Albert Breer on J.J. McCarthy’s Future, Rex Ryan’s Interest with Jets, and Titans’ QB1 in 2025

[@amstel5468]

This Breer guy knows his stuff 👌

[@mmayojr]

The only sane person that has commented on the JJ McCarthy situation so far. This is exactly how the situation will play out for the Vikings. I know all these qb needy teams will continue to push the narrative that JJ might be on the table but the Vikings will not budge, the two many qbs problem is the best problem to have.

[@Chris-gn3bo]

If the Jets knew what the “right person” looked like they would not be in this position 🤨

[@giustinoscalise3177]

For like 5+ decades

[@digitalplainsmedia9466]

As a vikings fan, i trust KOC to make the decision. There may not be a wrong answer. The main question i have is: Can JJ be a guy that can make 35-40 throws a game? Everything you hear out of Minnesota - it sounds like he can be that guy

[@SuperBadMcQueen]

100%. It's the main reason I think ultimately JJ is gonna be the guy. KOC had Mullens throwing for 400 yards and had Josh Dobbs playing well enough to get a Progressive commercial. Kwesi didn't win a game of chicken with Kirk and his agent just to turn around and panic-pay Darnold $55 million a year. Franchise Darnold and if he is just as good next year, then maybe you roll with him. If you decide to move on, you got a top ten caliber dude waiting in the wings for KOC to unleash. They're gonna nail this.

[@digitalplainsmedia9466]

@@user-qr7ee2cp4y depends what the contract for Sam looks like, its not impossible to put a good roster around a high salary qb look at the Lions after paying Goff

[@westrueblood8178]

JJ just didn’t resemble that guy at all at Michigan. Part of that is scheme, obviously, but if he was a really good drop back passer I think Harbaugh would have used him more as such. Vikings are in a tough (but enviable) spot.

[@digitalplainsmedia9466]

@westrueblood8178 while i understand your point - just because he didnt do it in the past, doesnt mean he cant in the future. I would assume if KOC thinks that thrn they would move on from him

[@pdfortune]

@user-qr7ee2cp4y. nice bot name. Mahomes won the last 2 Super Bowls with a huge salary. Matt Stafford isn’t a cheap QB and the Rams paid over $25 million for Goff that season.

[@michaelquinn-xi8ku]

The Giants are so dumb to not have taken a QB last year.

[@Richard-gw2lr]

I think they will be fine. They need a complete rebuild though and need to hit on every pick basically. Very hard to do. First they need a stellar coach. Next build the OLine and Dline before everything else. Focus on that. These players like wide recievers and running backs they can get anywhere. Nothing works without those lines. Grab tight ends and DBs next. This is year 1. Second year get your QB and get the WR and RB there. Grab free agents to fill out spots. It won't be easy but it's the NFL.

[@dodu8281]

hmmm, i dont think so. malik nabers is soooo worthy. only caleb, jaden and drake were 1st round consensus. malik nabers and brock bowers were the right choices. value and organization pillars picks.

[@p.o.4339]

Over the years lots...repeat LOTS OF...of college QBs have been touted as the next great pro. The list of fails is longer than the list of succeeds. What makes all the talking heads suddenly think that McCarthy is the next success.

[@pdfortune]

exactly. He had mediocre stats in college. he is good at handing off. he is a game manager. I didn’t see him doing much at Michigan. Nothing bad about JJ, but nothing special.

[@BM-si2ei]

Because one of the best coaches and quarterback developers in the league has raved about him, and he was pushing a borderline MVP candidate to start as a 21 year old prior to injury

[@p.o.4339]

@@BM-si2ei Of course the guy who drafted him would say that. Someone said the same thing about Trey Lance just a few years ago.

[@BM-si2ei]

@p.o.4339 every beat reporter was reporting on his progress and how it was possible he was going to outplay Sam for the starting role in the preseason. It's a good spot to be in, with two guys who will get maximized by one of the best coaches in the game.

[@HumanBeanbag]

Let him sit and develop if Darnold is going to be great. Would that be a bad thing?

[@smitjimmers144]

I hope someone wants Kenny Pickett…I’m an eagles fan and don’t want to lose McKee

[@trigun7469]

They are not going to trade JJ unless they have Sam on a long term deal. The cap hit would be lower if they sign him to a long term deal. The hype of the generational QB talent in the 2021 draft was insane. I think there is some talent deep in the draft that wouldn’t require a trade for JJ even for the QB needy teams.

[@brownwolf152]

Let jj sit and learn for a couple of years. You guys criticize other rookie QBs who are doing poorly let this kid sit and learn.

[@johnofmalta]

You can’t walk away from a 14-2 quarterback. Sam walking away from the apex of his career for $15m difference in guaranteed money would be foolish. That would be a total lose-lose situation.

[@RobVoto]

Of course you can. Offer Sam $30-$35 million for 2 years. If he declines, you franchise and trade him.

[@chadwickerman]

@@RobVoto that's a bean counter mentality not a winner mentality. JJ will never be a franchise QB in the NFL.

[@RobVoto]

@@chadwickerman Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

[@Richard-gw2lr]

Shit is watched all the Michigan games that I could because Harbs is an awesome coach. Sorry but JJ isn't pro material coming out of college. He may be now but he isn't a starter unless he learned a lot.

[@guadalahonky4002]

Raiders GM Tom Telesco: Offer your 1st Rounder and A Fourth in 2025 for QB JJ McCarthy's rights. Sam Darnold earned the starter's job and a long-term deal for the Vikings. Let Scott and Norv Turner prepare JJ as the starter, with a TE Bowers, this is solid. Telesco's chance to acquire talent is here, as I would also draft QB Jaxson Dart in the later rounds to push with McCarthy.

[@bradleymiller7375]

No telling what that stupid owner of Jets will do next! What a circle jerk!

[@ronaldshiffman9171]

The Vikings should trade J.J. McCarthy. They would be crazy not to. As a first round pick with no major negatives other than his injury, he should bring at the very least a 2nd and a 3rd rounder. Possibly a first round pick from a team that needed a QB and didn't see one they liked on the board. Sam Darnold has proved that he is a top 5 QB. The only way Minnesota lets Darnold go is if he demands too much money which I don't think he will do.

[@nedschneebly5424]

The rookie qb contract argument doesn’t hold up when you look into it. The only team it worked for was Seattle because they had the best defense of the last 20 years. Mahomes won one but he also won back to back after his enormous contract.

[@Cr33p_Inn_Diss_Guys]

Yes it does it just doesn’t guarantee success because you still need good coaching and gm to adequately evaluate talent to allocate the excess in funds you have in a rookie quarterback instead of paying one. It’s not simply jj McCarthy v San darnold it’s Sam darnold v jj McCarthy, a safety, a starting center, and a pro bowl defensive tackle

[@Richard-gw2lr]

Every Superbowl winner had really good defenses. It seems like people focus so hard on the offense they forget that.

[@pdfortune]

The chiefs didn’t have a really good defense in their first Mahomes Superbowl.

[@george474747]

Are these interviews just set up by the networks to try to give a false veneer of up-to-date credibility to their analysts? (I respect those old coaches, but no way is this guy a 2025 NFL head coach, obviously.)

[@1Bronco2]

The Titans had their QB and they screwed it up.. they let Milik Willis Go... he goes to GB with A REAL OFFENSIVE SYSTEM........ Love gets hurt Willis comes in and wins every start and he played well

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

Ryan wants the Dallas job. The Jets would have to eat some humble pie to rehire him. I think he should go to the Bears. His pappy is a legend in Chicago.

[@bradleymiller7375]

Nope he was never a good head coach and he screwed up that quarterback back Sanjests. Hell I can't spell but u'all know whom I'm talking about he run into his own man, fumbling mess!

[@fritogranito]

The Vikings have a guy now. There's no evidence with Darnold in a Vikings uniform that proves otherwise. Tampa has their guy too with Baker. Is McCarthy's ceiling noticeably higher than Darnold's play right now? I don't think there's enough evidence to suggest this today. What if the Chargers could send Herbert to the Giants and the Vikings could send McCarthy to Los Angeles (win lots of big draft picks moving of course)?

[@johaw105]

Vikings did this with case keenum in terms of having success with journey man, never reached those heights after moving on from him

[@ehansbrough593]

People who say things like this - simply don't know or understand football. Sam Darnold is a superior talent to Keenum. He has top 5 arm talent, above average athleticism, he's tough and he's Clutch and 27 yo. There's a reason that he was drafted #3 overall and was the 2nd QB chosen in his class, ahead of both Lamar and Josh Allen. Case Keenum was an Undrafted Free Agent. So, just Stop.

[@johaw105]

@ehansbrough593 didn't say it was right or wrong. Just stating what happened. Plenty of players get picked over each other that means nothing in terms of their actual success
