I halfway expected that to be another lie you or Grocery stick said that I said-lol
Well Sam’s story gives JJ quite a leash. He has 8 years, can play on 5 teams in 5 years, and even then he wasn’t the 3rd pick. So JJ can become some game manager somewhere.
Here’s the problem though. Windows are small. Every team only has a few years to have a shot at the ring. Look at the Rams. They had their shot. The Lions were right there. Now nope. Denver. The Seahawks now. The Chiefs were great for 5 years. I mean great. And bad this year.
So the Vikings had a window before Sam but were missing a functional QB. He was that and more for them and they really had their year last year. And Sam just laid an egg. Twice. Two biggest games. So they go with JJ. Thud. That means the Vikings have had elite talent and able to compete at the highest level for 3 years. They don’t have time for JJ to come up to speed. They may even start getting old and losing guys THIS off season. That’s just the way it works in a league where the average career is 3-4 years. Look at Terrel Davis. Man we thought he and Denver were gonna be awesome for years. One injury. Done. Bo Jackson, same.
JJ gonna get labeled with the downfall of the Vikings especially with Sam’s later success Neither are probably fair stories. Seahawks won because Sam stopped turning the ball over for 3 games. And their Defense was IMO one of the 3-4 great defensive performances of all time. I previously said the 85 Bears. And I think I said the 2016?? Broncos who beat Brady and then Cam Newton. I will add to that one of those Ravens teams. And obviously this Seattle squad.
