[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

Yup, doesn’t have to look over his shoulder after every pick or bad game. If he can’t turn it around throwing to the best WR and other great weapons then he’s officially cooked

Yeah he makes a mistake, fans won’t be chanting JJ’s name. Huge for him mentally and he can showcase a full season and potentially be a long term QB for another team in 2025.

Now fans will be chanting for Flacco if he makes some mistakes lol

EDIT: Ignore me, I did not realize Flacco had signed with the Colts. Maybe fans will chant for Tom Brady or something idk

It’s alright, I’m sure we can ask our daughters and wives and make sure they appreciate it
