@RustleWilson @DMRussini I'm good.
Congrats on JJ McCarthy and the Aurora Season Tickets though!

The NFL informed its teams about when they could expect to see replacement officials visiting facilities if a deal is not reached by next month, when the current CBA with the NFL Referees Association expires:

@GymLeaderDev Bron ain’t the heat’s best player so it was Wade v Joel, and Embiid peaked higher

@johnalabban4629 @AnthonyLaPanta Minnesota sells out pretty much every game no matter what so this comment is... Not informed lol

I've been a Panthers fan since 1993, spare us your comments. Game was on a Thursday night and no playoffs on the line at this point. When Minnesota has nothing on the line, let me know if your building is filled.
Fans have to shell out that money to make games, hard to ask them to keep filling an arena with the season basically over in a few weeks.
Come next season when the team is healthy and back to Stanley Cup form, the barn will be packed.

Good to see that all of those “diehard life long Panther fans” that were seen in public for the first time ever during the Stanley Cup Finals have gone back into hiding.

I want to be clear that when I tweet I understand everything I say is my opinion.
Unless stated otherwise with a source that’s how I view everyone’s tweets.
I believe in my opinions and state my case. I’m not going to say, “in my opinion” every time I tweet.

@SwitzerRick @DailyNorseman I mean clearly not if he thinks McCarthy is going to start over Murray. Feel free to tag this and come back to tell me I'm right when Murray starts.
English
@RustleWilson @DailyNorseman he knows a hell of alot more than you obviously

Well, what does that guy know, anyway. . .

Jalen Nailor said he’s rocking with JJ McCarthy to come out on top over Kyler Murray to be the #Vikings QB 1 in September. Nailor says McCarthy just needs more in game reps to showcase his skills: “It’s going to bring the best out of both of them.” 🎥: @UpAndAdamsShow

@nacholeber @allthingsmn Walk me through why, Ben.
English
@allthingsmn Probably not to start the season. But “as of right now” he should be
English
I believe there will be a true QB competition. So as of right now I would guess the depth chart would be:
Wentz
Murray
McCarthy
May the best man win

Veteran QB Carson Wentz is re-signing with the Vikings, sources tell The Insiders. So Minnesota’s QB room now features three former top-10 picks: Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy and Wentz, who played well last season before a shoulder injury.
English
The Vikings went 9-8 last season and probably make the playoffs if Carson Wentz doesn't get hurt, forcing undrafted rookie Max Brosmer into action. This time, they have Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy and Wentz in one of the NFL's most fascinating QB rooms.

@DailyNorseman But in this case JJ was bad, Chris

"Organizations fail young quarterbacks before young quarterbacks fail organizations."
Hey. . .it's not my quote.
English
Perhaps a day will come when the Minnesota Vikings won't have to accept another team's rejects at the quarterback position.
Probably not in my lifetime. Most likely not in yours, either.
But someday. Maybe.

@SeeRadd jones might even be more expensive that murray via trade, believe it or not
and the Cardinals may actively seek to get rid of murray; i don't know that the 49ers are in a rush to offload jones
English
If we assume these two things:
a) The Vikings won't drop Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O'Connell because their extensions haven't even kicked in yet
b) J.J. McCarthy is not the long-term QB1
... the only escape hatch, to me, would be acquiring Kyler Murray in the offseason. 🤷♂️

English
@SteelersNetwork @TomPelissero He's telling the vikings he wants a multi year deal not a 1 off
English
Should the Vikings choose to bring in Kyler Murray (I hope they do), by no means does that mean they’re giving up on JJ McCarthy.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
The Arizona Cardinals officially have released QB Kyler Murray. With Murray now free, the Minnesota Vikings are considered the overwhelming favorite to sign him. In the words of one source: “I’d be shocked if he’s not a Viking.”
English
@DailyNorseman Pretty revisionist, Chris. Everyone I know besides me hated Teddy pol
English
Don't think that's true?
The one season where Bridgewater "led" the Vikings to the playoffs, he threw 14 touchdown passes in 17 games, including the playoffs.
He had multiple touchdown passes in two games: one game with four and one game with two.
He had seven games, including the playoff game, with zero touchdown passes. (The Vikings went 4-3 in those games.)
But man. . .this fan base would have absolutely thrown themselves on a grenade for Teddy Bridgewater if they had been asked to.
You think this fan base would accept 14 TD passes in 17 games from J.J. McCarthy? I sincerely doubt it.
English
Because there's a significant portion of this fan base who has decided, after 10 games, that J.J. McCarthy just isn't "the guy."
A lot of them are the same people who were convinced that Teddy Bridgewater was "the guy" before he ever took an NFL snap and held onto the belief that he was "the guy" absent any sort of credible evidence of that conclusion, whether it was pre-injury or post-injury.
For a lot of this fan base, it isn't about potential or whether you've shown any sort of ability. It's whether or not they like you. People liked Teddy and were willing to make whatever excuse they could for him. People don't like J.J. and want to cast him off to the Spartan hillside already.
It really is kind of that simple.

I gotta say this — and some might not like it. I don’t see the overwhelming infatuation on Vikings Twitter with Kyler Murray. It bothers me because just over a year ago, a lot of people were big on drafting a young quarterback and letting him develop into the franchise QB. Now suddenly the focus has shifted to a quarterback who hasn’t had much team success in seven seasons in the NFL and has dealt with frequent injuries. I just don’t get it. Maybe some people are subconsciously hoping for another Sam Darnold-type situation, but I really don’t think Kyler automatically puts the Vikings in Super Bowl contention. And here’s the real question: does bringing him in stunt the potential growth of J.J. McCarthy? Or are the Vikings just repeating the same cycle they’ve followed for the past 20+ years — bringing in veteran stopgap quarterbacks who might pop for a season, but ultimately lead to no real postseason success? I’m just asking the question. Some people will call me a hater or whatever — I really don’t care. But what happens if the Vikings do sign Kyler Murray and things don’t go as planned? What if he struggles or gets injured again? Are we going to jump right back on Twitter demanding McCarthy start? At some point we have to stop jumping from quarterback to quarterback. Development on the roster matters, and that’s one of the main reasons this franchise hasn’t reached a Super Bowl.

How does one, as a grown adult, feel the need to lie about “reports” they’re getting in the name of seeking attention on a social media app? 😂😂😂

@RustleWilson hey man i am saving that for kyler and/or linderbaum. lol

Brev nailed it.

Another #Vikings target on my radar: Steelers CB James Pierre Became starting corner across from JPJ in Pittsburgh in Week 10 and from there: 🏈 46.4% completion allowed when targeted (9th best among corners facing 20 targets) 🏈 -5.7 receptions over expected (2nd best) 🏈 Made play on the ball 25% of targets (7th best) Additionally, overall in 2025, he had (among qualifying corners): 🏈 88.9 PFF coverage grade (1st) 🏈 29% forced incompletion percentage (1st) 🏈 9 PBUs (T-7th, but much lower snap count than everyone in front of him) 🏈 57.2 passing rating allowed (5th) 🏈 0 penalties (T-1st) 🏈 45.7% overall completion allowed (3rd) If he starts earlier, his numbers rival NE’s Christian Gonzales. He also played under Brian Flores in Pittsburgh in 2022. Pounding the table for this CB depth, which Minnesota desperately needs. #SKOL
