Tom, Tom Grayton says, did the franchise let down JJ or did JJ let down the franchise asking for a friend?
voice-verified
again.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
Um, but he's asking for a friend, so we'll, we'll answer.
voice-verified
That's, frankly, a perfect segue into JamesLion163's question on YouTube, and he says, It's interesting that you believe O'Connell about him still believing in McCarthy, but you don't believe him when he said that this was going to be a QB competition.
voice-verified
That's confusing.
voice-verified
Do you want to address maybe your feelings on one versus the other and why you believe KOC is still backing McCarthy's long-term development?
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And when it comes to your belief in someone or something and not having trust issues whatsoever, I know when it comes to your banking options, you have one option that you trust wholeheartedly.
voice-verified
Next one is an email from Tad.
voice-verified
oaks or oax pardon me tad but he says it seems that the choice to go to kyler is to save o'connell's job but that seems counterintuitive going with the youth and jj would give him a scapegoat especially when jj was playing as good or better than kyler thus far in training camp and you could trade kyler for 2027 assets i can't wrap my head around the decision maybe you can provide some light
voice-verified
He says that going with the youth and J.J.
voice-verified
McCarthy would give Kevin O'Connell a scapegoat pretty much as like, oh, I think in the long term if it doesn't work out, it's like, oh, he's still learning and developing, especially when J.J., he feels, was playing as good or better than Kyler thus far in training camp.
voice-verified
And then you would be able to trade Kyler Murray for some assets in the 2027 draft.
voice-verified
He says he just can't wrap his head around the decision to go with Kyler over JJ McCarthy.
voice-verified
yeah this one feels like one of those instances where the answer is in the question itself because yeah i mean like you said they haven't won a playoff game he's got to get that done it seems like when you think about it rationally like a guy who's 23 10 starts in his career
voice-verified
do you want him to control the offense?
voice-verified
Like long-term, I think there's definitely a case for that, but for a one season one-off, I'm probably taking the guy who has won an offensive rookie of the year award, a former Heisman winner, a two-time pro bowler.
voice-verified
It makes sense to think like on paper, that guy probably is more suitable for a one-off year to where you're talking about trying to win, trying to save that career or not save the career, but like save the job and
voice-verified
potentially get an extension rather than if he sticks with the guy that I know you've banged the drum a lot on, he advocated to draft for.
