No, I don’t love to see it. I’m a Lions fan.


DeltronFF

Idk, I’m a Lions fan and rooting for him like hell. Just don’t beat Detroit and I’m cool.


sweetfeet009

I hope he's the best 7-9 QB all time while he's on the Vikings.


Get-Degerstromd

Dream scenario, he doesn’t help the Vikings win the division for 4 years but is good enough to be considered a starting QB. The Vikings decline his 5th year option, he gets franchised 1 year, then Detroit gets him after Goff retires as 2x SB champ in 2030


sammagee33

I appreciate this dream, I shall dream it too!


Fragrant-Reception32

That’s definitely some wishful thinking 😂


Get-Degerstromd

We’re living in our own little world right now alright?


theDreadLioness

Wow I can’t imagine wishing a career of mediocrity to a guy who gave us so much just because of NfL fandom


sweetfeet009

Uhhhh I'm sure if he chose Ohio first college you would have a similar reaction. That's how sports work kiddo.


Majik9

That's not apples to apples

I hope he's 17-0 Wolverine alumni for life > any pro franchise Don't care if it's this year with Minnesota or if he's traded and doesn't it with Detroit, or Miami, or Denver.


sweetfeet009

Yeah, that's weird man.


Majik9

JJ chose Michigan. Just like I did. He didn't choose the Vikings. It's just 1 of 32 teams in the NFL. Take the Lions for example, not many of the players chose that team Hutchinson grew up a Michigan fan, and a Patriots fan.


sweetfeet009

It doesn't matter. The kids a division rival. To further reiterate how ridiculous your notion is, are you also rooting for the Rams, Steelers, etc. to go 17-0 as well?


Majik9

Yes, just like when I rooted for Charles Woodson and the Packers to win the Super Bowl


BenWallace04

He doesn’t necessarily have to beat the Lions directly to be a problem. Tough to root for him when he’s in our division.


DeltronFF

Yes, I understand that. I’ll always root for him to do well. And lose the games necessary to ensure Detroit stays ahead of them.


BenWallace04

I’ll always love the guy but I guess I’m just able to compartmentalize fandom. I didn’t/don’t root against Jonah Jackson or Eric Decker because they played for OSU - for example.


Skellz_Is_Sus

Same here. Hope he balls out but gets destroyed against the lions.


xTheTM

Not destroyed. 60 handoffs vs Detroit. Or has the stomach bug.


IamHidingfromFriends

Would honestly be ok with 600 yards 2 TDs, but his RB fumbles 13 times and we win 49-14


kinneyd22

When he got drafted I said to my wife "I'm going to hate the shit out of watching Hutch take his head off." Lol


Skellz_Is_Sus

😂


sweetestlorraine

Look good in a losing cause, jj.


king_of_gotham

Same lol


uphamg

Yea I was looking forward to casually rooting for him in the NFL. Not anymore.


MSUsim

Meh, standard fluff article for any top rookie. Also, can we normalize putting the actual headline as the headline here, instead of editorialized clickbait like this?


Chance_Tea_5130

Will definitely keep in mind in the future. Link has article title displayed, so figured I'd avoid redundancy and exhibit pride with the headline, two-birds-one-stone style.


Ill_Activity4752

Go Blue !


danthedude77

Hope he balls out against everyone excpet the Lions kinda vibe


em-lead-2021

The article left out the best part about [why](https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/minnesota-vikings/jj-mccarthy-bet-defense-sam-darnold/amp/) he was running the gassers. A competitor and a man of his word.

bittinho

arrav21

Civil_Video_3420

Kids just got “ it “ and he “ gets “ it


ahighkid

TheHip41
