Chris says, what are your thoughts on how KOC has talked about McCarthy?

It feels different than in the past.

In the past, he was way more excited and confident.

Now, not so much.

Yeah, so last week when I brought this up, it's a great question, Chris.

When I brought this up last week, it was not received well, but I felt the same way with the way that the questions have been answered by Kevin O'Connell since J.J. McCarthy got hurt.

And since the game against Atlanta, they had a very different tone.

And the quote that I have to keep going back to is when he was asked if McCarthy is QB1,

when he gets healthy.

And he said something about, luckily, I don't have to answer that question right now.

And it was like, really?

Because after joint practices, you couldn't wipe the smile off of Kevin O'Connell's face.

He was so happy with J.J. McCarthy.

And then you go to the locker room following the game against Chicago.

And yeah, it was as ugly as it was in the first half, but they play four quarters for a reason.

And he was, that wasn't fake.

That happened. He was was clutch he made great

throws he ran you know i thought the jt o sullivan breakdown told a pretty clear story about that

first game where it was a lot of mistakes it wasn't just mccarthy and it was against

atlanta as well but the tone has definitely been a little bit different.

The tone has not screamed at any point.

Guys, I cannot wait to get our starting quarterback back.
