You dont want your rookie qb tucked in under that nutjobs wing.

I dont care if he has a career year. He has maybe 2 years left. AND- not only did the vikings use a 1st round pick on JJ. They moved up, costing an addnl pick, to grab their "qb of the future".

Has any young qb gotten better learning from marty feldman? I may be wring, but i think love developed inspite of the bugeyed boy blunder.
Perhaps im wrong, maybe 12 held the kids hand & pumped him w self confidence. It didnt look that way from the outside.

I think Russ Wilson is similar in that regard.
Some guys arent teachers/mentors. Their Ego keeps them self focused.
By all accounts. Kirko was mentor material. I think flacco is as well. Most of those qb's in the conversation as GOAT? They are prima donna that looks to squash anybody coming for their job.

The top priority at wb for the vikings. It is & should be. Making the most of their top 10 draft pick qb.
Did Justin fields improve alongside wilson?
Did Zach Wilson improve alongside Rogers?
The answer is, both projects were released after 1 year with the aging star "mentor".

Idc if rodgers pays the vikings to wear purple.
He is the wrong guy at the wrong time.

Now, if the viking qb room was Darnold & Rypien. If McCarthy wasnt there. Then it might be different. Darnold had a great year. Maybe competing with Rogers improves a guy like sam, coming of a career year.
