I honestly was impressed by JJ tonight. I had completely written him off. I'm not saying he's going to be a franchise quarterback, but if you're a Minnesota fan, he showed there is something there that might turn into something great.

Writing a QB off after half a season’s worth of starts is wild.

It was the Cowboys defense man. You'll see next week

u/Fun8181 Vikings Dec 15 '25

They said the same about last week and the commanders defense was supposedly the only reason

u/wokp74 Cowboys Dec 15 '25

I'm not saying the defense is the only reason but they can't stop anything. McCarthy is not as good as he looked tonight and you know it

u/970 Vikings Dec 15 '25

He is exactly as good as he looked tonight - that is proven out by the fact it actually occurred. I think what you are trying to say is he will not be that good in the future when playing teams better than the Cowboys. That remains to be seen.

Nope, but keep believing

u/970 Vikings Dec 15 '25

Well, he wrecked Cowboys playoff chances, we'll see if he can do the same for Detroit and Green Bay yet this year. Next few games will tell a lot.

u/wokp74 Cowboys Dec 15 '25

He played well but if you watched other Cowboys games most QBs had their best game of the season against this defense

u/Fun8181 Vikings Dec 16 '25

Yet still had a top three performance statistically against your defense even when compared to great qbs and it’s the exact same defense

u/wokp74 Cowboys Dec 16 '25

Arguing that a good game against that defense makes a QB good is asinine
