He is a franchise QB next year? Has he guaranteed he will be starting in 2025?
There is also what a person says, and what a person does. KOC said all of these nice things about McCarthy...while giving all the reps with the 1s to Sam Darnold, the worst statistical starting QB since 2018. Darnold is not a franchise QB, but McCarthy who supposedly is a franchise QB isn't good enough to start ahead of him?
And for the record, prior to the injury I wanted McCarthy to start week 1, and that means I was actually higher on our QB than KOC was. Now I think he will need at least one season before he begins to hit his stride, if he ever does. I think KOC probably feels the same.
When that 22 year old misses most of camp, and all of the season and there is a history of that impacting QBs with years in the league, let alone QBs with no NFL experience?
I also still want McCarthy to start week 1 in 2025, I just think the Vikings will have a contingency plan in place and may need to consider drafting a QB with their #1 pick.
Afterall, if McCarthy fresh off of a championship run isn't good enough to beat out Sam Darnold for the starting spot, why would a rusty McCarthy be ready to go next year? If "the plan" KOC had for McCarthy was so important, when that plan goes out the window isn't there a danger of ruining McCarthy next year too?
