Oh Saints, I almost forget about you every year, but then you do something lulz worthy - they're apparently giving Justin Toucher, I mean Tucker, a tryout.

Why? Even ignoring all the Sexual Misconduct allegations - were they ever proven? I completely stopped hearing about them the second the Ravens dropped him - he was fucking washed the last time we saw him...

You mean the sexual allegations that popped up conveniently while he was on his decline?

Yeah real coincidental those.

Much as I joke about the League being willing to overlook things, if not outright sweep them under the rug, as long as a players talented enough, the timing on those was a bit too perfect. Hell, I only mentioned them because I legitimately never heard any followup regarding them once he was cut, and the easy Justin Toucher joke.
 
The broadcast crew had a pretty diabolical Purdy graphic about 15+ yard throws and I missed screenshotting it by a fraction of a second, but it was essentially this.
On 15+ yard throws this season he has 1 TD and 6 interceptions

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have placed quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the concussion protocol, putting his availability for the upcoming game at Seattle in question.

McCarthy first reported symptoms during the team's travel home from the 23-6 loss at Green Bay, coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday. The medical staff made the decision to put him in the protocol after returning to Minnesota, O'Connell said.

O'Connell declined to answer specific questions about the severity or nature of McCarthy's symptoms. He did not rule McCarthy out for this Sunday but said rookie backup Max Brosmer would step in with the first-string offense in practice this week until or unless McCarthy is cleared.


“I'm not ready to make any sort of designation for the game or anything like that,” O'Connell said. “We'll let the process play out.”

With 10th-year veteran Carson Wentz out for rest of the season following shoulder surgery, the only other quarterback on Minnesota's roster is John Wolford, a 30-year-old journeyman on the practice squad.

McCarthy, who missed his rookie season recovering from knee surgery and sat out five more games this season with a high ankle sprain, has struggled mightily to find any kind of rhythm. He went 12 for 19 for 87 yards with two interceptions and five sacks against the Packers, as the Vikings (4-7) lost their third straight game.

Did he play better than expectations, kinda, but it’s the fucking 2025 Raiders. The bar to beat the Raiders is comically low, you could probably put a paraplegic in there and they’d look like Peak Brady against the fucking Raider Defence.

He’s better than Gabriel by being able to not overthrow screen passes and throw the ball more than 5 yards for a check down. Stefanski is a fucking clown who let Baker play injured and treated him like trash. I actually will defend Shedeur on the basis of Stefanski being a dipshit.

They think they’ll out smart them when good football is literally “run a play that works, if that works keep running until the other keep can stop it”. The worst games are when one team realizes the other can’t stop a jet sweep for their life and just keeps fucking running it.

So Chiefs vs Cowboys on Thanksgiving, which one is the lesser evil?

Yeah he did better, but it’s no coincidence that he actually had a few linemen healthy. Even with a healthier offense he had like 10 3 and outs, and 60 of his yards came off of a quick first read screen pass. All the niggers dixkriding him are probably in for a rude awakening. I just hope we play sanders enough this year to realize he’s not our guy.

They desperately want him to be the next great black hope at QB. Its just funny watching black Twitter go off like he had this Peyton Manning like performance, dude played against arguably the worst team in the league and still only completed 50% of his passes lol.
 
Bills signed Brandin Cooks, which is coincidentally how I found out Cooks is still in the league

I blame analytics causing playcallers to forget about the fundamentals. Computer says stacked box = pass

Purdy has complained about not being able to see over the line. You know the shorter QBs can't. So you're asking them to make a short layered pass over the DL to a receiver they can't even see and they probably have a free pass rusher coming at them to make it even more fun.

The only time it makes sense is when you can't have guy get tackled on the field because of the clock, but you're also risking an int every time you do it especially with the short king QBs who can't even see where anyone is

I actually don’t want to see him crash and burn, but go through what Baker did. Do relatively well, get injured, play through it because Stefanski is a fucking retard, get treated like trash, and redevelop as a secondary. He’s not bad, but good lord his ego is.

The discourse around Shedeur has been insane and I have no idea what set it off.

For those who haven't seen it, here are all his dropbacks from the last game.


To me this actually shows a lot of promise. Some overthrows. He missed a defender making a play on the ball which is where the INT came from. He can make layered passes. Nice deep throw on the run. Good job moving around the pocket. He stepped up when pressured instead of doing his usual running away backwards for a sack.

He is also slow as molasses. Falcons have Cousins, Penix and Trask so Cleveland should make a trade offer next offseason to see if they want another one.

They're reaching for anything since Stroud and Daniels fell back to earth, Hurts and Love disappear for 3 quarters almost every game, and Lamar showing he's incapable of handling high pressure situations and is significantly worse when the rest of his team isn't playing well.
 
The sunday Packers game was literally the worst offense I've seen come from the Vikings in my lifetime (and probably in franchise history). I couldn't even comprehend what I was watching lol. I get that he was a handoff merchant and cheater in college but this dude is playing worse than anyone else in the league by a lot. Some other fun stats; McCarthy has the second worst EPA per dropback out of 852 eligible passers since 2000, only beaten out by Jamarcus Russel. The sad thing is is that Russel was on a worse team and just didn't try to play or watch film or anything. McCarthy is actually trying supposedly and is still doing this bad. He's also now out on concussion protocol so we might be bringing in Brosmer for the next game. Praying to god our GM Kwesi gets fired this offseason.
