Purple Daily | a Minnesota Vikings podcast · Where Minnesota Vikings and JJ McCarthy go from here · 13 Aug 2026 podcast

It's it's not working here. voice-verified

I don't I don't feel a great connection to maybe the head coach or whatever. voice-verified

Like even if he actually feels that way, he's not really in a position to make that demand, even hint at that demand publicly. voice-verified

The if if his goal is to stay and be Vikings quarterback long term, he said the right things, put your head down, keep working, keep getting more accurate, just keep keep getting better at voice-verified

as a 23 year old back. voice-verified

But if he also would rather just be in Los Angeles with Jim Harbaugh or back in Michigan with the the Detroit Lions or whatever, the way that you would facilitate that is to say exactly what he said yesterday and just say the right things and be humble and and not show the league that because if a soundbite gets out of him saying, Yeah, I don't really know what my future holds here. voice-verified

I don't really I just I don't know if this is the right fit for me, then teams are gonna say, Oh, okay, dude. voice-verified

Like what ground do you have to stand on to like demand your way out via trade? voice-verified

So now the question is what's next? voice-verified

And it was very interesting that fellow uh Michigan man Adam Schefter came out and said, and he doesn't just float his opinion. voice-verified

So he's my guess is he's probably talking with people maybe in McCarthy's camp, but he went on ESPN yesterday and said it certainly feels like McCarthy's days in Minnesota are now numbered. voice-verified

So a a bunch of things would have to happen for him to be on another team. voice-verified

There'd have to be a market. voice-verified

I think he'd have to play really well in a couple preseason games, which could start this Saturday. voice-verified

But to me there's two main avenues here, and you guys check me if you think I'm wrong here. voice-verified

Avenue one is he sticks around as the QB2 for the Vikings, which would open up two different paths down that avenue. voice-verified

One within that would be he sits all year. voice-verified

Kyler Murray's healthy, plays all year, and JJ just is the backup quarterback or one of the two backup quarterbacks he develops. voice-verified

It's the gap year that maybe Kevin O'Connell wanted initially a year ago when they whiffed on Daniel Jones and maybe whiffed on Aaron Rodgers. voice-verified

And you're kind of back to the Jordan Love plan. voice-verified
