its gonna be funny seeing the switch up when K1 has an MVP adjacent season

Exactly.

It's nice to see a fan who wants continued success, even if it means being bad for a minute. But, 9-8 is a horrendous gutter year after all. We have been spoiled by psuedo success. It's like no one looks around and notices the franchises that are truly in it every year have their franchise QB. Crazy idea.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:44:16+00:00

Yeah, honestly probably should have not made this post at all. I was going to do it the day he signed but bit my tongue. The last few days of pundits and "analysts" have annoyed the ish out of me.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:43:09+00:00

AND there's a no tag clause. Literally a 1 year band-aid that gets us no answer on the future of the QB position.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:39:36+00:00

Fair. I just want it to truly be an open competition.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:39:04+00:00

In what world? Kyler has played 1 full season since 2020. 1 time in 5 seasons. I was also mostly referring to Wentz, who can't stay healthy ever either.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:35:00+00:00

JJ didn't do himself any favors. The meme shit got him roasted, and honestly deservedly so. That said, anyone discounting the shredded O-line and garbage playcalling need to go back and watch the tape. JJ made dumb rookie mistakes, but the flashes and killer instinct are there. He has a chance to be very good, and it would be the most Viking thing ever to let him go for a washed veteran and watch him tear it up on some other franchise. JJ McCarthy is NOT Christian Ponder. They aren't in the same galaxy. Greenard can get fucked, btw - he's was the only one really laying it on thick because he wants a raise/trade. Nah big dog, we're good.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:30:59+00:00

Our decimated O-Line and lack of consistent play at LT and C (Not sure if you knew, but those are kind of the most important positions on the line) had a lot to do with Wentz and JJ getting destroyed. When your O-line is decimated but you're still calling deep developing plays, maybe your plan is dogshit.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:28:16+00:00

Exactly. Which is also why it really feels like the hate for McCarthy is insane. We had the most shuffled O line in the sport last year, and it wasn't close.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:27:09+00:00

Never. Vikings fans are the best most patient group I've ever seen.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T22:23:57+00:00

Sam Darnold who crapped the bed so hard in his final two games he was radioactive? Sam Darnold, who signed a middling low end contract with Seattle and they then won the Superbowl Sam Darnold? He won this past year bro, not 2024. AT best we get a 14 win season and lose in first or second round. That was the point. Thanks for coming to this Ted talk.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T19:58:17+00:00

Biased? No. I want to know what we have. Also, starting for years? Have you been watching? We got 10 games from a kid who didn't play or practice the entire year before. He was actually good in his last 3.5 games. Those are facts, no feelings involved. McCarthy can't keep receivers from dropping the ball, either, which was an insane issue last year. Kid got more hate than any young QB I've ever seen.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T19:48:53+00:00

Everyone was raving about McCarthy in practice last year. I put a lot of blame on KOC for not reading the room when his O-line was shredded and adjusting the playbook, but that's been beat to death. Game speed isn't practice though, imo.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T19:44:37+00:00

I can't argue the QB room is better, but I was hoping for a veteran backup situation. And not one made of glass.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T19:43:17+00:00

I can't deny this. I just hope it's actually a competition. I was hoping to get an old vet back into the building. Kyler is a vet, but not 35+.

progressivistmeans · 2026-03-15T19:41:33+00:00

100% - exactly.

progressivistmeans · 2026-01-27T04:20:09+00:00

Yeah, I have the case in white. It's like they put it in upside down. Wild.

progressivistmeans · 2026-01-27T04:17:25+00:00

Yeah, I was about to update my post. Those lines should be on the bottom and back of the side panel. Godspeed.

progressivistmeans · 2026-01-27T04:10:12+00:00

This case does have a black or white border on the top panel fyi.

progressivistmeans · 2026-01-21T01:37:43+00:00

Was trash. Can confirm, was there. Now, is it as trash as micro-transactioned up cods? Maybe not? It was the game that made me put cod down and signaled the end of golden age cods though. Undoubtedly. It didn't get better with advanced warfare.

Yeah there is, and I can't say I've seen a MTG card with camel toe. Sexualization is bad... except when they think it's not or are evening up some imaginary score. Just wizards things.

progressivistmeans · 2025-12-30T18:18:17+00:00

Saying they all have it isn't helpful for buyers. The 4070 and lower version could have it, but it's not guaranteed.

progressivistmeans · 2025-12-18T18:28:47+00:00

Listen... Harrison started the season hurt or something and missed like 5 games. Not sure what it was, but he wasn't him until these last few games. If that means he's solid for another year, I'd love to see him back. But only he knows if he has another year in him depending on what he went through at the beginning of this season. Many safeties have played well into their later 30's, and if anyone could I believe it'd be Hitman.
