"I don't think anybody in that building has given up on him." @BenGoessling on #Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy earlier today on @KFAN1003


#Vikings QB JJ McCarthy has spent a significant amount of time during the offseason in California working with one of the premier private quarterback developers John Beck, @alec_lewis writes via @TheAthletic. They have been dialed in on mechanical consistencies and applying more touch. “The Vikings are optimistic that McCarthy will show up committed to proving he’s made a major leap.”







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.










Kyler Murray is one of the most fascinating possible Vikings quarterback options. Size, injuries, and scheme fit are questions, but he's also immensely talented. Story: si.com/nfl/vikings/on…
