Stephen A. Smith starts a new panic for Vikings fans to consider

The Minnesota Vikings do not have the best quarterback situation going on right now. The team may have swung and missed on their franchise quarterback in J.J. McCarthy, and by veteran backup Carson Wentz is done for the year. It also seems the team may not know what is going on at this point with their own quarterbacks.

As a result, All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson has become more and more disgusted with what is going on with the offense. In Week 13, he was seen sitting on the sideline alone with a towel on his head, and after the game he refused to speak to the media.

All that happened after ESPN's Stephen A. Smith discussed the idea of the team trading him. He spoke on First Take and shared his thoughts, saying, "I wouldn't blame Justin Jefferson if he has to be traded. I'm disgusted with the Minnesota Vikings. And I've been very, very reluctant to say that."

Stephen A. Smith went on to explain why he is so frustrated, as many Vikings fans have to be by the situation created by the team.

"Sam Darnold was a free agent. . .He went from a one-year, $10 million deal to a three-year $100 million deal. We understand that there's reluctance on the part of any NFL team to make that kind of investment, because that's money with a hard cap system, that you could utilize and allocate elsewhere. I got that. But here's my problem. This is Justin Jefferson, y'all. . .All I'm saying is that that's the level of greatness we're talking about. What you don't do with somebody like that is take away their damn quarterback."

Stephen A. Smith may be known for his wild takes and explosive attitudes, but he may have hit the nail on the head here.
