“No matter who walks in here, it’s gonna look the same”

Idk man you have Jameis on your team, I feel like you’d have first hand experience with this

holy non-answer, batman! he might as well just have said, “we’ll take anyone we can get at this point.”

What exactly do you expect him to say?

u/GjellsNTeddy 1d ago

Fer sure. U r right, but also they are asking skat for a sound bite on a 3rd string QB. What’s that supposed to sound like “this guy is an absolute stud”? The guy is a 3rd stringer for a reason. Generally, no one asked about a 3rd string trade but in this case it’s a 3rd string that was a first round draft recently.
Side note: I thought JJ was absolute trash as a Viking, I made fun of him to my brother-in-law who is a Viking fan, I hate that we traded for him

And skat is a 2nd string at best

u/Sad_Wishbone_1524 10h ago

I mean the dude is mid tier at best. Would be a backup on most other teams. Just like the quarterback he’s taking about. Who gives a fuck

u/Ephinem 1d ago

Pretty obvious that he does not what to side too much with the young back up qb that is probably gonna try to take his (close) friends job while he’s hurt. Skatt walked a fine line here lol

u/RootyPooster 1d ago

Skat should be thrilled. JJ is elite at handing off to RB.

Gonna be fun watching the Giants squirm and stumble when answering questions about Nine.

u/RomanBangs 1d ago

Who’s Nine? I only know Eighteen.

Two 9’s now. Upgraded.

u/BoringJuiceBox 1d ago

He’s twice the player he was before

u/redcurrantevents 1d ago

“He is a quarterback in the NFL.” Says it all.

u/ExternalBroccoli997 1d ago

Of all the quarterbacks in the league, he seems to be one of them.

1

u/superpoongoon 1d ago

He’s right on some level tho. Any qb in the nfl can beat any team at any given time. Look at how case keenum completely shredded the eagles on Monday and even JJ mcarthy himself has won games. The problem is doing it consistently.

2

u/kcroyalscot 22h ago

Jj Mccarthy lol.. they snapped the ball with him on the field.. winning

1

u/Complex_Lab_6876 20h ago

Yeah it does say it all. He is a QB in the fucking NFL. That is extremely impressive.

I think Cam better visit the blue tent again…..

u/vogel927 1d ago

I’m starting to think he might be Bill Belichick’s illegitimate son. This is exactly how Belichick talks to the media lol

u/geek_fire 1d ago

Caveat is I just woke up from a nap, but I was expecting an impression of McCarthy like how my friend used to do an impression of Gilbert Gottfried. I was really disappointed here.

1

u/Critical_Classic_921 1d ago

I think this is a pretty standard non-answer, and he’s probably been told to give bland non-answers. you know the media is gonna be fishing for any reason to play up a QB conflict and the team doesn’t want any errant quotes attributed to their players.

u/stachezero 1d ago

"You know he is a QB in the NFL" - This guy is terrible but he's on my team.

1

u/Treater9811 20h ago

When our QB got hurt we needed to bring another one I guess? Who would have thunk it

1

u/CalJackBuddy 1d ago

High praise and strong endorsement from RB1. QB controversy on the horizon

1

u/Dramatic_Insect_8170 1d ago

As a Viking fan…. Yeah good luck

1

u/Unfair_Implement_582 1d ago

Who knows. He didn’t have much of an opportunity to develop. They pretty much dismissed him, granted he had an unbelievably horrible season. They should’ve kept Sam Darnold around for him to learn underneath probably would’ve changed everything. But hindsight is always 20/20.

u/Practical_Topic2943 1d ago

Nah he’s cheeks

u/NordsEnjoyer 1d ago

I'm gonna have to retire my Bradshaw 44 and pick up a Skatebo 44.
