The national media still doesn't get it with J.J. McCarthy
0:03
Do they even pay attention? No. Let's talk about it. Minnesota Vikings QB1 this year is going to be J.J. McCarthy
0:15
Yeah, there was some flirtation with keeping Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones, and even some with signing Aaron Rodgers
0:21
But make no mistake, J.J. McCarthy is going to be QB1. We've gotten to know J.J. McCarthy a little bit
0:28
even though he's done limited media appearances because he's just an enigma
0:32
He was at Michigan too, meditating at the goalpost. And even after he got injured and tore his meniscus in the preseason game
0:39
that ended his rookie season, he tweeted out Amor Fatih, which is Latin for love of fate or love of one's fate
0:47
He's okay. He is just a very unique person and he's very confident of what is out in front of him
0:53
so why is the national media now starting to paint him as this egomaniac it doesn't make any sense
1:02
he said on up and adams that the vikings have not told him that he's qb1 going into the year and he
1:08
wants it that way he likes it because he wants to earn it the vikings want him to earn it too even
1:13
if the quarterback competition is somewhat of a farce if they end up bringing in ryan tannahill
1:18
which was uh they have had discussions about bringing him in according to jordan jordan schultz
1:22
over the weekend well even so like even if they have that farce of a competition he's going to be
1:31
the quarterback but Stephen A Smith and Shannon Sharp on first take took it a step further
1:36
this is just insane behavior talking about what do you want a QB reveal QB one J McCarthy what does he want them to roll up the red carpet for him Go play football man An abbreviated version of what Shannon Sharp and Stephen A Smith had to say
1:51
It's so far from reality, I can't even begin to fathom why they would think it
1:56
Oh, I know why. He doesn't play for the Dallas Cowboys. He doesn't play for the New York Giants
2:02
He plays for the Minnesota Vikings, a team that the national media just does not pay enough
2:07
attention to. They don't understand because they don't care to. And should I be bashing national media
2:14
It's hard to cover all 32 teams. You can't know the minutiae details of everyone
2:20
But at least try. At least try to make an effort. Try to understand who J.J. McCarthy is and what the Vikings are trying to do
2:30
It's just so clear that it's not in their best interest to do so
2:34
and it's very frustrating. You're going to have a few that do a really good job of making that effort
2:39
Shout out Mina Kimes. I don't think anybody does a better job of making an effort when it comes to the Vikings than her
2:45
But just understand what McCarthy is. He's going to be QB1. He wants to earn it
2:50
The Vikings want him to earn it. And he's unique. And I mean that in a positive way
2:56
He's okay with whatever life throws at him. I'm more fati. This whole ego stuff where he wants the red carpet rollout for him
3:05
No. He said in the interview that he likes that they didn't tell him
3:12
He's glad they didn't. How is that ego? It's a bunch of horse hockey is what it is
3:23
I'm Tyler Fronis with ADZ Sports. It's called Vikings
