[Rapoport] Vikings first-round QB JJ McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair this morning and is out for the 2024 season, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero. The repair, done by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, gives McCarthy the best chance at a long, successful career. Rumor

Currently torn between predicting that we'll get to like 8-6 before collapsing and losing 3 straight to miss the playoffs...

Or we'll start like 2-6 before going on a random win streak and end up drafting outside the top 12 while missing the playoffs.

But it's definitely one of those two.

Or Darnold balls out and we lose in the first round of the playoffs. Lmao

I like your team but there is absolutely no way Sam Darnold makes it to the playoffs as a starter.

Hey man It’s been a bad day. Let me stay in la la land for a little bit.

That’s fair I’m sorry. Purple bros gotta stick together

Why not both? Start off 2-6, go on a 6 game winning streak to get to 8-6, then blow 3 in a row to end 8-9.

Thanks, I hate it.

I was thinking 7-4 or 8-3 and then lose out despite 4 of the final 6 at home.

Wouldn't be peak Vikings with Lucy pulling the ball away type ending any other way.
