After an uninspiring 2025 NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings decided to bring in some help for JJ McCarthy. The young quarterback played 10 games, as he dealt with injuries and inconsistency.

McCarthy went 140 of 243 for 1,632 yards and 11 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. The front office decided to add Kyler Murray to the roster, which many thought marked the end of McCarthy’s tenure in Minnesota. On Tuesday, the veteran said he would help McCarthy however he could.

“Obviously I know he’s a younger guy, so any way I can help him, obviously I’ll give him any knowledge that he needs,” Murray told reporters. “We’re both competitors, and I know we both want what’s best for the team.”

On the other hand, McCarthy had a very different response when asked about their relationship.

“It’s just like two guys in a classroom,” McCarthy said. “He sits on one side, I sit on the other side, and it’s the coach’s responsibility to teach us and coach us.”

Many fans took issue with McCarthy’s comments, calling him “salty” and mocking him for losing the starting role in Kevin O’Connell’s offense.

“That’s the difference between a guy who’s been there and one who is realizing he’s not the guy,” one fan said.

“This means Kyler Murray has been kicking his a–,” another fan said.

“JJ knows he lost the job. Of course he’s salty,” a third fan said.

“McCarthy such a loser. I knew that meditation s–t was performative,” a fourth fan wrote.

“If you sat and wrote up the worst possible responses to the question I am not sure it would beat what 9 said,” a fifth fan commented.

Murray, a former No. 1 pick, looks like the clear favorite to start next season. McCarthy could be on the move if he doesn’t improve.
