You may reconsider once you see McCarthy throw three picks in his first game. Experience is something you have to pay for in this league. Our current quarterback has zero completions in the NFL.

“He’s never played a snap/thrown a pass in the NFL” is such a weak argument.

Esp when it’s the players 2nd year after a no pressure film watching year, likely a lot of the time with KOC. And there’s was nothing he could do to change things.

Just bc you can repeat something over and over and it’s inherently true doesn’t mean it’s worth anything

And how is going to get completions in this league of they never let him play because people don't want him to play because he's never thrown a pass in the NFL?

At some point all of Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, Brett Favre, Steve Young, Kurt Warner, Fran Tarkenton, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Archie Manning, Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc....hadn't thrown a pass in the NFL. At some point JJ needs to be given a chance. We didn't draft him to sit on the bench for the next 5 years.

All I am saying is this; it is very arrogant not to have a legitimate backup plan. Last year they had a legitimate backup plan. They won 14 games.

With a better interior o-line, my expectation is 15+ wins. If not, it will be a disappointing season.

You need to realize that we changing our style to a more balanced attack. Similar to DET. We don't need a guy to throw it 40-50 times a game.

We've beefed up the Oline and traded for a 1B running back to go with 1A Jones.

What was the backup plan last year? Mullens? Rypien? Darnold being the starter was always the plan, even before McCarthy got hurt. We won 14 games because we didn't need the backup plan.

A 14 win season would be great, given our schedule will be a lot tougher next year.

When we broke camp, Sam Darnold was the backup plan. He may have been tabbed the opening day starter, but there was no doubt that McCarthy was going to be the starter at some point in the very near future.

Thank goodness we had a backup plan.

Who says they don't have a backup plan?

There is no reason to rush now. there is a date about 5 days after the draft when signing anyone will not have any effect on compensatory picks in 2026. We will sign a QB at that point and not before then.

My point earlier is that they are going to have to give the reins to JJ at some point...they don't need to sign his backup TODAY. It isn't arrogance we are dealing with here. It's patience.

Doesn't matter how many games you win in the regular season if you get shamed in the playoffs.

I'll take a 10 win season and any kind of playoff success over 13-14 reg season wins and the zombified QB rigor mortis we saw in 2024 and 2022. But especially in 2024. Pathetic.

One compelling reason to be excited about Rodgers? Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores had major conviction that he was a guy they should bring into their building, Kevin O'Connell said on Tuesday at the annual league meeting in Florida. And Flores is usually pretty accurate when he gets that way about a player, O'Connell added.

"Isaiah was a guy that Flo really identified pretty early," he said. "And historically, I haven't been doing this long with Flo, but when Flo kinda has that tone in his voice about guys — I'm not gonna mention the other ones that he has had that in his voice about — but he's been pretty darn accurate. And that guy, whether playing for us or somebody else, has immediately shown up. So no pressure on Isaiah, but he definitely got that evaluation from Flo."

KOC: "I think he's got the ability to make plays on the football, he's got some ability to do something with it when he does catch it. Whether he ends up being a part of the return game or not is really just going to come down to how the rest of our roster shapes out. Because I see Isaiah being an every-down impact guy."

Now be honest … you intentionally let the quote open without distinguishing which Rogers … just to prolong the sound of teeth gnashing.

Didn’t you?

Sam Darnold was not the backup plan. Do you really think he would have been yanked for McCarthy, given the year he was having?

Maybe it was if his team was behind by 10 or more at the start of the 4th quarter, where Rodgers lost a high percentage of those games.

There was some stat that didn't sound good in regards to the 4th quarter with Rodgers.

It wasn't just the date. The article was about Isaiah Rodgers, who was the first FA we signed this offseason.
