The Minnesota Vikings have officially concluded their rebuilding phase, aimed at revamping the team over the past three years. The spotlight is on quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who has recently spoken to press about his recovery from knee surgery, addressing doubts about his readiness for the upcoming season. Notably, Vikings fans feel a strong desire for a homegrown quarterback, rather than relying on transient players. This sentiment emphasizes the fans' frustration with the team's historical pattern of cycling through various quarterbacks, hoping McCarthy will finally provide the longevity and success they crave.
That's second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy speaking to the Twin Cities press this week for the first time since fully recovering from the meniscus repair surgery he underwent last year.
Vikings fans have spent their whole lives watching their team make the occasional foray into the playoffs using some other team's quarterback.
I didn't want Aaron Rodgers. I didn't want Sam Darnold coming back on a reward contract.
Every Vikings fan did. You could hear them marching down Hennepin Avenue, loudly chanting, "START THE KID (DONTCHA KNOW), START THE KID (DONTCHA KNOW)."
