My word. They would have been better off taking a chance on a Mr. Irrelevant QB pick than this clown. Maybe that's the goal, just get a passer rating above N9NE

I remember banging my head against the wall. Maybe he did that in the locker room! OR the more plausible explanation is the staff is making an excuse to bench him
I remember him scrambling in the 2nd quarter and made a first down but got rocked pretty good. He looked pretty dazed and I couldn't believe he didn't get pulled to test for a concussion
What's the story on why the Vikings decided to bring in Sam Howell in the preseason then promptly cut him before the first game?
Im not saying he would be the savior but a couple years ago he was slinging it around for 300 or more yards most game. He would have been a huge upgrade on whatever this is called now.

At this point, Hunter Dekkers would be a better option than JJM
It would be nice to also have our special teams units stop giving up free points in games.
The only unit playing somewhat passably well is some stretches of the defense. Even they don't force many turnovers (and the offense has a ton of course, as well as special teams), so their contributions don't show up much either. They're on the field all the time.

JJ HAS to be better, but this guy needs reps and a full off season before we throw in the towel on a rookie QB contract
I am not ready to give up on JJ. But he has been truly awful. And he seems to get worse each week. I just want to see SOME sign that he has it. Because to this point, he doesn't.
He’s not only been bad, he’s showing he is injury prone. Only positive has been the glimpses of mobility.
I am very out on JJ, but he has shown a clutch gene as well. But being clutch and some mobility does not cover up being one of the worst QBs of all time if you look at the numbers for the other 98% of the game
You're stuck with this season no matter what, but if he keeps rolling out there for a few more games and still does not show any meaningful growth, I'd rather cut away too early over too late.
It's not like he's just playing "Sean Mannion" bad. He's basically playing some of the worst QB football played in decades. We're closer to Josh Rosen or Nathan Peterman than a Davis Mills or Mason Rudolph type setup. None of that is good, but there's levels to it, and we are decidedly on a really, really, really low level.
I think all I can say from the couch about the draft strategy is that your coaching staff runs a long, deep pass-heavy offense and wants to lean on that. You've gotta be looking to draft guys who have thrown thousands of balls in college -- not guys winning games on 15 completions per while the rest of the system around him does all the work. Take Bo Nix for example -- that guy threw nearly 2,000 passes in college games. JJM threw just over 700 total.
This. He just literally can't seem to play the position. It's just so hard to watch.
Allen was NEVER this bad. And he showed progress during his rookie year. I recall he had a nice game vs the Vikings that year
