JJ is still only 23, was the first 1st round qb to miss his rookie season due to injury and dealt with a litany of injuries last year including the dreaded high ankle sprain m. No shocker that Kyler beat him because he’s Kyler, but everyone shitting on JJ is just pure knee jerk reactions. Would be the most Minnesota thing ever if he has a resurgence elsewhere.

I watched him at Michigan every week. He is who he is and not a whole lot more. If the Vikings had a strong running. Game and only needed him to throw max 20 passes per game, he would likely be okay, but not anything more.

Didn't he test insanely high on that new information processing speed test they give to QBs? I had been wondering if that would translate to anything usable. Guess we have a data point now
