A guy on YT did a video on comparing Christian Ponder and JJ McCarthy at similar points in their careers.
Ponder 56.3% 1423 yds 9 TD's 8 INTs
JJ 54.1% 929 yds 6 TDs 10 INTs
Also the 34 qbr rating vs GB.

The laugher is he said just throwing the ball in the dirt on each play will get you a 39 qbr. Still higher.
Watched another video where the guy is going through each passing play vs GB and gives neg, med, pos ratings for each play. Turned out he gave JJ more positive plays based on pass protection and All 22 etc. I replied something like
yeah but we only scored 6 points.
Edit: one more thing in the video above is he said the Vikes have the highest salary in the league this year, so not wanting to pay Darnold is a mystery to me.
