Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy has been receiving a lot of hate lately on social media. While his play has not been great, it is difficult for a quarterback to return from a long absence with any type of momentum. Unfortunately for McCarthy, he has missed nearly his entire young career due to injury. There is a reason why Jim Harbaugh, his former coach at Michigan, is a firm believer in his skill as a quarterback.

The Vikings need to get full buy-in from the entire team, and that starts with their star receiver Justin Jefferson. As chemistry continues to grow, so will McCarthy’s confidence.
