Murray named starting QB for Vikings; JJ McCarthy officially a bust

He certainly did

Was it him or the team? Lions also lost to a guy that had what 50 something passing yards.

That TD run… I accepted that AA had lost a step. I think the Lions brass thought the same. And let’s not bring up the blocked FG, or my boy Monty fumbling inside the 20.

The team played their games vs Minnesota last year

If he looked good enough, we would’ve traded up for him

The entire supporting evidence as to why this and why that is completely contradictory throughout the whole thread. Here’s another oneā€¦ā€he had few attempts in college so of course his % is high.ā€ Followed by stating his air yards per completion in the NFL with 10 career starts (which he won 6 of those btw).

I’m going to bow out on this one. Your mind was made up about JJ before he ever took a snap in the NFL. He has the traits you want as an NFL QB. But he was as far away as ready as a legit prospect can be. I don’t think anyone should be surprised he struggled to perform being throw into the fire following a lost season to injury.

I would take JJ over Dobbs or Altmeyer. That’s about it though.

He tends to stick to his narrative…even if he contradicts himself. He said all of JJ’s games in the pros he completed less than 60%..mind you he said every single one. Well that is simply not true as JJ had like 4 straight games of 60% or better and probably had like 5 such games overall. I’ve come to the understanding that there are fans, but then there are SUPER FANS or FANATICS. I know the word fan derives from fanatics, but to me you can be a fan of something and not a total fanatic.

How many interceptions does Herbert have to toss before Harbaugh kicks the tires on McCarthy? Jimbo loves his former college players, and he could probably get a disgruntled on the bench McCarthy fairly cheap. Especially if Murray is playing well for the Vikings.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Harbaugh was interested in acquiring JJ… But not bc of Herbert’s play, he’s safe and a top 10 QB in the league

i still can not blame Herbert for LAC struggles.

Last 4 years.

Hes had 1 year where his OLINE was top 15 pass blocking. Other 3 were bottom 10.

And all 4 years they were bottom 5 in run blocking,

Like his Oline isnt just bad, it’s HORRIBLE.

Don’t forget that we turned the ball over 6 times in that game.

I feel we downgraded at backup QB. We know the Lions can be real jerks with what they consider bottom of the roster guys. Hopefully losing Kyle wasn’t over peanuts.

Pretty sure Kyle Allen wanted to go back to Buffalo… He only signed for a few hundred grand more per year than the Lions paid Bridgewater. I guess he and Josh Allen are good friends :man_shrugging:

It’s possible but in the NFL 9 out of ten times it’s the money.

Herbert is a franchise QB who isn’t going anywhere. He’s the reason Harbaugh took that job.

If he brings in JJ at some point it isn’t to compete with Justin for the job.

If I could pick any position on the team to downgrade, it would be backup QB. Especially if we are talking about a downgrade from Kyle Allen.

Kyle Allen is the kind of backup teams sign when they have a bonafide starter. He’s little more than bottom of the barrel. Honestly, Dobbs is probably better. Even though I’m rooting for Altmyer to beat him out.

I liked Kyle Allen. Dobbs I’m not a fan especially on this offense based on precision and timing.
