Minnesota Vikings predictions: Jordan Addison, Blake Brandel, and more

Purple Daily is daily Vikings entertainment. I just want the Vikings to win a Super Bowl before we die. I will ride with this group. Seriously, man. Please. And away we go. All right, gentlemen. It’s Wednesday, which means we get to show the world how wrong we are on a regular basis. Write that down. Here we got AJ making predictions again in place of uh sort of like part-time paternity leave. Declan, have you been handed the envelope for quarterback cesspool challenge this week or what was the what was the teamwork like behind the scenes for you guys? Exactly that. A little more teamwork. I think I I I reached out I reached out. I was like, “Hey, what are you thinking? Let me know.” And he’s like, “Here’s a couple options. I’ll let you uh I’ll I’ll let you I’ll let you decide the collaboration collaboration. I shamed him. I shamed him in the uh the group thread. That’s what I did yesterday since he took the ball out of AJ’s hands completely. And by the way, Age had a good call. So, well, yeah. So, we’re we’re tracking a new category in the quarterback cesspool challenge as of this week. It’s if AJ would have made the pick, who he wanted to take instead of Declan, what’s AJ’s record versus Declan. So stick around for that here.

If you’re new, maybe you just discovered Purple Daily at some point this season or maybe even this week. Welcome in. Literally 365 days a year of Vikings takes Vikings entertainment. Uh, and every Wednesday, we’re the only show in America that we have found over the last 10 years, this and the OG uh, Mackie and Jud edition on the Score North YouTube channel that actually puts statistics next to our predictions, showing you pretty much how wrong we are all the time. Uh, but it’s three Vikings or football related predictions from everybody on the show each week. They must be quantifiable. Those are pretty much the only rules. Uh, we keep track of completion percentage and touchdowns. A touchdown is like something that is a lot less likely to happen. And then listeners, if you want to participate, like our guy Dan is about to here shortly, you can send Declan a message through the Scor app and we’ll get you scheduled for the upcoming weeks. All right. Are you guys ready to be held accountable? It happens every week this time. Yes, it does. AJ, you you had a lot of things come off the board that we’re going to get to, so sit tight. We’ll start with Jud. You said the Vikings would hold the Browns to 90 or fewer rushing yards in that London game. Yeah, I’m I’m done with complimentary predictions about the run game. Yeah, it was like a buck 40. The run defense, I should say. Yeah, it was a lot. It was not what I was hoping for. That Judkins man, he’s pretty good. He’s hard to tackle. He’s shifty. Probably a first round talent who slipped to the second round. You said Justin Jefferson would catch a touchdown pass. against the Browns. Sorry, that should actually be No, it’s wrong. No, it’s wrong. Yep. No, wrong. There was another I’m sorry. There was another one that was great. We’ll get to He had some great catches, but yeah, he had You have 10. Is it 10 catches? He had a lot of catches. Oh. Uh, you said the Vikings will win exactly four of the first five games to start the season. That Pittsburgh loss, man. Pittsburgh loss is killing me and them, actually. Uh, and then you said JJ McCarthy’s first pass to Jordan Addison would go for 15 or more yards. It was against the Steelers. It was 22. That’s a We’re going to give you a touchdown on that. Oh, I’m sorry. God, I’m struggling. That’s McCarthy. I wish this one. I’m sorry. I wish that was the case. I feel like this season I’m averaging like one or two gaffs a week. I mean, touchdown, too. Oh my god. I got a touchdown off the board. I’m sorry. Flag of the play. Bring it back. Age. Oh, I got to pull up the database. I got to pull up the database here. We should just stop the show now. Show’s over, folks. We need now we need like another category. How many times is Phil going to screw up something in the accountability session? We’re on like a 10 week streak right now going back to training camp. Basically, how quickly how quickly do you think our YouTube viewers were or how long yelling at this? Well, it’s been up for like three minutes, right? So, no, I know Jud didn’t get that right. Jud didn’t get that right. Sports dad, my ass. So, let’s see. JJ, well, you made that a long time ago, too. JJ McCarthy’s Yeah, this is back in like the spring. I’m going in the database. I’m removing this. I’m sorry for teasing you. Sorry for messing this up. I will I will uh look at the film, correct it, and try to be better next week. Please don’t punch me. Jonathan Ganon. Okay, $100,000 $100,000. Oh, all right. Which is And we we’re doing Purple Daily NFL takes later today. I have a rant about this whole situation. I’ve just been I’ve just been sparring with people on Twitter the last 15 hours. It’s so dumb. The whole thing. We’ll get to it on Purple Daily NFL Takes. Uh bad week for me. I said Dylan Gabriel would be sacked at least four times and would throw an interception or fumble the ball. They had s they had a they actually had a pretty good strategy. Just literally get the ball out, quick stuff, run the ball, play action. They kind of tricked up their passing game. They didn’t really put him in a position to be sacked four times. Credit to them, I guess. Yep. I said the Vikings in the two European games would combine for at least three rushing touchdowns in the deep red. So inside the 10 yard line, their first one and only one, I believe, was against the Browns. Jordan Mason. Yes, I said Ryan. What’s that? Oh, I was going to say yes. I think it was three yards, right? That was a nice red zone touchdown. A nice deep red TD, though. The type we haven’t seen nearly enough in the last couple years. Said Ryan Kelly would allow fewer than 22 pressures on the season and will miss no fewer than four games or he would miss no few miss no fewer. It’s supposed this I think this might have gotten transcribed wrong that he will miss four games or fewer I believe is the was what I said here but he’s on IR for at least four. So yeah um before the bye-week Jaylen Naylor will have a 100yard game and a multi and or a multi-touchdown game. He’s flashed a little but not quite not quite to that extent. Not yet. All right, AJ, you have five things in this. So, we’re putting AJ with the listeners group here. I think at some point because you’re going to be making a lot of predictions on Wednesdays, we once we get some sample size, we might break you out into your own category and I’ll be batting like 080. Well, well, let’s we’ll start with the bad. We’ll start with the bad here and then it it ended well. You said Dylan Gabriel would commit multiple turnovers against the Vikings. Miles Garrett would record at least three sacks. Vikings didn’t give him a chance. I mean, they chipped him on almost every play. They were they were quick getting the ball out. You said Will Riker would have five or more field goals in Europe and not miss a kick. Did he have did he have five? If if the he only he only attempted three and then Wiregate happened on the third. Okay. So either way it went to Yeah. You said the Vikings defense would have two or more touchdowns while in Europe. Uh Mike said we’ll get to AJ’s correct one here in a second. Mike said Jordan Mason would rush for over a 100red receiving yards over 40 and a touchdown against the Browns. Alex said in London the Vikings would win by at least two scores and McCarthy throws at least two touchdowns. Alex also said JJ McCarthy’s first home game of the regular season. Tommy Kramer would blow the horn. The Gallah Horn. That one should have come off the board a few weeks ago. I don’t think it was not Tommy that was it was Jared Allen. Was it Jared Allen? Yep. The honor. Camden said Travis Hunter would only be a wide receiver in his first season. He’s been out there for defensive snaps. But AJ redeems himself. you predicted a Jordan Addison touchdown against the Browns. You got it right in there at the last second. That’s a touchdown for you. All right. And then Alex said, “At some point this season, Jud will comment about JJ McCarthy and Declan’s fatherhood in the same comparison.” You’ve definitely like included them anecdotally a few times. Yeah, it’s it’s a loose definition here. Oh, very complimentary. Yeah. I don’t know. We’d have to go review the tape to see if it’s fully complimentary or sincerely complimentary. I believe I was very excited about Sunny. I think I was very excited. Just as excited as Kevin Oonnell is about JJ missing Thursday. Brought that up in the last week or is he I uh Yeah, he brought it up last week. I I got to note that he actually brought up the missed Thursday practice again. He every week since it happened, he’s brought it’s like a three or four week streak, right? Yeah. which will only be broken because I don’t think he didn’t mention on Monday at his press conference and of course they’re off all week now so he won’t be doing pressers more but uh he very well could resume it next week but I told Declan I said there’s a big difference in your paycheck and a professional athletes I I begrudge no normal person also and don’t get me started because we’re doing the we’re doing the normal person versus NFL culture thing for the Jonathan Ganon fine too which is like if my if my boss laid a hand on me, dude. You work at Staples. Like, it’s not the same. It’s the NFL. Anyways, but yeah, like if you’re if you’re in the NFL and you’re allin committed from like August 1st or July 25th through the end of the year, coaches get pissed when you miss practice for any reason, even if it seems totally like illogical and potentially uh I don’t know what the word is, but like insensitive cuz someone’s having their first child. Like he’s he was clearly annoyed by JJ McCarthy missing a practice for his child. Clearly annoyed. If a boss could physically strike employees, I would want to be a boss. You want to strike me and AJ? Is that No, I’m just saying like like there have been people, not you two in particular, but there have been people where if I if I was a boss, I’d I’d hammer them physically. Literally hammer them. Put your shoulder pads on. I want to pop. Yep. Exactly. Right. That’s the other thing. Like the dude was wearing the dude was wearing pads and clashing with 300 lb men for 3 hours and like the coach pops him in the p you know a 180lb coach pops him in the pads. Oh my god. He physically assaulted him. No, the defensive tackle physically assaulted him 5 minutes before that happened. Well, that’s why you that’s why you got to keep that private. That’s a postgame thing. Slap him post game. Yeah, people always want more access in the NFL, but when you really get all the cameras and you pull back the curtain, it’s like walking into a wild animal zoo that you Oh, wait. It’s like this. Oh my god. Ain’t it great? I love it. Um Declan, nothing came off the board. Uh something’s still on the board that we’ll leave on the board, I guess, cuz technically he could still do this. JJ McCarthy will have at least 3,000 passing yards by week 12. He’s got to get going. He’s got to get going. Got to play. So, season stats, I’m at 43 and a half% completions. Declan 34 and a half. Jud just under 34%. Listeners just under 33%. Uh Jud, Dex, myself each with eight touchdowns. Listeners with seven touchdowns on the season. So, pretty tight touchdown race. Career stats, Declan the completion percentage leader at 36 1/2. Listeners, the touchdown leaders at 67. So, there’s the accountabilities. Let’s get Dan in here. Let me remove this. Pop Dan in here. Do a little Boom Boom. Dan, what’s going on, man? How’s life for you? Hey, great, brother. Thanks for having me. Appreciate you guys. Thanks for coming on. Got uh got the twin support rocking on your head. Who’s going to be their new man? Who do you want to be their new manager? Oh, I don’t know, man. What do you guys think? I I got a couple I want Tory Hunter. Trevor Plof is I was rooting for Tory Hunter, too, actually. But we’ll see. I want I want I want someone who can strike employees. I’ve just decided I love this idea. How about when Jonathan Ganon gets fired soon by the Cardinals? The Twins should hire him as a manager to change the clubhouse culture. Raging around the dugout just like get back in there. You didn’t run that out to first base. Give me Pierernki. Okay. He’ll strike somebody who didn’t hustle down to first. Are you kidding me? Call up Ghire. Call up Ghire out of retirement. You know what’s funny that Dan brings that up. I was just kind of thinking about twins. We were doing there’s twins manager odds out the other day and Toby Gardenhire is according to one like website cuz he’s been in the system and uh I thought yeah I wouldn’t put it past the twins to like reach back into the bag and just hey let’s bring back someone familiar that we know can do it. Go get go bring Gardy back for a couple years. That’s funny. Yeah, it’s a nonzero chance. So what about the Vikings? Where where are you at going into the buy here, Dan? Where’s your psyche at? three and two. I think the real season is going to start after the buy here. Actually, I think this whole pre first five games has just been kind of like a what is going on. Like we don’t even know who we are. We didn’t play anybody in the preseason. Uh it’s going to be a gauntlet. So, I think the real season is going to start actually after the buy for this team. If if I’m being honest, I agree with that completely. And and I think that’s why being three and two is so crucial cuz if the real season started at two and three, I think you’d be in trouble. But now you’re now you’re not I mean ideal ideally you’re four and one but three and two you’re still very much in the mix. So like I think they treaded enough water through the first five games to put themselves in a position to and and they’ve talked about this part of their thing is they don’t have an identity yet because they’ve had guys out they they’ve had just a a lot of weird things. McCarthy’s played two games. So, Okonnell’s talked about the fact that they need to find coming out of the buy their identity, which I completely agree with cuz if you were to ask me to say say, “Okay, who are the 2025 Vikings sports dad?” Be like, “I don’t really know yet. I feel like we don’t know.” Yeah. They’ve it’s like they’ve given themselves they passed the first challenge which is just keep your season alive with all these injuries, get to the by-week and then get some pieces back and then start to move forward. But yeah, two two and three versus three and two with that upcoming schedule would have been probably impossible to to get back into the playoff on. So, um yeah, Dan, you want to fire up your first prediction here? Are you ready? Yeah. No. Awesome. Let’s do it. We’ll go Dan, Jud, age, and then I’ll round it out here. Three chips around the room as always. Let’s go. I hope I hope I’m right about this because the Vikings have been the most penalized team I think in the NFL if I’m not mistaken. Um, a lot of their a lot of their penalties are like even pre- snap, which is weird. So, they have to clean this up in the buy. And I don’t know if it’s just a combination of, you know, new players shuffling in and out, injuries, if it’s just everybody seems confused, especially in the red zone. Like, you can’t take delay a game penalties in the red zone and lose it down. You just can’t. So, write this down. The Vikings will have less than eight penalties against the Eagles at home. Okay. Yeah, that feels like a that feels like a good step. Let’s The pre- snap stuff is a problem, but also sort of understandable. I know Jud and I have fought about this. When you’re running out all of those different combinations and different quarterbacks, and it’s like you’re trying to get on the same page with what are we doing, what are we checking to, what are we looking at, and what’s the what’s the new guy’s cadence? And then there’s a center who’s never played before. It’s like, yeah, you’re probably going to have some early jumps or some bad formations. So, but you do have to clean it up. I think it’s probably fair though to say starting out of the buy, it has to be fixed. Like like like we if the first five games were sort of a we don’t know who’s starting and blah blah blah, that’s all gone now cuz you will lose games. Like you like the Vikings are doing enough things that are troubling that will cost them games. The fumbles you cannot have. The pre- snap penalties, the penalties. Now, I will say this, if you go back and look at it, I believe against Cleveland, they only took one or two second half penalties. So, and Cleveland took like 13 or something like that. So, like like Cleveland took a lot of steps to lose that game and the Vikings to their credit took advantage. But yeah, I think starting with the Philadelphia game, the combinations like like we’ve had enough of the combinations now, you cannot have that cuz this team’s not good enough to do dumb things. Mistakes happen. Dumb thing shouldn’t happen. Yeah, write this down. Put it on a t-shirt. All right, what’s your first prediction? I could help a lot of teams out in this town. I’ll just tell you that right now. All right, my prediction is this. The Vikings will trade Jordan Addison before the start of the 2026 season. Oh, he took one of mine. He took They will trade him. I also We’re We are all just waiting to make that prediction, right? Well, I looked I actually thought I wonder if I’ve made this before, but you know, things have calmed down a little bit. Uh, but I don’t know when the trade like I don’t think they’re going to trade him in season by the November 4th deadline, but I just I don’t think after disappearing in uh London. I don’t see how you can continue this. I mean, the dude literally came back for one game from a suspension, right? one game and then the next week goes awall and then it’s, you know, it sounds like behind the scenes that this was a mess and they covered it up as best as possible and then Jordan played well once he was done with his first quarter benching, but like I don’t think this was a simple the alarm didn’t go off. Yeah. Like the the buzz seems to be that he was unaccounted for for a period of time, right? Yes. God. Yes. You probably lost a lot of money on Sunday if I’m being honest with you. Yeah. Yeah. Because this is this is going to be a thing. Well, the three different transgressions, the first two that led to a three-game suspension and then this one that led to a internal one quarter suspension. Other teams are going to use this against him the rest of his career or at least for the next contract to Dan’s point. So, it’s uh write this down. All right. Age, what’s your first prediction? Well, I’ll stick with Jordan Addison here. And I think that uh because of his transgressions and now he’s staying back at TCO Performance Center. He said he’s gonna get some work in with JJ McCarthy, they’re gonna keep that connection going that we saw in training camp. They’re going to further it here on the by-week. So write this down when JJ McCarthy comes back and starts his quarterback for the Vikings. His first touchdown pass will be to Jordan Addison. There you go. The chemistry. Why doesn’t he just stay at McCarthy’s house and sleep in the baby’s room and change the diaper? Honestly, yeah. Some accountability. That’s a pretty good punishment right there. Like diaper duty for for missing a walkthrough. Would you trust him? Would you trust Jordan Addison to Would you leave your newborn baby? Probably not. Alone with Jordan. Probably not. But But I love the idea. I love the idea. Build build like a guest house on Okonnell’s property. And Okonnell gets the keys to his car so he can dole, you know, I got to go grocery shopping. All right. But the timer’s on. A and and track him so so his cell phone can be tracked constantly so Okonnell knows wherever he goes. I love this idea. This could be saw just if he shared his location with, you know, Kevin and maybe JJ McCarthy and Carson Wentz and they could always Oh, listen. He’s He’s not at walkthrough. Uh he’s just at a club in London right now. Everyone, it’s fine. We at least know where can you put a receiver on house arrest? Well, what was the Michael Floyd thing from a few years ago? Lived in. He was like staying with Kyle Rudolph in his basement and drank a ton of kombucha and got drunk off it. That’s right. That was kind of sad cuz he was like he was a bad he was an alcoholic and it was Yeah, it was a Write it down. You like writing things down. Um I got to reformulate. I’d like to make an Addison prediction, too, but it’s uh I I kind of figured somebody or multiple people would jump in. So, I’ll I’ll go to this one. There’s been a lot of buzz in the nerd corners of football Twitter about Blake Brandle’s PFF grade. So Blake Brle started at center, played center for the first time in his football career basically. And there was only one really kind of questionable snap. He didn’t allow any pressures of note and maybe it wasn’t always super pretty, but he got the job done. And PFF came in and said, “You were one of the worst players on the field that day. 41 grade.” And then uh JFF came in, Jeremiah Sirill’s football focus, and he’s been ranting on Twitter about this too and said, “Listen, it’s it doesn’t make sense. He was great for what they needed.” So, I’ll just say this. PF will give Blake Brle, so it’s a parlay. Blake Brle will start the game against the Eagles at center and we’ll have a PFF grade above 50. So, it was 41, it’ll be above 50, which isn’t gang busters either. So he’ll he’ll start and he’ll have a PFF grade above 50 at center. Write it down. Write it down. You like writing things down. And and I agree with Jeremiah football focus here that yeah, whatever the grade was, it it was enough for them to go 9 for9 passing on the final drive. He was not noticeably terrible. And I kind of figured the snap stuff is going to be a huge problem. They’re probably going to whiff on like three or four snaps or a ball’s going to hit the ground and knock on wood. That really didn’t happen. So, offensive line was just fine. Yeah. All right. Back to Dan, your second prediction. Okay. This is actually I don’t know, Mackey. I feel like you’re going to really go after me after this one. Nice. All right. I have been a proponent since this happened that I was banging on the table that the Vikings should have hired Jim Harbaugh. Now, there’s a couple reasons for this. I mean, Phil, Jim Harbaugh has, you know, he’s had success wherever he’s gone, and I understand what the Vikings organization is trying to accomplish with this culture, but the philosophy of KOC and the philosophy of Jim Harbaugh very different. The game starts in the trenches. I think KOC has gotten away with mediocre trenches because you have Matthew Stafford to a point and you know some other stuff. But so if the Vikings, write this down, if the Vikings would have hired Jim Harbaugh, they would have had a they would have been in this this is hard to quantify. they would have a a more consistent approach and they would definitely have a better understanding of their identity of where they are now. If that makes sense. Yeah. We can’t take it as a prediction like an official write that down prediction cuz it’s not something that it’s like a hypothetical but it’s a great talker. Do you want to put like a Jim Harbaugh record in in his Chargers job thing? We’ll say this. The Vikings would have gone further. The Vikings Yeah, the Vikings would definitely be in a better position. I think when it’s all said and done, Jim Harbaugh will have a better record. There you go. With the Chargers than than KOC will have with the with the Vikings. Okay. Playoff record. Playoff record. Oh, playoff record. Okay. Playoff record. Okay. Better. And so so this is this is a long-term Kevin Oonnell with Vikings, Jim Harbaugh with Chargers. Playoff record versus playoff record. Absolutely. Yes. Okay. I think they’re a prisoner in the moment with Zimmer because Karba is similar to Zimmer. But I just I can’t get behind KOC’s philosophy. I I just can’t. You think he’s Do you think he What is it about KOC that you that you don’t like? What’s like the the main quality or the main thing that you that you don’t like? I think there are many different ways to win a football game. I think depending upon like what you have and stuff and who you’re playing, but everywhere KOC has gone, even on the teams uh when he was in Washington, I think his run run uh offense production has been terrible. He just doesn’t emphasize it. He fundamentally thinks you can kind of skirt over the run and it just that’s a predictor of what the Vikings have been. People don’t respect the Vikings run game. They haven’t since when the first year Dvin Cook. Dvin Yeah, Dvin Cook. The Delvin Cook Zimmer teams. But that’s the thing cuz people got so mad. All the Vikings are just so predictable. They run the ball, run the ball, and then pass the ball on third down. Jim Harbaugh, and I stand for Jim Harbaugh, too. So, I I I any sort of Jim Harbaugh propaganda, I I will not disagree with you on, but Harbaugh is the opposite. He’s an offensive guy who is a run game extremist and he’s brought Greg Roman along as his offensive coordinator pretty much everywhere. Well, in San Francisco and then now again in in uh Los Angeles and they you look at them over the years and they’re always first or second in rushing attempts. So, he’s he is the if if Kevin is like begrudgingly handing off more than he’d like the first five weeks of the season here. Jim Harbaugh is the other way. So, uh, Jud, what’s your second prediction? There will be a field goal. There will be a field goal kicked of 70 or more yards in the NFL before the season is over. And that includes the playoffs. Somebody is going to make there will be a field goal, a successful attempt of 70 or more yards before the season is over. I think we’re going to go with a 70. 70 burger, 71 burger, something ridiculous. Have we had well actually didn’t didn’t a long time ago in terms of attempts how my question is how many attempts of 70 yards didn’t the Raiders try with Sebastian Janikowski from 70 way before it was ever I think the record was still like 63 or something and the commentary booth is like laughing during the call of like them trotting out like what are these guys doing? Yeah. But now it would not it would not be laughable. There’s about five, six kickers that it maybe more or I’m not saying it’s likely they would make a 70 yarder, but it’s no longer laughable because isn’t the record 67 now? So we we keep pushing it back. Yeah. Right. Uh so in 2008, Lane Kein sent Sebass out for a 76yd prayer. 76. It fell nearly 20 yards short. Is he What’s his range today? There’s a little wind. Yeah, a little wind. Is he good? We good? Send him out there. Yeah. Is that not the most lane kiffin thing though? Like like if if you were to say get lane Keiffin just styling on the sidelines got Yeah. We’re going to go. Yeah. Yeah. Sebastian Janakowski puts the puts the bourbon and the cigarette down. Walks off the the yardage. I think I got coach. Yep. I love I love that guy. He was absolutely out of his mind crazy, but I loved him. Write this down. Oh my gosh. Um All right. I’m going to I’ll do the Jordan Addison one here. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, no. AJ, it’s AJ’s. Did you make a Who made the 70? I think I think it’s my turn. It’s your turn. Sorry. I do the field goal. Yeah, we’re good. Um, write this down. Carson Wentz will have a multiple interception game before JJ McCarthy returns from injury. Wow, the negativity. I love it. Well, you and Declan are collaborating on quarterback cesspool challenge and negative Carson Wentz predictions. I just think he’s gonna get the start against the Eagles and that Eagles defense is not a joke. So yeah. Okay. Although you can gash that run that run defense like cannot throw the ball like Yeah, it’s fantastic. It breaks my heart. But that defense is good. Yeah, their defensive front. They got some dudes. Write this down. So is Cleveland. Write write this down. I’ll add to the Jordan. So my I also had Jordan Addison will be traded by the Vikings at some point. I’ll say this. Jordan Addison will be traded by the Vikings at some point for a second round pick or better. So, they’re going to get they’re going to get value for him. That’s a layup, that’s for sure. Yeah. I mean, if they trade him, I think the second round pick is a layup. But, he’s also a really good player and and they are struggling to move the ball. It’s not going to happen like before the trade deadline. But I I do think that him going awall in London, anyone who was like, “Oh, it’s been a year since he had any.” Okay, he’s like maturing. No, nope. He’s not. And this probably resets that trust clock back at least a year or two. And you’re there’s no way they’re going to trust him enough to give him a second wide receiver a huge contract. So, it’s it’s a trade. I get the impression Jame Williams contract. I just don’t think I don’t think you’re gonna give him any contract, Jud. I get the impression that um that KO thinks that that he can save him. So, I think someone’s going to have to talk KO into we can’t do this. Like it’s just you cannot you can’t give him a contract cuz he’s going to get a contract and it’s going to be very nice and and he doesn’t have security right now and he’s doing this. Like that’s my thing. You’re on a rookie contract and you got three strikes. What happens when we secure your future and you walk away with a guaranteed check? I would have no interest in seeing that story end. It’s also, even without the trust issues, it’s a it’s a questionable uh roster building tactic to give two wide receivers a ton of money when there are other more premium positions out there. And so, as long as Jefferson is fairly highly paid relative to his position group and uh and effective, then it just it makes even less sense. The Bengals are doing fine. I have no idea what you’re talking about. The Bengals mistakes. Yeah. Yeah. The Bengals like everything looks great. If those guys are all healthy and you got Joe Burrow and maybe you can make it work but not to win a championship and then if one guy goes down it’s over. So, all right Dan, what is your third and final prediction? Write this down. All right. So, this is JJ McCarthy prediction. So, JJ McCarthy just needs reps. I think everybody this whole Carson Wentz thing, best player to win, best chance to win thing is a whole nonsense. It’s JJ’s team. He needs reps. I mean, he was in the facility all last year, right? So, like I feel like everything is downloaded into his brain. He just needs to get the speed of the game. He needs to be in the game. I don’t think anybody realistically thought there wouldn’t be growing pains. I mean, I think the expectations were blown out of the water from Sam Darnold. So, like if Sam Darnold doesn’t win like 14 games last year, we this whole thing like feels differently, looks differently. the the so what I’d say is if we if he goes the rest of the season and you know whether he’s healthy or not and then we go into 2026 and he’s still trying to figure out the speed of the game we’re peacemeilling backup quarterbacks together at the end of 2026 either Quesy or Kevin Okconor will be fired. Oh okay. Yeah. So yeah what’s the quantifiable prediction on this? So, if the Vikings have uh if they don’t make the playoffs in 2025 and 2026 with JJ McCarthy being the primary QB, either Quesy or KC will be fired. Okay, I love it. Dan Dan putting putting heads on hot seats here. Putting putting butts on hot seats. Write this down. Love it. Dan Dan, since you’ve got this lifealtering platform here on Purple Daily, is there anyone in your life you’d like to thank or shout out or say hi to? Uh, I’d like to shout out uh my mom for supporting me through all the practices, football practices growing up. She was a wonderful woman. Uh, shout out to all the Vikings fans. Uh, my first season ever watching the Vikings was 98. So, um, don’t ever lose faith. Keep on it. It’s a good group of fans. And, uh, yeah, got these, you know, the Vikings, uh, you know, make my blood pressure go up, so might as well, uh, Has anybody else got blood pressure medication on Sundays? Excuse me. Not yet, but we’re getting closer. I’m sure there’s quite a few, Dan. I’m sure you’re not alone. Drop those prescriptions in the comments below. That’s a new thing. Show us. Hey, before the game starts, show us your blood pressure meds. Vikes. Vikes. I just take drug I just take drugs illegally. Do Do you guys ever just like walk away from the TV and you just like for like like a series or something watching this team? I do sometimes. I’m just like I can’t watch the series. I got to I got to go outside for a second. I mean, I feel like I don’t want to speak for Jud, but I feel like as you the more you watch and and then the more you are just like immersed daytoday, we’re we’re we’re talking on these mics every day and we’re it’s my my emotions have a little bit of a separation from what’s happening on the field now. Like I’m able to process it more now and okay, like what do I think about this car crash that’s happening in front of me versus like feeling like I’m in the car crash, if that makes sense. I’ve created some some safe emotional separation from uh you know Vikings trailing Steelers by two touchdowns late in Dublin. I mean to be fair if Addison’s in those first three games this se we might be four and one. I mean I don’t know. Yeah they might they might have snuck one of those. I think if D I think if Darasaw plays in the first couple weeks too. I think that Bears game looks different and I think the Falcons game might look different too. Isn’t that a weird way to treat an MCL? Like how’s that? You like a pitch count? I’ve never seen that. Either he’s healthy enough to play or he’s not. Yeah, there’s there’s or if he’s not healthy, start him in the second quarter and put him in the fourth quarter when it’s actually needed. Surles did a great job of explaining that he probably had some pain. Like there was probably something wrong. It wasn’t a pitch count, which I agree completely with that there was probably some pain. He did come back to his credit. He came back before he was expected to and he’s been back on the field since training camp started. So I think we’re talking about a pain tolerance thing and my guess is that the pain tolerance was very high by or or the pain was very high by Sunday. Yeah. Oh wow. Yeah. Anyway, but Dan, great stuff, man. Good luck with your predictions and um make sure you don’t forget your blood pressure medication against the Eagles here in a week and a half. We’ll need it. Thanks, boys. Appreciate it. Pop an extra one. All right, there he is. Hey Dan, guest listener, predictor, our guy Dan.

Before I get to my prediction, can I tell you guys a secret? But I need you not to tell anyone else about this. Oh, wow. All right. I feel like when people say that, I don’t know like what am I what am I committing to to locking up? Like what if it’s something heinous? I have I have to tell someone I don’t know what the secret is. So before the um before the last game at US Bank Stadium, you you have to you come in the main entrance there for the press. Yeah. The you have to wait and it’s a basically a freight elevator takes you up to the press box. So we had to go downstairs first to go back upstairs. And who gets in but Victor and his entourage. Oh. Oh, Aussie. Well, he’s got like three people with him who who like help. I don’t know if they help him around or what, but anyway. So, was it it was just you and Victor and No, it was me, Victor, the entourage, and probably two or three reporters, TV people, whatever. Anyway, so the guy who is operating the buttons, cuz there is a person that does that on game day, he basically starts to ask what floors, right? Like press box, level, blah blah blah. And so I jokingly said, “How’s this gonna work?” Because Victor can’t talk now. I know his entire he could he could put up, you know, fingers and and I hear who says I can’t. Oh no. And I’m like, “No, Victor and I had a conversation in the elevator.” What? Oh, I feel like that is a wild breach of I was told by Victor and then I was told I was told in the press box cuz I I came out of it and I said my dreams are shattered. My dreams are shattered. Victor talks and I did get the old sh don’t tell a soul. Don’t tell a soul. Just tell you know the entire Purple Daily audience. I was I was taken back. I was Victor. I couldn’t believe it. Do you remember when when Mike Grim uh the the voice of Golden Gopher football, Mike Grim, another great one, told us the go the the Goldie? Now, there’s different goldies, but I don’t know how there’s it’s always been a mystery how many Goldie Gophers there are. Yeah. But there’s there’s like you got to have a hockey goalie who can skate skating gold. Yeah, exactly. You’ve got and there’s all these other sports, goldie, volleyball goalie, and different goalies and stuff. They were on I think it was a gopher football caravan thing. It was out there. So it’s it’s like a one of those like small kind of um shuttle buses that has seats for maybe 10 or like 15 people or something. And so they’re traveling around outstate Minnesota bouncing around and uh they get they they’re so there’s maybe six people on this bus according to the story that he told us. Yeah. Yeah, no problem. And he knew himself and four others, let’s say. And then there was one person that he didn’t know who they were. It was like a student kind of aged person. And so then they, you know, they get off the bus and then they go into the event, they go into whatever and they, you know, yuck it up and stuff. And and so it’s the five people, him and four other people. And then Goldie Gher is also in the room. And so then they get back on the bus and once again it’s Grim and four other people and then like a college age student that he has never seen before and he kind of goes over and he’s like, “So what’s what’s it like what’s it like being a Goldie Gopher? What’s it like playing Goldie Gopher?” They’re just killing time on the bus. And the student stares back at him and he’s like, “Yeah, what are you talking about?” He’s like, “Well, I mean, you know, I just kind of curious what it’s like being a mascot.” The guy goes, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He dead panned it the the entire character. Well, didn’t they have a great I thought part of the story though was like the Goldie Gopher had signed like someone’s face or something like it was really like got in trouble for signing a body part. Right. And like one of the administrators like you can’t be doing that. That’s what it was. It was the administrator that was Yeah. And the guy’s like I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Yeah. I I’m And he’s like you cannot be doing this. He’s like look don’t talk to me. Talk to me. You have to hide it from your You’re supposed to hide that you are a mascot from all your close friends and family. And I don’t know who Victor is, just to be very clear. But I but I thought I was in a position of power in the elevator saying, “You can’t talk.” And he’s like, “Who says I can’t?” And I had to figure out where the voice came from at first, too. So, I was really thrown off like whipping around. Where the hell did Oh my god. One of the one of the most tormenting moments of my life and and career in sports media was the first year at Target Field. And I you know you you I’m a beat writer. I’m so I got to be in different places. Clubhouse down here, but it was like I didn’t know the stadium that well yet. So, I took a I think it was the first like home stand and I’m leaving the field and I go down try to go down past the clubouses and just get back to the elevators and go up and I took a right down the wrong hallway and I open up a door that I thought was to get back into I don’t know the hallway. Yeah, I’ve done this. And uh there’s at least half of TC Bear just just hanging out. Looks over half human, half bear. That I saw parts of bear and parts of human. Yeah, they’re going to die. What’s up, pal? Wrong stairwell. Oh man, there has since been different TC bears. The first two could just hit bombs and they could catch everything and then they hired like a less athletic TC bear a few years ago that like couldn’t catch the first pitches. Well, yeah, the the ball would inevitably go off the poor person’s glove. What’s funny is I still don’t know who who the original was, but we used to DM on Twitter. Yeah, but I still know who it was. Big talker. Yeah, I like I seem like a nice enough guy. He knew a lot was going on. He knows where all the bodies are and and including his own clearly since Phil saw it. All right, final write that down from me is um the Chargers will beat the Dolphins on Sunday and Mike McDaniel will be fired before he can coach another Dolphins game. Also, this is it’s it’s coming up. It’s imminent. I mean, but my god, the body language of him walking off the field and then that press conference that he gave on was that Monday when he’s just rambling on about Steven Ross, the own like I actually, you know what? I feel bad for him. Like I I don’t think it’s funny. I feel bad for that dude. But um I think if they lose he should be fired for his own sanity. Yeah, he I don’t think he was ever supposed to be a head coach, right? I think he’s a he’s a great offensive coordinator schemer guy. Yes. And and and All right. And if and if you get off to a hot start like they did with their creative run game and their passing game, but once the league kind of figured out what they were doing schematically and then they, you know, their roster erodess a little bit, especially when you lose Tyreek Hill or he gets a little older, is he the type of guy that can walk into a locker room of grown ass men in the National Football League and be taken seriously? I don’t know. He always felt like kind of a goofball and now that it’s gone off the rails, he’s like this depressed figure. He’s going to go back to being a great offensive coordinator somewhere. Maybe even he knows KC. Maybe when when Josh Macau gets a job somewhere. Wes Phillips moves to a different type of position and Mikey McD comes in here. Do you guys recall when uh when Robert Salah got fired last year by the Jets? Matt Laflur hired him as a consultant with the Packers. Yeah. I would bring McDaniel in as a consultant tomorrow if I could. Yeah. because I think he’d be great for ideas and to bounce things off of and I think he’s a really good uh strategic guy, but the Dolphins also are a mess. It goes beyond him. They’re uh they’re a mess. I I think Steven Ross is probably in the bottom five of people that I would want to own my football team. It’s a bad Yeah, it’s a bad deal. All right, AJ, what’s your final prediction? I thought I was going to have this surprise factor, this big wow factor, and then this conversation basically just killed any and all of that for my final prediction. So, write that down. Mike McDaniel, his next coaching job will be somewhere on the Viking staff. Yeah. He’s going to get fired at that was your prediction? Yes. Oh my god. I had that written down. Wow. Yeah. So, if he gets hired, let’s say he gets fired and then hired as a consultant somewhere else, technically this would be wrong because you’re saying his next job, right? His next job, his next his next job in football will be somewhere part partly on the Viking staff. But but if he’s hired as a consultant because he’d be paid, it would count, right? by the Vikings. Yes. I’m saying if he gets hired somewhere else as Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. Okay. I bet. Yeah. I I just coming from that Shanahan offense kind of under that tree and then I mean he’s creative and I feel I feel like him and KC are like similar ages probably like they would get coffee together or whatever and be able to like just talk. What? Kevin, you’re saying Kevin and and Mike? Yeah. You know, they I mean they’ve worked together, right? Yeah. Right. In Washington. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, probably the history’s there. I don’t know. Probably it is like it’s uh it’s probably going to happen. I think I think there’s a chance that it’s either a consultant or he’s just the next offensive coordinator and maybe they move Wes over something else. But what tight end’s coach? Well, could you see could you see if the offense continues to kind of be like bottom third of the league, could you see Kevin shaking up his and if Macau gets a job somewhere else? I could I could see Kevin he has not shaken that thing up, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. Uh, okay. Write this down. So, right now, according to most odds websites, I don’t know if MyBookie has this or not. Mybookie.ag, by the way, uh, promo code purple daily. But I’m just looking at the most likely coaches to get fired. I’m going to say this. By March 1st of 2026, these coaches will be gone from their current organizations. Mike McDaniel, Brian Dable, Dave Canales, and who else do I want to throw on here? Brian Callahan. Brian Callahan, Tennessee. Sure. Yep. I’ll say those four coaches by March 1st of 2026 will not be with their current teams. So, we’re going to do our quarterback cesspool challenge here in just a moment.

And you can learn more and get tickets at vikingfest.com. Football. All right, dudes. [Music] Let’s pull this up here for the YouTube audience. The quarterback cesspool challenge. It’s a weekly celebration of bad quarterback play in the league. All three of us will look to draft a quarterback we think is going to perform poorly in his game this weekend. Once you draft a quarterback, you can’t use that quarterback again the rest of the season. So, you have to be strategic when you deploy your bad quarterbacks or maybe take a risk on a good quarterback you think is going to perform poorly. We track uh each week using ESPN’s QBR, a 0 to 100 scale. We’ve got weekly winners and we’ve got the seasonl long aggregate winner as well. And AJ is collaborating now with Declan. So, that’s a that’s a new feature here. Last week, I correctly identified Cooper Rush for another weekly victory. 29.4 QBR. Jud had Dylan Gabriel against the Vikings, a 39 QBR. Pretty bad. Pretty bad. Uh Declan had Carson Wentz. His guy Carson Wentz at Carson Wentz no matter what. He wrote down uh days before we even knew about some of the backups that were going to be starting at a 45.9 below average QBR. Gino Smith was the worst quarterback in week five at 19.1. But uh a new feature here is if AJ was allowed to pick who he wanted to pick instead of who Declan wanted to pick. AJ who also wanted Dylan Gabriel cuz he was picking before Jud. That would have been a better pick than Carson Wentz. So AJ, uh you with Bryce Young the week before, you would be 2 and 0 over Declan if you were allowed to pick who you wanted to be the quarterback in the quarterback success pool challenge. You know, uh it’s reassuring. It’s reaffirming in my in my eyes. So I I’m I’m glad to know that uh at some point I can identify a less than ideal quarterback. That’s why I supported you. That’s why I supported you in that threat. I said, “Let AJ do his job.” So, your process this week and and you guys uh Declan and AJ collaborating together handinand here. You guys get the first pick because you finished last last week. Jud, you get the second pick and then I’ll pick third. So, uh what was your process and uh who are you guys selecting here for the week six quarterback cesspool challenge? Dex was sort of banging on the table for this guy after last week. So, I’m I’m going to just take it right away for him. Dylan Gabriel is going to be his selection. I do want to say that of the of his preferred guys, my because he he doesn’t have Dylan Gabriel yet and he also hasn’t I can’t read this. Yeah, I think I think font’s a little small. Here’s what I would say if I if we’re going to keep the whole shtick alive of like what I would what I would pick. I think Joe Flacco in his first game commanding the uh the Bengals is gonna be just a catastrophe. So that would be my pick. But uh is he do we know if he’s starting yet or are they going to start with Browning and then because the problem there would be that you’ve already used Browning so you’d be risking if you take Flacco and he doesn’t play you can’t get Browning because you get the backup but you’ve already used Browning so you would default to a 75 QBR. So it would be a risk to take. So no. Oh, so take the risk. I I will I will take Dylan Gabriel for for Declan, but but on the record, I would go Joe Flack. Okay. I think he’s going to start. I mean, Jake Browning is a disaster that putting him out there for what, four games is coaching malp it’s organizational. Forget coaching. Organizational malpractice. Fire everybody. I think he threw something like nine picks and six touchdowns. I mean, it’s just unfair. He’s awful. They should have traded for Jameus Winston. That would have been that would have been the fun look, right? I saw they didn’t even call about him or Russell Wilson. Yeah, the Russ thing I is totally played out. He should just retire, but like Jamus, if if you’re looking for a guy to just throw darts into tight windows and give just give yourself a chance, I think Jamus would have been the option. Joe Flacko behind that line, too. Oh my gosh, it’ll work out great. I I mean, he’s going to end up The sad thing is Joe Flacco is going to play his way into a hospital bed. That dude must love football, man. Cuz it’s it can’t be about the He doesn’t need the money anymore. And it’s not like he’s making $30 million. All right, Jud, who’s your pick here? Quarterback challenge. Be done. Uh I I will take uh last week’s Victor. Well, it was you, but it was also Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush, it looks like, is going to start again against the Rams. So, I will um I will piggyback off that one and hope for another terrible performance as the Ravens sink to I think at that point one and five. Yeah. Mhm. Okay. Well, that leaves cuz I’ve already used Cooper Rush and Dylan Gabriel. So, my I have four guys on my big board. I’ll just kind of talk it through here. I’ve already used Browning, Spencer Rattler, Michael Penn, Cam Ward. I’ve already kind of successfully though burned some of the worst quarterbacks. So, here’s the guys on my big board. Tua versus the Chargers in a game where I think the Dolphins might quit and run into a Chargers team that’s two straight losses. So, I could see that being a total disaster. Aaron Rogers against the Browns defensive front is interesting. Mhm. But also, if they just run quick game like they did against the Vikings, maybe he gets away with like a decent QBR. Jackson Dart against the Eagles is a fun one. And then I have Kyler Murray at the Colts with all the weird vibes surrounding the Cardinals. They could either rally and put up a fight because they they are pretty talented. But they could also just get boat raced by the Colts and Kyler Murray could have one of those shrug emoji games. Mhm. Um I think though it would be What’s that? Did the new Call of Duty come out yet? I know it’s right around the corner. So check that schedule here. Hold on a second. Call of Duty. He’s beyond that now. No sort of No, I’m saying that the Cardinals have have sort of just punted on the season. It feels like at times November 14th. All right, I’m circling that for for Dex. I think we’re going to save old Kyler Murray for November. Comes out in a month. Look at you. Now, now is he does he have enough pull to get an early copy? No, he I mean he has he has in the past. They’ve done like the the the pre-streams where it’s like we want to advertise the but I don’t think this early. I think I think it’s we’re we’re it’s definitely Call of Duty season here, but I’m gonna I’m gonna go Jackson Dart. Give me Jackson Dart against the Eagles in this game. Okay. All right. Old Jackson Dart. A lot of a lot of shaky stuff in his second game. A lot of bad interceptions. So there it is, boys. The quarterback cesspool challenge. Green. little celebration of bad quarterback play. Uh, all right, we got to run here. There’s going to be a trenches episode recording later today, probably dropping tomorrow morning. We’ve got Thursday tomorrow, feedback Friday coming up here. But, uh, for age filling in for Declan, for the sports dad, I am Phil Mackey and, uh, this is a podcast where we just want the Vikings to win a Super Bowl before we die. See you guys.
