What do you think, who has a better year 1 as QB1?
 

Yards JJ
TD’s JJ
Comp % JJ
Less Ints DL
Rating DL
Record DL

Winning is the tie breaker so I’ll take DL
 

What an interesting question. JJ will have way more weapons and play in a much more aggressive, creative scheme, so I'd lean his way.

I honestly have no idea what to expect from Lindsey. I think he'll be quite solid, and the hype train of the past 7 - 10 days has me excited, but I've been watching Gopher FB long enough to know better than to jump onboard lol.
 

I think JJ will probably have a better season relative to the level of competition.
 

Lindsey because I'm biased also I want Max to take over the starting spot. Vikes fans are weirdly defensive of JJ, obviously I want my team to succeed but we all watched him at Michigan the last few years.
 


It’s easily McCarthy, but that has more to do with the exceptional infrastructure around him than it does with the players themselves.
 

Sort of an unfair question, Drake has nowhere near the talent JJ has at his disposal.
 

That was hard but had to go with JJ as there are more questions surrounding the Gophers O than the Vikings O, but a tough call.
 

Lindsey ends up being a stud, JJ ends up being a dud, and by mid-2026 Vikings fans are calling to see Max Brosmer start games.
 




Interesting question. I would give nod to JJ because of the other JJ and additional weapons he has to work with in a very QB friendly pass first system.
