We’ve got the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week, and man. . .a couple of weeks and a couple of wins appear to have made a world of difference among our readers.
Our first question for this week, as it is every week, is whether or not you feel the Minnesota Vikings are moving in the right direction. And, just a couple of weeks after hitting rock bottom, the needle is definitely moving in the other direction.
Of our respondents for this week, a full two-thirds of them now feel that the Vikings are moving in the right direction. That’s the highest this number has been since Week 10 of this season, which was the week after the Vikings went into Ford Field and knocked off the Detroit Lions as a 9.5-point underdog. Of course, right after that the Vikings went on a four-game losing streak in which they, largely, looked awful, so hopefully that’s not going to happen this time around. I have a funny feeling that it will not.
Our second question for this week was asking you how much your impression of quarterback J.J. McCarthy has changed over the past couple of weeks with the way he’s performed. He’s looked awfully impressive against a couple of bad defenses over the past couple of weeks, but it’s been enough to make a positive impression on a lot of people.
Of our respondents this week, 77% of them say that their impression of McCarthy has improved at least a little bit over the past couple of weeks. A majority of our readers, 52%, say that their impression of the young quarterback has “slightly” improved, while an additional 25% say that their impression has improved significantly. Another 22% say that they still feel the same about him as they did two weeks ago, while 1% of our readers. . .somehow. . .have found a way to feel worse about McCarthy now than they did two weeks ago. I’m really not sure how that can be the case, but hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Those are the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week, ladies and gentlemen. As always, we thank all of you who participated in this week’s festivities, and we’ll have another poll for you at some point this week, though there’s going to be a bit of a quick turnaround with the purple playing on Christmas Day.
