The time and commitment an NFL QB gives is no different than how a filmmaker or musician works. Many musical artists will spend weeks on end just living in a studio, then spend a couple months "off" and rehearsing. Then they go on tour for 2 to 3 months straight, followed by a few months off. Filmmakers and actors will spend months to prepare for a project, 3 to 6 months shooting a project, then another 2 months in post production or marketing. Then they take 6 months to a year off. I can tell you from watching McCarthy for years at Michigan and before - he's going to eat, sleep, breath, inject football into his veins during those work periods and still work on personal growth during his "off" time. He's highly intelligent and highly motivated. The contract thing is totally his agent sticking up for him as a 1st round QB. He's not concerned about money like that.
My home town of Winona can be a pretty little town to visit that or if you like La Crosse La Crescent should have been taken right across the border. Snake Draft Craft Beers in the future or Minnesota Breweries would be cool...
Kirk was a great QB the defense was atrocious. When you throw for more than 4000 yrs and score more than 21+ points a game at some point you got to be like can the defense stop them scoring more points
Good afternoon, guys. Love the show. I'm not sure if you have already or not but I'd love to see judd rank the top positions for the vikings from all time. As a example I personality would have trouble ranking any position group ahead of WRs. Thanks and continue the great work
Very bad answer you mean. Mullens threw for a record number of yards with Shanahan. Dobbs was successful when he started running and slowed down when he executed KOC's playbook. KOC's QB "developer" resume includes: Manziel, Haskins, Goff (who was so bad in 2020 that they traded them away). He's 0 for 3 on developing QBs so far
Dude you're kidding... Kirk is a tangible reference... Dobbs was street fodder, and Manziel was a partying druggie... and Goff will tell you he actually shined in Detroit partly because what he learned from KOC...compare real QBs... this stint will tell the tell
@@hugeboi3669 Regarding Dobbs I agree with you - partially. He seemed to drown in the moment when he had to execute the playbook - but I still haven't forgotten how happy KOC was in the games before when Dobbs played his own chaotic thing. So no, I don't think he forced him too much. What I think though is: never forget your opponents! The coaches of the other teams did as well watch those games, how Dobbs plays and figured out how to stop him, and I would bet some coins that they were able to analyze the situation way better than me. Regarding the rest, I think KOC made Cousins much better, but anyways, Darnold will show us finally what KOC can really do. And Atlanta what Kirk can do with them... Cheers man!
My grandma lived just north of brainerd on the way do I think the next town is merryfield and they lived on a little lake that did not have public access but there was one spot you could get a boat in if you talk to the guy that live there if you didn't mind cuz we normally always took our boat out on the lake
I live in Stillwater, so maybe it’s because St Paul is closer to me than Minneapolis, but I was surprised that Phil thinks St Paul is harder to learn and navigate than Minneapolis. I have St Paul down like the back of my hand but Minneapolis is way harder to memorize all the ins and outs of
Whatever it is, whether it’s a TikTok or whether it’s through the feedback Friday, we need to see all the memorabilia one day and the room that Jud is in because it looks like there’s a ton of stuff behind him and it looks like we’re only scratching the surface
Can you guys do a snake draft on current NFL players for offense? And we the people will vote to see who has the better team. Maybe another show you guys can do defense.
Do a literal snake draft: snakes you’d most want to see in wild (safely) or would never want to see ever. Anaconda, king cobra and black mamba are mine.
Sorry but I'm never going to feel bad for players who get paid millions to play a game, and only work about six months out of the year if they don't get any time off during the season. Fans have to fork out hundreds per game to go watch them play. Most of whom will never see that kind of money in their lifetimes. Fans deserve players to be all in.
Again people need to consider the human condition. Nobody in the planet is motivated by the abstract. So thinking that your player is going to play with best so that some team, somewhere might, sign into a contract of some length, for some amount of money with some guarantees. It's stupidity what you do is you sign into a three-year contract low base salary but lots of potential bonus money if he's playing well. Even if he's playing reasonable still alone to achieve that overall 18 to 20 million deal like like the Lions dip. It's really stupid to have somebody in a 1-year contract and then you have nothing. I doubt, Sam darnold would have refused to contract that could have paid him $10 million the first year up to 20 million the second year and up to 25 or 30 million or third year. And make some of the bonuses very achievable and some are stretch so they does his absolute best!
Let’s be honest you need clicks..that is why you will be riding Kirk’s jock for clicks again today. Btw - Kirk will be comparing pretty well to JJ who will spend this season working on footwork.
Your over analysis of Kirk taking Tues off is beyond rediculous. Guaranteed Kirk puts in 80 hours a week despite taking Tues off..rehabbing, listening to plays in the car in addition to everything else..admittedly there are things to criticize about Kirk, but his dedication? Really? He is the poster child for overachiever. If your coverage of Kirk was even somewhat fair it would be one thing…it’s not that you cover him, it’s the frequency and it’s all 100% negative clickbait. Btw - I don’t care how much Kirk is paid, he’ll never get these years back with his young kids. You rip Kirk for Tues but funny how you guys were totally cool Gobert taking a playoff game off for the birth of his child. Rudy’s kid will never have any memory of him being there and rest assured his wife gets the best medical attention money can buy. Move on from Kirk. It’s beyond rediculous. You were mostly wrong about him all along..take the L and move on. 🤡 Btw - you guys talk as though this rookie qb is a sure thing at qb. Makes me wonder if you even watch football..the reality is darnold has as good, maybe a better chance of being the long term starter..that is the reality. He’s only 26, 3rd overall pick. Jj will spend 2024 working on his footwork.
Kirk was 17-8 with KoC as coach..It was a good fit for both which is why the Vikings made a an unforced error creating a crisis at the games most important position. Pump the breaks on KoC, there are red flags..running game, screen game, defense in year 1 was not professional…should have dismissed Donatell mid season, especially considering they had a coach on staff that was interviewed to be the next coordinator. I need to see him correct these red flags and see how he does without cousins before I extend.
Enough with with this Tuesday OFF stuff. These athletes are well paid yes, but they are paid for what they are worth and human body can only take much specially with physical sport. Not everyone can work everyday like Judd. Just stop it already because it’s ridiculous
Hush. They are paid millions of dollars to play and they prolly get more time off during the year than you do. All we ask for is a little dedication during the season and practice.
If the NFL season went as long as the other sport seasons, then it would be perfectly okay for a QB to spend a day with their family. All people are asking is that a QB does their job for the average of 5 months that they work each each year, and get millions of dollars for. Work-life balance is perfectly okay when you work for more than 5 months per year.
For many evangelical Christians the practice of honoring God by taking a Sabbath day is not uncommon. There is a faith element that one believes that 6 days with God's blessings can be more productive than 7 days without God's blessing.
If you really want to split THAT hair, such a person shouldn’t play pro football at all. Take the Sabbath off every week, and Tuesday isn’t the Sabbath.
The very best at whatever high end occupation never have work-life balance. Thats why they are the best. Kirk was getting paid like one of the best. So we expect 100 percent devotion to the job. That is all.
Your football life is so short. U give your all Because there is no guarantee for a tomorrow. Cousins will never be a winner in the sport of football. Yes he’s probably a great husband and human being for that matter. But dude needs to give his all for the money that was paid to him to play a game. You take Tuesday off when you are retired. If people don’t see or understand that then they don’t know what it is to sacrifice to make a living
Phil wins this draft easily imo, making up for his “ahi tuna crisps” debacle. Dex I think is a fairly sound second, but his unreasonable hate for Duluth needs to be studied 😂
It's controversial because the guy has a family day and y'all rip on him. Dude kills it week in and week out. So just stop get over it he's not on the team anymore
Did he kill it week in and week out? They led in 3 and outs in multiple seasons with him. A lot of players have families. They are paid millions and they have an offseason. The starting, especially fully guaranteed vet, QB should be working the game plan with the coaches.
Kirk taking a day off is just one small example of a much bigger part of who he is. I like him as a person, but winning football games is not his #1 priority in life. And that is OK. He seems like an awesome human being. Just not a guy that I think you pay $45M+ per year and can ever expect to win a Super Bowl with. That’s just not who he is
You don’t need to live football every day. You just don’t. If that’s what you want good on you. I don’t need that. I don’t care if they’re making billions. If that put in the work and still take some time for themselves I’m good. Period.
As a CPA, JJ also probably wants it up front to lock in the current tax rates, both on income, social security and Medicare. Hard to what happen after the election, but a better chance rates go up, possibly the same in MN.
To think these athletes don't know how to throw a baseball is hard to believe i can throw 40 yards pitch 60+mph shoot half court shots and im not the best like how are you that good at something and suck so bad ar something similar
If you thought Minneapolis or St. Paul were good picks, you probably thought Jamarcus Russell was too. Hey, while I have you here, think I could interest you in a Ryan Leaf?
Love the cities draft..I’ll go with Declan’s as a St. Paul native , love Stillwater and also love Duluth . Another forgotten city Winona

They should do 5 rounds in stead of 3. Could've easily had Red Wing, Winona, Lake City, Taylor's Falls, and Glenwood on the list
Glenwood? Is there more than one in MN, because the one in West Central MN isn't that great.

Why are there rules? These players are paid professional athletes. not college kids
Wow shout out to whalan. My aunt owns aroma pie shop ❤
Shoulda done a different snake draft :(
Not everyone be living in MN 😫

100 percent agreed.
Judd said, "IM WITH THE KIDS, IM POPPIN IT" 😂😂😂. ⏸️
I think something similar but he threw a horrible pitch so people couldn't see his arm talent
I hope Kirk pays mortgage payments to all the space he takes up in Mackey's head.
