JJ McCarthy’s cringeworthy alter ego is doing irreparable damage to White Boy PR

Vikings quarterback and total dork JJ McCarthy is making headlines, not for his play, but for his tremendously cringe alter ego known as “Nine.” Intensity isn’t a bad thing when it comes to playing QB in the NFL, but it is so clearly forced that it’s impossible to take it seriously.

JJ McCarthy is a fake demon, and everyone but Vikings fans can see right through the facade:

#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell on JJ McCarthy’s intensity:

“It never catches me off guard. I just know to give him the football, deliver the message that I'd like to deliver, and then get the hell out of the way, for my own personal safety in that moment.”

#Vikings QB JJ McCarthy says he flips a switch on game day, and calls it “nine.”

“Nine comes out and I gotta understand he can’t be at his peak performance throughout three and a half hours. So, how do I find little ways on the sideline to get back to my breath, get back to my… pic.twitter.com/uOmcgUm8hn

Needless to say, this has done serious damage to White Boy PR. We’ve been in a renaissance since Chet Hanks coined White Boy Summer. Now, this could be the end of an era.

This guy makes Russell Wilson look like a very cool, normal person. The Dangerwich pales in comparison to Nine when it comes to cornball status. I genuinely do not know if the White Boy brand can recover from this one.

I’m all for a quirked-up white boy with a little bit of swag busting it down, but this fake demon shit has to stop, and it has to stop now.

Of course, Vikings fans are eating this stuff up without a second thought. This is what happens when your franchise falls from grace immediately after being pretty good over and over again.

This type of embarrassment could never happen in Philadelphia. Number one, the city just needs a Black quarterback. It’s a fact of life at this point. Carson Wentz and Nick Foles were just exceptions that prove the rule.

The Minshew era brought some White Boy swag into the mix, but that’s just who he genuinely is. Authenticity is key in this town. If we had some cracker in the Eagles locker room acting like this while putting up dogshit numbers, the city would turn on him in an instant. And I’d be the first to lead that charge.

Vikings fans, however, are conditioned losers. They are quite literally dying to have a franchise QB to get behind. And after their front office let both Sam Darnold and former ambassador to Israel Daniel Jones walk, JJ McCarthy is their only hope.

It’s really quite sad when you think about it.

The worst part of it all, though, is that JJ McCarthy really hasn’t been good at all. He’s played three games, and the coaching staff was so afraid to play him that they let Carson Wentz die on the field.

He’s acting like he’s on demon time after throwing for 143 yards with 2 TDs and a pick. Not exactly setting the world on fire.

Sure, Jalen Hurts has put that stat line up a few times, but he’s a stoic king speaking in fortune cookie speak. Very different from acting like you’ve been possessed by Weapon X like Brian Dawkins.

So, as a message to JJ McCarthy: you don’t have to do this, buddy. Just go ball out and have fun with it. If you get fired up, get fired up. Just stop making the White Boy community look bad. We do that plenty on our own already.
