Chris Long has suggested that the Minnesota Vikings’ poor quarterback options in recent years mean that Justin Jefferson has been wasting his career.
The Vikings are 6-2 for the season and their defence has largely carried them to that positive record as their offence has been pretty poor.

Carson Wentz has struggled when selected and even when Kyler Murray starts, Minnesota don’t look that impressive going forward.
Now, speaking on ‘Green Light with Chris Long’, Long has suggested that Jefferson is ‘wasting his career’ due to the lack of quality quarterback options the Vikings have had. He suggested that of eight recent QBs they have used, most of them have been poor and in turn, Justin ‘hasn’t gotten the ball with 17 quarterback changes’.
Long explained: “Justin Jefferson, who, to me, is one of the most likeable, respectable superstars in the NFL, and especially even-keeled for a skilled guy. You know, guys who lose their minds when they don’t get the ball.
“This guy hasn’t gotten the ball with 17 quarterback changes. I mean, with Darnold, there was that one year, but that was the stat: 17 quarterback changes since Kirk Cousins left. That’s eight different quarterbacks, by my count. And most of them have been dog water, and he’s wasting his career.”

Cousins last played for the Vikings in 2023, managing 2,331 passing yards in eight games that season.
