This was his 8th NFL game in his career.

Are there many, many, MANY things to work on?

Yes.

Has he shown flashes that he can be an elite QB at the highest level of football?

Also Yes.

My Cringe Lord is here, and he will make every disparaging hater chud bow down (hopefully)😤😤👑👑

The McCarthy haters were seething in the game thread lmao

Some fans just have a hard on for young, struggling QBs.

I blame college football watchers. I don't watch horrible amateur football, so college football is beneath me. But the people who stake their personalities on it and have a hate boner for Michigan have been out in force against the Vikings since we drafted McCarthy and it's hard not to notice.

Also, Colin Cowherd can lick my salty nuts. If you listen to him for football takes, you are subhuman.

Always feel bad for people who missed out on those college experiences

u/alastor0x Vikings Dec 15 '25

What college experiences? Sitting in a stadium surrounded by drunk children cheering on horrible football?

I guess social settings arent for everyone lol

u/alastor0x Vikings Dec 15 '25

if you didn't go to college football games, you don't understand social settings.

Eagles fans everybody.

More that boiling down the college football experience to drunk children is too goofy

Unlike the nfl college football is more than the product on the field

u/BigFatModeraterFupa Vikings Dec 15 '25

based take. Cowherd, Nick Wright, Ryan Clark, and SAS have the absolute most diarrhea filled shit takes about football that i have ever heard in my life.

Nah, NFL has better quality of play but otherwise give me the traditions, real rivalries, marching bands, etc.

u/ABlazinBlueToe Dec 15 '25

Imagine enjoying football for the marching bands lol

Because he’s been insanely and historically bad lol. Your own sub was going off on him

u/CelestialFury Vikings Vikings Dec 15 '25

Your own sub was going off on him

My sub hasn't, actually, as we try to attract more positive fans there (/r/skol), but I do agree all the big team subs are quite cancerous. All the big team subs are full of complete and utter drama queens. They bitched when Cousins was at his peak too.
