla" defense, He isnt NFL ready. Now he never will be.

[@ViroVV]

@@koo-hip9406 Pragmatism, mah dude. Hes a tiny guy. It was well known he was going to have to rely on his footwork. Its understood that your speed declines with age and injury. Now think about that. He WILL be taken down a tiny notch, Which he can do OK moving forward like say Burrow did but it WILL catch up with him . Not that I thought JJ was on par with Burrow. Remember, this kid couldnt go 4 quarters and he was basically playing the Raiders second team. Just dont see him coming back to be some sort of phenom after time and nature take their taxes out when there is so much competition at the QB spot in the NFL. With another "next big thing" always just a season away.
