Purple Daily | a Minnesota Vikings podcast · Is Minnesota Vikings QB decision actually the best path for JJ McCarthy? · 13 Aug 2026 podcast

And from the comments yesterday, JJ gave, um, voice-verified

seems like he is totally on board, wants to stay here, wants to continue developing in this system. voice-verified

And of course, he's been named the QB2 right now. voice-verified

But I definitely understand that perspective. voice-verified

And I think JJ will be ready to go when his number is called, like he said. voice-verified

Irregardless of what you think of the Vikings' decision here, short term and then the path, I think we have to acknowledge that a lot of guys that have been in this situation that McCarthy have where you're demoted here, voice-verified

They, you know, whether it's sort of publicly or privately, definitely sort of rattled the cage and won out and want to go to a different place. voice-verified

Maybe you have a clear path to short term playing time, etc. voice-verified

JJ, from all indications, has not done that. voice-verified

He I mean, like when they came in with the mini camp, the OTAs told the reporters that this is where he wanted to be. voice-verified

He reaffirmed that yesterday. voice-verified

I absolutely believe him. voice-verified

And the Vikings plan that they laid out, with O'Connell, sometimes the stuff he lays out, you're not sure if it's true or not. voice-verified

But he sounded, at least he put on a decent, convincing thing with that. voice-verified

I think they were waiting to see how would JJ sort of take that news. voice-verified

All indications have been he handled it with grace, was really good internally. voice-verified

and that he's ready and prepared to continue developing, helping the team however he can until he gets that shot to start again. voice-verified

So it seems like everyone's on the same page kind of as an awkward kind of situation, and we weren't sure with the resolution how that was going to sort of play out. voice-verified

But it does seem like, at least right now, everyone's sort of saying kumbaya, and the plan that has been laid out here – voice-verified

Again, going back to the question, that perspective very well may be true. voice-verified
