Man I like J.J. more and more every time I hear of him. With him and Jefferson I'm loving the culture the Vikings seem to have. No matter what happens this season, I'm glad to have him on the team. Amor Fati

I suppose he hasn’t explicitly been told he’s QB1, but everything they’ve done this off season supports it being his time. I suppose they need to see what he can do in the next few months, but right now he has 0 competition. I expect a late decision on a vet QB to see how JJ progresses.

I’m curious to see how the national media will spin this again as a possibility for Rodgers. 😂

Thanks for including the context of the rest of the quote, Emily. Didn’t love the headlines on this because the real story is how incredible our QB’s mentality is. This is why he’s a winner. True leaders know you don’t need to be given the title to act like & be a leader. We’re so lucky to have him.

The other hilarious context being missed here is no one is asking, “Well why did Daniel Jones leave?” Think about it: if McCarthy QB1 was actually a question, why wouldn’t Jones try to win a starting job here? An objectively better coach/offense/Oline/receivers than Indy? Because he knew, JJ is QB1!
