Do Minnesota Vikings need quarterback competition in offseason? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

ALL THAT. YEAH, THE RAMS ARE ARE A SUPER BOWL FOOTBALL TEAM AS WE’VE DISCUSSED A LOT. ALL RIGHT, THE RAVENS WHO HAVE NOW WON 3 IN A ROW? YEAH. GO TO MINNESOTA BEAT THE VIKINGS 27 TO 19. IT WAS 103, I BELIEVE AT THE HALF THE RAVENS OUTCLASS, THE VIKINGS IN THE SECOND HALF. THE VIKINGS HAD TOO MANY TURNOVERS. 2 OF THEM WERE BASICALLY PUNTS, BUT THEY WERE DEEP SHOTS ON THIRD, AND SHORT. AND THEN THERE WAS THE KICK RETURN, FUMBLE. THAT WAS VIKINGS. GIVE ME 5 WORDS OR LESS CHIP CHIP CHIP. CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP. THEY JUST CHIPPED AWAY AT THAT LEAD. THERE WAS 5 CHIPS THERE. YEAH, OFFICIALLY, BUT BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THE, THE, IT WASN’T A PRETTY GAME BUT BUT LIKE THEY JUST KIND OF HUNG AROUND AND THEN OH GET THE FIELD GOAL BEFORE THE HALF. LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT THEY DO THAT. THEY GET AN INTERCEPTION, RIGHT? THE THIRD QUARTER, THEY GET ANOTHER FIELD GOAL AND THEN LIKE YOU SAID OFF OF THAT FIELD GOAL THOUGHT COMES THE FUMBLED, KICK RETURN, AND THEN, BOOM, THEY SCORE A TOUCHDOWN AND THEY HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE FOOTBALL GAME, RIGHT? SO, GOOD COMPLETE. TOUGH ROAD, VICTORY. I DON’T THINK LAMAR JACKSON’S EVEN 100% YET. I DON’T GET THE SENSE OF WHEN I WATCH HIM RUN THAT HE’S REALLY RUNNING FULL SPEED YET. I THINK HE’S BEING CAREFUL WITH IT TO A DEGREE, BUT WE SAW THE DEFENSE GIVE THE VIKINGS OFFENSE ISSUES. THEY PUT THEY PUT THE PRESSURE ON JJ MCCARTHY YESTERDAY THAT THAT TO ME WAS THE BIG THING THEY WERE LIKE WE’RE NOT GOING TO LET THE RUN GAME GET GOING. LIKE IT DID LAST WEEK. WE’RE GOING TO SEE IF JJ MCCARTHY AND HIS RIGHT ARM CAN CONTINUALLY THROW THE THE FIELD THAT WAY. OF COURSE HE WENT 20 FOR 42 AND THAT’S NOT NUMBERS THAT ARE CONDUCIVE TO WINNING A FOOTBALL GAME AGAINST A TEAM. LIKE THE BALTIMORE RAVENS, 242 248 YARDS. A TOUCHDOWN AND 2 INTERCEPTIONS, JUSTIN JEFFERSON 4, CATCHES 37 YARDS. TOOK A COUPLE OF SHOTS ON THIRD AND SHORT. MY 5 WORDS ARE CHIP CHIP. CHIP, CHIP, CHIP KNOW. I’M LOOKING BIGGER PICTURE HERE? YEAH. VIKINGS NEED A QUARTERBACK COMPETITION. I THINK THEY NEED TO SIGN SOMEBODY IN THE OFFSEASON NOT AS THE YOU’RE GOING TO BE THE STARTER AND JJ’S OUT. I THINK THEY NEED TO MAKE HIM EARN IT AGAINST SOMEONE. THEY NEED HIM TO BE IN THE DAY IN AND DAY OUT COMPETITION TO PUSH HIM TOWARD HIS SEALING AND WHATEVER. HIS BUT RIGHT NOW, I AM CONCERNED. THE CEILING ISN’T WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE BECAUSE WE CAN’T HAVE 1 WEEK. IT ALL CLICKS AND IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S BEEN LIKE I I FEEL LIKE HE’S NEVER GOING TO BE GUNSLINGER. HE’S NEVER GOING TO BE MATTHEW STAFFORD. IT’S GOING TO BE WHAT CAN I DO AT THE RIGHT TIME? MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY IN THE RIGHT SPOT. SOMETIMES WE WIN SOMETIMES. WE DON’T, I THINK THEY NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY WITH A HIGHER CEILING. AND SO THEY NEED TO EITHER PUSH HIM TOWARD THE HIGHER CEILING INTERNALLY OR THEY JUST NEED TO PULL THE PLUG. YEAH BUT I THINK I’VE SEEN ENOUGH. I’VE SEEN ENOUGH FOOTBALL OVER MY LIFETIME TO KNOW THAT THIS GUY’S GOT A FEELING THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO TAKE HIM INTO THE TOP 5. I THINK YOU’RE BEING A LITTLE PRESUMPTUOUS, OKAY. YEAH. I MEAN FOR SOME YEAH I MEAN PRESUMPTUOUS COULD WORK TOO. YEAH. BUT BUT AND YOU KNOW HE’S NOT ON THE PRECIPICE OF BEING A FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK. LET’S EARLY TO TELL. LET’S LET’S, LET’S LET IT WORK OUT A LITTLE BIT HERE. I MEAN, I I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SAYING AND I THINK IF WE GET TO THAT POINT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WHERE WE’RE STILL SEEING A LOT OF PLAY LIKE THIS RIGHT HERE THEN. YEAH, I DIDN’T. BUT IT’S IT’S THE IT’S CHICKEN IN THE EGG, AGAIN, THE GREAT DECLARE THEMSELVES. THEY DON’T NEED TIME. PATRICK MAHOMES DIDN’T NEED TIME. JOSH ALLEN DIDN’T NEED TIME. THEY JUST SHOW UP. THEY I I GUARANTEE YOU IF PATRICK MAHOMES HAD PLAYED AS A ROOKIE HE WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN PATRICK MAHOMES LIKE HOW MUCH OKAY BUT THOSE ARE HOW MUCH OF THIS THOSE ARE 2 OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. I KNOW BUT I JUST WELL. SO THAT’S WHERE I JUST LIKE LET’S JUST I WANT THE VIKINGS TO HAVE 1 OF THOSE TOO AND I SHOULD HAVE NOT, LET’S FIND ANOTHER. I’M GOING TO CHANGE MINE. IT SHOULDN’T BE CHIP, CHIP, CHIP CHIP? I’M JUST GOING TO SAY WATCH OUT HERE, THEY COME. THAT’S BECAUSE THE RAVENS, WATCH OUT HERE, THEY COME. AND, AND THE DAMN AFC THE THE, THE, THE, THE, THEY’RE CAPABLE OF WINNING THE AFC STILL, AND GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL. SO THEY’RE, THEY’RE THAT KIND OF YOUR POINT, OKAY, WITH JJ MCCARTHY AND ALL THAT AS WELL, LIKE, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SAYING, THEY JUST NEED TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE MOST OUT OF HIM. AND WHAT IS IT? AND NEXT YEAR, THEY NEED TO BE BETTER PROTECTED. THEY NEED TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE IF IT’S NOT WORKING BECAUSE I’M CONCERNED THAT BY NEXT YEAR. ALL RIGHT. YOU WEREN’T CONCERNED LAST MONDAY AFTER HE BEAT DETROIT, I WAS STILL BUT YOU WERE YOU WERE FEELING GOOD, BUT I WAS FEELING GOOD BUT I WAS STILL HERE’S MY POINT. THEY GOT TO HELP OUT A LITTLE BIT TOO. AGAIN, HE CAN’T BE THE LEADING RUSHER, HE CAN’T BE THE LEADING RUSHER AND THE LEADING PASSER, AND DO EVERYTHING. AND THIS TO ME GOES BACK ON THE VIKINGS AND KEVIN OCONELL LAST WEEK, THEY HELPED HIM OUT. YEAH, SPECIAL TEAMS WAS BIG. THE DEFENSE MADE SOME PLAYS. THEY RAN THE BALL AND THEN HE MADE A FEW PLAYS TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. HE’S STILL A ROOKIE AND THAT’S THE WAY IT HAS TO BE YESTERDAY WAS LIKE, HEY, IT’S YOUR FOURTH START EVER. CAN YOU CARRY US TO VICTORY AGAINST BALTIMORE? WHO’S ON FIRE AND FOAMING OUT OF THEIR MOUTH AND I JUST DON’T THINK THAT’S FAIR TO HIM RIGHT THERE. SO THAT’S WHERE I JUST SAY LET’S LET’S JUST WAIT IT OUT. JUST A LITTLE LONGER BEFORE YOU, YOU KNOW TRY TO WALK THEM OFF THE PLANK. OKAY, WELL I KNOW SAYING IS I WANT THEM TO PUSH HIM. YEAH I AND I FEEL LIKE HE GETS CODDLED A LITTLE BIT. LIKE LET’S NOT CODDLE. LET’S SEE WHAT THEY HAVE. LET’S JUST SEE WHAT THEY HAVE AND MAKE THE DECISIONS ACCORDINGLY AND YOU KNOW THAT’S THE THING, MOST TOUGH DECISIONS. THE ANSWER BECOMES OBVIOUS BY THE TIME.
