Let's start with this Vikings Bears. JJ McCarthy, terrible, Liz. All right, 8 false starts. I mean, what more do you need with that team last week? Tell us how you really feel. No, I'll be honest, that's it. So JJ McCarthy has put together. Two good quarters in 4 games, I think is probably ah. Maybe he played a little bit better than 1 quarter. Maybe he's played like 3 good quarters of football, right? There was the, the quarter, the 4th quarter against the Bears was really good and it was good for maybe like a half against Detroit. I, I, you know, fine. All in all, though, it's been a rough start for McCarthy who's in this weird situation because he is a year 2 guy, but it's his first year playing after last year's injury. He is replacing Sam Darnold, who was prolific for this football team. Where are you at right now on McCarthy as not only pertains to betting him week to week, but trusting him potentially long term with the Vikings? I don't trust them long term. That game was glaring last week against, I, I understand Baltimore's playing much better defensively, but again. There were throws that were just not even close last week and again he I don't know. Like he just he's got that rookie panic at times, and I know you hear the reports, oh, the, the offensive linemen love him, you know, they, they see that fire in his eye, and what fire? What, what, what, what are we looking at? But he's going when he's walking around, he's going like this. He's calling himself not. I just, I, I, I don't understand like get the football to number. 18 and get the football to number 3. That is your job. Nobody cares about anything else, but getting the football to your top two playmakers, and he hasn't been able to do that consistently. Jefferson struggled last week. Addison didn't get a catch in basically until the 3rd, 3rd quarter. I mean, that, that's unacceptable. And they don't have a dominant rushing attack with Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones to carry them. They don't, and that's a problem. I think the Justin Jefferson piece of it is maybe the most important, Joe, because Justin Jefferson is Well understood to be one of the best players in this league, right? Even if you, you know, are changing some rankings around due to great years from JSN and Puca, that's one of the five best wide receivers in football by anything you look at. He has now had less than 50 yards in three of the four games that he's gone out there with, with JJ McCarthy. His low with Carson Wentz was 74, and he, I mean, had a broken shoulder basically it looks like throughout that entire run. And for Justin Jefferson. You can tell there's frustration. Now he's taking a lot more ownership, it seems, of the situation, Joe, maybe more so than what we've seen from some other wide receivers around the league, but If you can't get the ball to Justin Jefferson. You just cannot be the quarterback of this team. I, I think that's fair. Like that is a, a very simple setup here for this Minnesota team. McCarthy is not going to get a level of grace that other quarterbacks would I. How much do you think the ball is? Forced isn't my favorite word, but it's the one I have available, right? Forced to Justin Jefferson in this game. Well, again, you gotta give him targets. That's the bottom line. And that's why 12 last week, but that's why Jake Browning, uh, it wasn't the starter in Cincinnati because he wasn't finding Jason Higgins on a consistent basis. He wasn't doing that.
