Vikings Links:  In JJ We Trust

Most fans cant wait to see the hopeful QBOTF play

What do you think JJ McCarthy’s stats will be this year? I expect the Vikings to run better but not necessarily more. Maybe a little more because JJ will just be getting his first snaps.

Bo Bix completed 376 out of 567 passes (66.3%) for 3775 yards with 29 TDs and 12 INTs. He ran 92 times for 430 yards and 4 TDs.

Drake Maye completed 225 out of 338 passes (66.6%) for 2276 yards with 15 TDs and 10 INTs. He ran 54 times for 421 yards and 2 TDs.

Caleb Williams completed 351 out of 562 passes (62.5%) for 3541 yards with 20 TDs and 6 INTs. He ran 81 times for 489 yards and 0 TDs.

Jayden Daniels completed 331 out of 480 passes (69.0%) for 3568 yards with 25 TDs and 9 INTs. He ran 148 times for 891 yards and 6 TDs.

Sam Darnold completed 361 out of 545 passes (66.2%) for 4319 yards with 35 TDs and 12 INTs. He ran 67 times for 212 yards and 1 TD.

I think JJ will go something like 350 out of 515 for 3850 with 32 TDs and 10 INTs. I think he will run 60 times for 380 yards with 3 TDs.

Jalen Ramsey wants out of Miami and the Vikings would be a great fit

One of the biggest things the Minnesota Vikings have to prove in 2025-26 is that their cornerback room will be as talented and deep as it was last season, considering they let Stephon Gilmore and Shaq Griffin leave in free agency this year.

The uncertainty with the position group is what makes news out of Miami that star cornerback Jalen Ramsey is likely to get traded this summer so intriguing. Rumors have been swirling for weeks, but defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver spoke to reporters on Wednesday and made it clear that the Dolphins are moving forward without their All-Pro cornerback.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ramsey,” Weaver said. “He played very good ball for us, but relationships are hard, right? He’s chosen to go other ways and I respect and I wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
