REPORTS: Vikings to Bring in Veteran QB Competition for JJ McCarthy in 2026

1. Jimmy G please!!!

2. Go get Burrow!

3. Bring in Malik say a open competition and let the best man win and move on he wont cost the team draft picks they need the picks

4. NFL management is way too much set on starting the guy they drafted, instead of the guy that plays better and gives them the best chance to succeed. If the Vikings were not so invested in McCarthy, they would probably be sitting where Seattle is now with a chance at a first round bye in the playoffs. Management thinks they look bad if they don't play their first round QB, but in reality, they look bad when they don't care about who is the best QB. They just care about the perception of people outside the team.

5. I really still don't get why we got rid of Mullens. He was worth his $ as a backup

6. I'm not serious about this but the Bridge QB coming in should be none other than Teddy Bridgewater.
   Seriously though, looking at that list of names, who can pass for 250-300 yards per game, have few ints and can run when the pocket collapses?
   Nick Mullens could pass but those gun slinging ways meant he would throw picks. I liked what he did except for the picks. At least JJets were targeted a lot

7. How about they surprise us all and go for a bunch of records? How about they do what is unthinkable, and somehow make the playoffs??? How about??

8. I can be patient another season since no other QB path has proven successful (as far as getting to another SB) in the last 50 years. We’ve gone through the draft, trades and free agency so I can give him a shot next year. Just get us one SB trophy! Load two more experienced QBs and see what happens.

9. Jameis Winston is only 31. He should be starting somewhere.

10. Baker Mayfield should be a target, he's a very good QB and not injury prone.

11. No and never to Mullens.

12. Sadly only guy I’d like is Malik Willis

13. Bring On the Rodgers Talk ….Here we go Again! Should be Tyrod or Mariota

14. JJ will be fine! He's 22 years old

15. If he doesn't get justin over 1k yards move on 😂😂😂

16. "Veteran competition" like Joe Burrow? Haha

17. If you don't like JJ the Jets are looking for new fans

18. Mac Jones looked good in one of the games that I saw when Purdy was down.

19. I wanna see Trey lance, I know he’s not a much of veteran if at all but I believe in him still

    Otherwise I wouldn’t mind a swing at Malik Willis

20. And for the love of God send Brosmer to the CFL! He's an embarrassment for every Vikings fan!

21. Just bring Wentz back. He loves the Vikings and has earned a little money from the team.

22. I'm ride or die with JJ; not like a lot of the whiners who post here.

23. Gonna be Mac Jones imo

24. Dishing out BS on competition.

25. If we give up on this guy after one year what the fuck are we even doing?

26. I think the most realistic is Russell Wilson.. He would get the ball to JJ and I can already see those throws to the moon for Addison. I think at worst they bring back Wentz wish we would have rolled the dice with Rodgers this season it could have been special with him and JJ.

27. We need a running game and o-line depth. Draft Jeremiah Love and linemen in the second and third rounds. Maybe a center as well. Become a run first team. That’s how the Vikings become contenders.

28. Why is this even a thing😂 this was a bad season coming off 13-4 season.we can’t miss on QB play 2 years consecutive

29. I’m sorry like Teddy better than JJ than right now

30. Jameis Winston all day long as a back up. It could be fun regardless.

31. need to get burrow at any cost

32. MINE 🤴🏼❤️👸🏻💍

33. If Darnold wins a superbowl I’m going to throw my Viking gear away. So pissed at this organization.

34. Anybody watching the Seahawks dominate the Niners tonight knows damn well it was a huge mistake to let Darnold walk. Just think of the draft picks they would have had to rebuild this team with youth. If I was Mark or Ziggy I would be asking huge questions.

35. No confidence in this teams GM and front office. They let a playoff caliber QB walk. Inexcusable.
