They left too much time for JJ

Yeah. I’m not ready for bed, OT works for me.

[Aggies7]

What are these play calls? That was a terrible pass lol

Giants lost that game running a qb run on 3rd down previous drive 

[nicksaviking]

I guess the Giants losing is best for the Vikings? I really dislike all NFC East teams and I kind of enjoy when they play each other and the game hardly matters.

JJM throws a game ending INT?

Hurts if anything. Giants will be 3 or 4, almost certainly. Washington maybe the only sort of threat. Don’t want them getting too hot and winning lots of games.

He has completed almost 70% of his passes in a game played about half in the rain with >270 yds and a QB rating of 105. What Viking QB has come close to that this year. 

They must have won the game then, right?

I can see Bill Hader doing KOC.

The NFC North still has 8 games against each other. A 4 or even 5 loss Giants team could still grab the #2 seed. And I’ll take a game against Dan Quinn in the playoffs over John Harbaugh.

I was unaware only the QB determined that? He played well. Why is that hard to accept?

Couldn’t agree more. Too many people online reference his W/L record more than anything else…

I hope the Giants extend him a contract for an extraordinary amount of guaranteed money. He’s not a top QB and will never be one.

I never said he was? I have no idea if he'll ever get better. I hated the pick. I just don't understand why we can't acknowledge when he plays well?

I mean, Marino sucked, right? Never won the big one.... Which was my point. QB win loss is a bad stat.

Why do that when he’s no longer on the team? People stop caring after a while like the Louis Varland trade. Eventually we’ll try gaslighting people the trade wasn’t that bad

It’s relevant because of how things have played out so far for the Vikings. Imagine if they hadn’t been able to trade for Kirk. Brosmer would be starting this week, probably. Backed up by ?. Until the Vikings get the position right, or coaching changes are made, we’ll have to hear about darnold and McCarthy and the people making the decisions that led to them not being here.

Well we did trade for Kirk. So that hypothetical means as much to me as what if it was a bullpen game on June 7th?

I’d rather Kirk here now, hopefully he plays well. We’ll see if he’s here next year though. Stability is what we need at that position.

It's a week 10 other games thread.

That will take a lot of gas.

I think there are multiple reasons that people find JJM’s play with the Giants interesting. JJM was the highest drafted QB in Vikings history. After just 4-6 weeks with the Giants he is playing much better than someone who was 3rd on Vikings QB depth chart. He seems to be accurate and making throws over the middle things that he was not able to do in Minnesota. Last night he made a number of big time throws that neither Murray or Wentz could achieve. As one approach to building a Super Bowl contender is to draft a QB and using the $$ saved by his rookie contract to build elsewhere on the roster. That was the Vikings plan with JJM and they gave up after 10 games.  For better or worse, the Vikings offensive coaches and GM will be judged by how well JJM does with the Giants. For me, it is difficult to understand how The Vikings QB room is better without JJM. Trading JJM for 5th round draft pick was a high risk low reward transaction and when management does this they better be correct.
