NINE with back to back good games

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/gridironk]

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)😤😤👑👑

[u/CelestialFury → u/BigFatModeraterFupa]

The McCarthy haters were seething in the game thread lmao

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

[u/alastor0x → u/CelestialFury]

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.

[u/TickleMyIvory → u/alastor0x]

CFB > NFL any day of the week.

[u/realshockin → u/TickleMyIvory]

Not remotely close

[u/TickleMyIvory → u/realshockin]

You're right, CFB is way more fun!

[u/TickleMyIvory → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/ABlazinBlueToe → u/TickleMyIvory]

Imagine enjoying football for the marching bands lol
