Just your average Vikings fan, hoping to win a Super Bowl before I die.



Former Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is signing a one-year deal with the Vikings, per sources. Murray now will become part of a QB room that includes former No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy. With Murray already owed $36.8 million from Arizona, his one-year contract with the Vikings will be for the veteran league minimum.




@Colynminor Open invitation, would be an honor! @rodgers_isaiah



It feels like Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings is a real possibility, so let's talk about it. TLDR: Kyler is a complicated player. Does the good outweigh the bad? THE GOOD: Low commitment -- likely a 1-year, $1.3 million contract. If it doesn't work out, whatever. It generally feels like Cardinals provided subpar infrastructure, and there's a major possibility Kyler's best seasons are still ahead of him -- in the right situation. Kyler is incredibly athletic + mobile. Can keep plays alive with his legs. Doesn’t throw a lot of INTs. Also has one of lowest Turnover Worthy Play Rates of any QB the last several years. Considering the Vikings lead the NFL in turnovers last season, this is key. Doesn’t take a lot of sacks. Pretty accurate within 15 yards of LOS. Regularly flirting w/ 70% completions overall + 77% on target rate (top 10-15 in NFL). THE BAD: Size + durability -- one of shortest QBs in recent NFL history + track record of missing games. Leadership + personality vibes can be a little off. Really struggles against pressure -- last 2 seasons = outside the top 30 in passer rating when pressured. Out of 64 qualified QBs since 2022 -- just 24th in EPA / play (tied w/ Kirk Cousins … just behind Derek Carr + Bo Nix). Short pass merchant, even with most of his games played indoors -- 60th (!!) in Average Depth of Target (since 2022) + between 60-65% of passes are within 9 yards of the LOS (since 2022). On passes thrown 10+ yards downfield (s/o @SharpFootball) since 2022 -- dead last in EPA/throw, 41st out of 43 in Yards Per Attempt, 36th out of 43 in comp% Only 3 career games played in temps below 40 degrees (have fun in Chicago + Green Bay).


i’m not giving up on this after 10 games
