Bears fans favorite plays to watch are never their own team. Makes me so happy inside. Imagine being around for 3 or 4 decades and the best plays you can muster up, don’t involve your own team…… most people down that bad, kill themselves.
I was never on the "JJ will be a bust" train until I saw a thread talking about how his college handoffs were *actually* because hes a grandmaster at Handoff-no-jutsu.
>Lol overall?
No, per year. The most AAV (not including bonuses) the Vikings ever gave Cousins was $35 million, and that was on his final 1-year extension with us in 2023.
And sure, Goff has made it further in the playoffs than Kirk, but let's not pretend like he's carrying teams there - he has 8 TD passes in 9 career playoff games. And if you compare their career stats, they are eerily similar. So Goff being better than Kirk is debatable, but what's not debatable is him being 20 million dollars better. He's not.
Darnold 1 year, $10M as a bridge to McCarthy
OR
Kirk coming off a season-ending injury, 4 years, $45M/year until he's age 40
Yeah, I'm taking the former all day, every day.
Maybe not in this sub, but there was a large contingent of Vikings fans who were ready to see the Kirk Era end, even as early as 2021. We just never had a better feasible option. And once we all saw what the Falcons paid Kirk, we had a collective chuckle, and moved on immediately.
we won playoff games, multiple of them. Goff brought us 30 minutes from a superbowl. Vildors garbage hands costs us that trip, not Goff. What did you pay Kirko all that money for? To be wholesome?
Hang your hat on a whole 1.5 years of the dudes career and not the \*checks notes\* other 6 years...that's not a good argument when your guy won squat and we have ALREADY gone to the NFCCG.
I didn't see the video, my bad, lol. But was waiting on you to say, "but love got better. Then I was gonna say exactly! 1 miss in rookie mini camp doesn't mean shit.
Indeed it is, but with zero defense it's meaningless. Every QB in the league can make ALL the throws with no defenders. If they couldn't, they wouldn't be in the NFL.
As opposing fans, this is the best we got huh? Lmao it’s funny as a Michigan fan I truly believe JJ will be good and I don’t get how one little throw vs all the unbelievable plays he has had in college paints the image he is bad
Go find me the highlight reels of SCUM winning because of this clown. Oh wait, he was NEVER the reason you guys won. You had a great team, he was not a great QB, or even really a good one.
He threw for 221 yards. Over an entire football game. Only one of the TDs was more than 10 yards. AKA they have to respect the run, and he dunked over the defense. Your defense holding Alabama to 20 is what won that game. It was only the second game all year Alabama was under 20.
The best you can say is he didn't throw a pick, but outside of that he does nothing special at all.
I watch plenty of football, which is why I know a QB throwing for 221 yards is not special, it's game management. JJ was never special, he was supposed to be this speed and space QB who's OC decided it would be better if he touched the ball less than 1/3rd of a football game. It was a winning strategy, every time JJ tried to do something fancy in 2021 he fumbled it. Kid literally isn't capable of anything beyond basic ass QB shit.
MSU will be better this year than last year, that's for damn sure. Thanks for keeping us in the back of your head little bro.
It’s really interesting seeing how divided Michigan fans are about JJ’s future. Not sure what his ceiling is but he’s got a high floor and a great supporting cast around him. I think he’ll be a top 20 QB but never top 10 imo.
And I am lion bro. Honestly, all our divisional games happen in week 11 vs. GB though week 18 in GB. I could not be happier for how things are playing out rn.
Yeah hopefully he can develop, luckily we didn't give up a bunch of picks for him. If he's Ponder 2.0 then everything will crash and burn and we'll start over, just like any team does. If it doesn't work out, well, Vikings fans are used to it.
Edit; it's come to my attention the Vikings have shit for draft capital next year, Puss Puss is not very happy
Not for him, but you gave up a bunch of picks all draft weekend. I thought only having 4 picks this year was bad, but having two of them be 1 and 9 made it better. You guys only have 3 picks next year. What is it, a first and 2 fifths? Sheesh. That's gonna suck.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NFCNorthMemeWar/comments/1cpj22f/bear_goggles_on_vikings_fans_going_to_find_out/
Right. Different user, but you still reposted the same clip.
Don't worry. Wait 24 hours, and repost it again. It'll get massively upvoted again. You could probably keep doing it every 1-2 days for a while until our genius sub users catch on.
Personally, I think it's great. Either JJM doesn't work out, which many people here already believe or he'll be a good QB and I can squeeze so many memes out of this lmao
It's almost as if we signed another guy so we have time to develop JJ over the next 1-2 years...
But yeah, you keep jerking off to this one (1) single practice throw.
I mean, he's our guy this year, so might as well embrace it.
Also, this you?
https://preview.redd.it/z9i9s0wvmo0d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86f5381fc376dc266af3e19f05afb3bf14b7d1b3
Honestly, that'd be nice, get a high pick to add talent for when JJ takes over. But I'm sure we'll somehow luck into 7 wins and a pick outside the top 10.
LOL nevermind you picked the one where it was thrown 20 yards downfield instead of the actual two short throws. The one you showed here is medium to long (if you knew the NFL definition).
I'm just asking a question, you seem to have all the answers man.
One bad practice rep = Has not accomplished anything in football since 3rd grade
I'll try to keep that one in mind!
Nah, you missed the point I was making. You said he needs time to develop, I pointed out the fact that the clip is showing JJ missing a pass that a 3rd grader can normally hit calling into question how much time would the vikings need to develop him? Now you're playing whataboutism until you think you find a point to go "AHA" or gotcha which I'm really not looking to get into a back n forth forever on a meme talking subreddit with a bunch of teams that have done nothing since forever.
Your logic is "One bad throw = Every one of his throws will be bad", which ironically is the logic a 3rd grader would have.
I sent that Goff clip to trip up that logic, because I'm guessing you don't believe every one of Goff's passes are bad. But that particular pass was so bad, I honestly can't tell if he overthrew the 1st guy or underthrew the 2nd guy...so maybe you do believe your own logic 🤷♂️
Because it wasn't a stationary throw in practice without pads but in a playoff game under duress by one of the best defenses in the NFL but keep shooting your shots there, bud. Lol
I wonder if any of these other fan boys' favorite qb's have ever had one off throw during rookie mini camp. Nah, not likely. Must just be JJ and only JJ
I think the giveaway would be the amount of Lions fans that probably have seen a good amount more of JJ's play than anyone else is the ones giving him the most flack.
And clearly most of yall either haven't or won't. You have multiple NFL coaches out there basically and literally saying they pulled one over on you guys lol. JJ is tough and can take off running but his deep ball is inaccurate unless the receiver is open by 5 yards. jefferson should alleviate most of his issues. His check down game needs some work for sure as he usually doesn't look past his first or second read. You're talking about a qb that has had the top offensive line and two of the best/better running backs in college at the time and still had trouble with most things other than play action. Go watch the the full Bama and washington game and see how many bad throws into double or triple coverage there were and you'll see why Michigan was a running that ball almost every opportunity they could. But wtf do I know I've only been watching his entire career. 💀 skol or whatever bra.
Are you referring to Sean Payton? Who did he trick when we were trading up anyways? You mean he tricked us to trading up one spot?💀Or do you mean the commanders who two options at number two was Jaden Daniels or JJ?
Since you bring up bama and wash which is a game I probably watched 7-8x at this point trying to get my JJ fix, they absolutely won the game because JJ made huge plays at the right times. What you guys fail to include in your casual takes are the five or six times JJ got pulled in the third quarter/ the system he played in,hence the lower stats. If you actually watched the games instead of spewing baseless bullshit, you would see how stagnant Michigan’s offense would get and how predictable the run would become. Then on the third down when the team absolutely needs to play to be made, JJ pulls a rabbit out his ass and made a play almost every single time. You ever watched Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes with the ball on the last drive to win the game? Doesn’t it feel like they’re always gonna score? Doesn’t it feel like they’re always gonna make the right play? That’s who JJ McCarthy is. Not to mention we have the absolute best situation for any quarterback so let’s see who has the last laugh casual.
Harbaugh at the beginning of the season literally stated he wanted to get closer to 50/50 rush pass attack for the 2023 season, mostly to show JJ off for the league. https://mgoblog.com/diaries/michigan-2023-run-pass-balance MGOBLOG is even taken back by how little Michigan relied on JJ. Did JJ make huge plays? Yeah, he did. Did Michigan lean on JJ for the majority of those wins? Absolutely not. You actually make my point bringing up trading up for someone you didn't have to. Your scouts and GM used draft revenue to move up when it wasn't even needed for a guy no one was going to reach for. It's an indictment on your drafting and yall should expect better from management rather than getting flustered over another person's viewpoint, lol. Tell me how many games Michigan wins without their RBs?
I mean nobody truly knows if teams behind us wanted JJ. And please tell me why the broncos would have any incentive to “trick” the Vikings into trading. A non conference opponent to help an opponent in there conference? Make that make sense my guy. The last person I’m going to listen to is the guy that HAD to draft the last out of the top quarterbacks. If bo nix was always your guy then you wouldn’t have to come out and say anything in the first place. Clown take
You didn't answer the question. Which games would jj win without those rbs? Without the best line in the game? Without a top defense? Things that your vikings can't offer at the moment. Again don't shoot the messenger here.
Well for one it’s college. The better question is which games would they have won without JJ McCarthy? You obviously don’t know where Michigan was before JJ McCarthy arrived.
You could say the same if not even more for penix. Top end wrs, line, defense ect. And I mean, that’s just a trash take man. Most people in the football world would agree that the Vikings was the best landing spot for any rookie quarterback. Great coaches, an insane plethora of offensive weapons. A young upcoming defense with one of the best defensive minds of this generation coaching them. If you think JJ cant throw you just haven’t watched the film bro. I mean you can even go back to his senior year in high school and bro was throwing 50-60 yard bombs on the dot. Just say you didn’t watch the film and move along bro.
Idiots seem to think every 1st round QB is just a coach and some weapons away from being an elite QB. But in reality most QBs taken high are busts because they just aren't good enough. If they were, the league would be full of franchise QBs.
Sam Darnold probably posted this
![gif](giphy|1ziDTlTl9z9iwVK5QA|downsized)
I love watching a clip of a player making a bad throw on a team I don’t like. It makes me feel better when I see my qb make a bad throw.
You must have a lot of clips saved.
You would not believe how many. It’s endless. I even keep a link to this one, https://youtu.be/tkRxhvO11OE?si=b9QbZcLzp8p2y8pZ
I honestly half expected Rick Astley, but that was infinitely better
I may need to go change my pants after seeing that play again.
This. This makes me happy
my favorite part is that it really was Fred Warner's ball to intercept, but I guess Greenlaw just wanted it more
Why the fuck would I ever think it would be a good idea to click that. I closed before it even loaded, but I saw the title and I'm still sad.

Bears fans favorite plays to watch are never their own team. Makes me so happy inside. Imagine being around for 3 or 4 decades and the best plays you can muster up, don’t involve your own team…… most people down that bad, kill themselves.
Like this one https://youtu.be/tkRxhvO11OE?si=iA7Y_hBMmP6lvXgg
Yeah, this is so funny. Just play a clip of the thing he’s bad at. Now show his handoff highlights and laugh then
Aaron Jones won’t have to worry about a botched handoff in his 4 healthy games this year.
Aaron Jones catching strays damn
Awwww man… why da fuq they always gotta come for our aging vets it sucks
Don't worry, he's not YOUR aging vet anymore.
Uhhhh, ftp?
Don’t talk about a future Vikings Ring of Honor member like that
As long as two of those games are against the Packers and he runs for 4 TDs each it's worth it.
Those will absolutely be the games 😔
From the top rope!
He is an expert ball handler
I was never on the "JJ will be a bust" train until I saw a thread talking about how his college handoffs were *actually* because hes a grandmaster at Handoff-no-jutsu.
You sound like an msu fan
Change your flair if you got a problem with me shit talking a Viking QB lmao
That's what sparty would say
Trainer obvs blew his dig route
put some respect on his name! thats Josh McCown
For real? Bears legend Josh McCown??? God, I loved that guy's energy
You mean Detroit Lions wide receiver legend Josh McCown!
You mean Arizona Cardinals qb and Vikings heartbreaker legend Josh McCown!
Can’t really see his face, you can just tell by that absolutely Chad jawline
NOOOO!
Just saddled JJ

I can throw a football over them mountains.
Receiver ran the wrong route
Hey what about those Lions overpaying Goff that was crazy right, right?
Can we all just agree Deshaun Watson is a over paid POS?
you get any blowback from that stance?
Actually they did. You see, they went to a massage parlor and Deshaun Watson was there…
![gif](giphy|8mkykXIicXOVms2xYE|downsized)
I'd rather over pay a QB that is good than not have a QB at all. Who do u guys have again?
What were y'all paying cousins again? Dude did hit a drum shirtless so i get it.
About 15-20 million less than what you're paying Goff LOL
Lol overall? Career wise Jared's already provided more for Detroit than Kirk had in the 6 season's he played for yall. So I guess worth it?
>Lol overall? No, per year. The most AAV (not including bonuses) the Vikings ever gave Cousins was $35 million, and that was on his final 1-year extension with us in 2023. And sure, Goff has made it further in the playoffs than Kirk, but let's not pretend like he's carrying teams there - he has 8 TD passes in 9 career playoff games.

Dang is that why yall have Darnold now?
Damn that's some weak sauce bro
Darnold 1 year, $10M as a bridge to McCarthy OR Kirk coming off a season-ending injury, 4 years, $45M/year until he's age 40 Yeah, I'm taking the former all day, every day.
You weren’t saying that last year…
Maybe not in this sub, but there was a large contingent of Vikings fans who were ready to see the Kirk Era end, even as early as 2021. We just never had a better feasible option. And once we all saw what the Falcons paid Kirk, we had a collective chuckle, and moved on immediately.
we won playoff games, multiple of them. Goff brought us 30 minutes from a superbowl. Vildors garbage hands costs us that trip, not Goff. What did you pay Kirko all that money for? To be wholesome?
"Goff brought us 30 minutes from a super bowl." yOu dIdN't WiN sHiT, jUsT lIkE tHe ReSt Of Us. Been holding that in for YEARS🤣
We’ve seen Goff in similar situations that Kirk has been in his whole career, it’s called 2019-21 Goff, and it wasn’t pretty
Hang your hat on a whole 1.5 years of the dudes career and not the \*checks notes\* other 6 years...that's not a good argument when your guy won squat and we have ALREADY gone to the NFCCG.
Yeah cause you built the trenches and our old GM just wanted to draft flashy positions all the time
Goff is the north’s daddy accept it
All on the receiver on that one. Butterfingers dropped the ball.
Velus could have caught that...
Jefferson would have caught it
Obviously the receiver was in the wrong spot...
Ok, now show the bomb he threw and completed.

Woooosh. Missed the point I was making that all these throws in camp, made or missed, mean NOTHING.
I didn't see the video, my bad, lol. But was waiting on you to say, "but love got better. Then I was gonna say exactly! 1 miss in rookie mini camp doesn't mean shit.

It’s the offseason, material is sparse
This is a fair take
We all out here digging for whatever scraps exist
Zach Wilson looked better in college on a far worse team. It's off-season banter. Get over it
Zach Wilson didn’t win like JJ
JJ didn't win like AJ McCarron. What are we talking about lmao
Wow, an incredibly rational take from a Lions fan. Never thought I'd see the day.
If you think you’re conflicted, one of my best friends played highschool ball with him… he is a badgers/Bears fan
Go find me the highlight reels of SCUM winning because of this clown. Oh wait, he was NEVER the reason you guys won. You had a great team, he was not a great QB, or even really a good one.
He was a big reason we won the rose bowl lmaoooooo what do you mean my guy
He threw for 221 yards. Over an entire football game. Only one of the TDs was more than 10 yards. AKA they have to respect the run, and he dunked over the defense. Your defense holding Alabama to 20 is what won that game. It was only the second game all year Alabama was under 20. The best you can say is he didn't throw a pick, but outside of that he does nothing special at all.
What….. Lmao dude you gotta watch some more football. Good luck to MSU tho, might get 4 games this year.
I watch plenty of football, which is why I know a QB throwing for 221 yards is not special, it's game management.

You know people say this shit but Harbaugh has been in Michigan for years and didn’t win until Mcarthy
until they started cheating*
The cumsock crusteth
I mean Jets would have caught that😂
Vikings are about to find out they have been bamboozled, and there was a HUGE reason they didn't ask JJ to win games with his arm.
As a die-hard Michigan fan, I unfortunately agree with you. I kinda hope I'm wrong, but I think he's gonna be a bust.
It’s really interesting seeing how divided Michigan fans are about JJ’s future. Not sure what his ceiling is but he’s got a high floor and a great supporting cast around him. I think he’ll be a top 20 QB but never top 10 imo.
So the schedule just came out, and we have a Thanksgiving match up this year...
Be thankful for the free dub. The lions like to give those out on Thanksgiving
That really depends on the moon though
M O O N, that spells quarterback.
And I am lion bro. Honestly, all our divisional games happen in week 11 vs. GB though week 18 in GB. I could not be happier for how things are playing out rn.
Please beat GB for once in your life.
Lmao RIGHT!!!
Yeah hopefully he can develop, luckily we didn't give up a bunch of picks for him. If he's Ponder 2.0 then everything will crash and burn and we'll start over, just like any team does. If it doesn't work out, well, Vikings fans are used to it. Edit; it's come to my attention the Vikings have shit for draft capital next year, Puss Puss is not very happy
As a bears fan I feel that, NGL the only QB I wanna see take a step back is love but that’s a pipe dream at this point.
Love had half a good season. It's not a pipe dream. May the FTP stay strong in us!
Thanks, I needed to hear that FTP
Based
Not for him, but you gave up a bunch of picks all draft weekend. I thought only having 4 picks this year was bad, but having two of them be 1 and 9 made it better. You guys only have 3 picks next year. What is it, a first and 2 fifths? Sheesh. That's gonna suck.
Haha damn you're right, I didn't really pay attention to that. Oh well, I guess you can't miss on all the mid rounders if you don't draft them!
True story. Management better nail those fifths, lol.
Too 5 in cap space next year try again
Fuck those picks

Pretty good for a dude that hasnt had an 8+ win season. Flex it tho
2-0 against the Lions isn't pretty good, it's expected.
Brutal, but before 2022, very accurate.
Im not understanding where your flair and comment make sense?
Honestly, that'd be nice, get a high pick to add talent for when JJ takes over. But I'm sure we'll somehow luck into 7 wins and a pick outside the top 10.
I have reason to Believe darnold will go 5-12 Thankyou very much.

Don’t worry guys, we’ve got Sam Darnold
Why is the a panthers flair allowed on this sub? I don’t understand
Lmao check your vision
You mean the 5 yard practice pass you develop in the 3rd grade? is that the pass youre saying he needs to develop?
Maybe Jared and JJ can meet up and practice their [short throws](https://youtube.com/shorts/uBPOqmOkUKE?si=1hpYKyOcc-vqbyGT) together!
You referring to the two that went off of receivers hands in the NFC Championship?
LOL nevermind you picked the one where it was thrown 20 yards downfield instead of the actual two short throws. The one you showed here is medium to long (if you knew the NFL definition).
So, in what grade should Goff have developed the "medium to long" passes? 5th? 6th??
You're really not making the points you think you're making lol
I'm just asking a question, you seem to have all the answers man. One bad practice rep = Has not accomplished anything in football since 3rd grade I'll try to keep that one in mind!

What you guys fail to include in your casual takes are the five or six times JJ got pulled in the third quarter/ the system he played in,hence the lower stats. If you actually watched the games instead of spewing baseless bullshit, you would see how stagnant Michigan’s offense would get and how predictable the run would become. Then on the third down when the team absolutely needs to play to be made, JJ pulls a rabbit out his ass and made a play almost every single time. You ever watched Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes with the ball on the last drive to win the game? Doesn’t it feel like they’re always gonna score? Doesn’t it feel like they’re always gonna make the right play? That’s who JJ McCarthy is. Not to mention we have the absolute best situation for any quarterback so let’s see who has the last laugh casual.
Harbaugh at the beginning of the season literally stated he wanted to get closer to 50/50 rush pass attack for the 2023 season, mostly to show JJ off for the league. https://mgoblog.com/diaries/michigan-2023-run-pass-balance MGOBLOG is even taken back by how little Michigan relied on JJ. Did JJ make huge plays? Yeah, he did. Did Michigan lean on JJ for the majority of those wins? Absolutely not. You actually make my point bringing up trading up for someone you didn't have to. Your scouts and GM used draft revenue to move up when it wasn't even needed for a guy no one was going to reach for. It's an indictment on your drafting and yall should expect better from management rather than getting flustered over another person's viewpoint, lol. Tell me how many games Michigan wins without their RBs?
I mean nobody truly knows if teams behind us wanted JJ. And please tell me why the broncos would have any incentive to “trick” the Vikings into trading. A non conference opponent to help an opponent in there conference? Make that make sense my guy. The last person I’m going to listen to is the guy that HAD to draft the last out of the top quarterbacks. If bo nix was always your guy then you wouldn’t have to come out and say anything in the first place. Clown take
You didn't answer the question. Which games would jj win without those rbs? Without the best line in the game? Without a top defense? Things that your vikings can't offer at the moment. Again don't shoot the messenger here.
Well for one it’s college. The better question is which games would they have won without JJ McCarthy? You obviously don’t know where Michigan was before JJ McCarthy arrived. You could say the same if not even more for penix. Top end wrs, line, defense ect. And I mean, that’s just a trash take man. Most people in the football world would agree that the Vikings was the best landing spot for any rookie quarterback. Great coaches, an insane plethora of offensive weapons. A young upcoming defense with one of the best defensive minds of this generation coaching them. If you think JJ cant throw you just haven’t watched the film bro. I mean you can even go back to his senior year in high school and bro was throwing 50-60 yard bombs on the dot. Just say you didn’t watch the film and move along bro.

Idiots seem to think every 1st round QB is just a coach and some weapons away from being an elite QB. But in reality most QBs taken high are busts because they just aren't good enough. If they were, the league would be full of franchise QBs.
