We went all in on this guy.

We're not going to abandon him now.

But a 14-2 season before those two losses at the end, that's a tough one to swallow if you're a Vikings fan.

And now the weight of the world is on McCarthy because you add that on...

with both of your quarterbacks being in the same draft class, with Bo Nix being in that draft class.

And it's like, there's two separate things on his shoulders.

There's, oh my gosh, I've got to be the savior of this franchise.

And we let all this quarterback talent out the door.

And oh, by the way, all my contemporaries, all my peers are fucking awesome on their teams.

They might.

Look, we are very...

we have a great luxury to look back in hindsight and do this.

Now those eight days, that final Sunday night game against the lions.

And then that treacherous Monday night game in Arizona against the Rams, Darnold looked awful.

So it was almost like 14 wins was great.

And your comeback when in Seattle was huge.

Your comeback when in Chicago was huge.

And all those amazing throws you made all season when we needed you most, you weren't there.

And I think that's what they put their head on the pillow with like, all right, we drafted this guy.

When it mattered most, this guy wasn't able, we're not going to pay him a hundred.
