Justin Jefferson makes it clear that he's committed to JJ McCarthy as the team's quarterback, regardless of his recent struggles. The star wide receiver expressed confidence in McCarthy, saying "That person that’s throwing that ball needs to throw that ball, and lead us to into that big dance at the end of the season." Jefferson's focus is on winning a Super Bowl, not on criticizing his quarterback.
Jefferson's comments come as the Vikings face uncertainty over their quarterback situation. The team has been criticized for McCarthy's performance this season, which saw him play in just 10 games due to injuries and struggle with accuracy. Despite this, Jefferson remains supportive of his quarterback, saying "For me, it’s to get him to where we need to go; it starts off right now in offseason and getting better now."
The Vikings have a deep depth chart at quarterback, with Max Brosmer, John Wolford, and Brett Rypien all vying for the starting role. However, Jefferson's endorsement of McCarthy suggests that he may be the preferred choice. The team has also faced rumors that head coach Kevin O'Connell wanted to move on from McCarthy in favor of Sam Darnold or Aaron Rodgers.
It remains to be seen how the Vikings will navigate their quarterback situation this offseason. One thing is clear, however: Justin Jefferson is committed to winning a Super Bowl and will support his quarterback, regardless of who that may be.
