So, the Minnesota Vikings have decided to draft quarterback JJ McCarthy to be their quarterback of the future. And who better to mentor him than longtime quarterback Josh McCown, who will be serving as his position coach? It’s like the blind leading the blind, but hey, at least they’re trying, right?
During a recent press conference, McCown emphasized the importance of maintaining a growth mindset when working with McCarthy. Translation: “We have no idea what we’re doing, but we’re gonna pretend like we do.” It’s like when your mom tells you that you’re a special snowflake even though you failed your math test.
McCarthy, a highly touted young quarterback, has been turning heads with his skills on the field. With a strong arm and football IQ, he’s got potential. But let’s be real, potential only gets you so far. Just ask all those guys who were supposed to be the next Tom Brady.
McCown’s comments about supporting McCarthy’s growth and development are all well and good, but let’s not forget that this is the NFL we’re talking about. It’s a cutthroat business where one bad game can get you benched faster than you can say “I should’ve listened to my mom and become a doctor.”
As McCarthy continues to navigate the challenges of being a young quarterback, having McCown by his side will be invaluable. It’s like having a cheat code in a video game, except instead of unlimited lives, you get unlimited interceptions.
Ultimately, McCarthy’s success will depend on his ability to soak up all the knowledge and guidance that McCown has to offer. It’s like a quarterbacking masterclass, only with more sweat and less fancy camera angles.
So, will McCarthy be the next big thing in the NFL? Who knows. But one thing’s for sure, with McCown in his corner, he’s got a fighting chance. And if all else fails, he can always fall back on his math skills. Hey, someone’s gotta calculate those QB ratings, right?
