Why Minnesota Vikings saying this is a quarterback competition?

1. Judd needs to be reigned in, some this crap is just ridiculous, horrendous conjecture and speculation.

2. If the Vikings were 3-2 this season after five games, then in the sixth game Murray goes down with a hamstring at halftime, tie game. Who would you put in – Wentz or McCarthy?

3. You guys handled the transition from tragedy to to the daily grind really well. Kudos to Purple Daily

4. Mackey and Sports Flab, two wannabe head coach/general manager experts. Unless you both personally have been in the behind the scene meetings, you actually have no clue what their quarterback plans are. You two are using the illusion of truth effect on us. "Repeat a lie/conjecture often enough and it becomes the truth”. Both of you have missed your true calling – you should have been politicians.

5. 10:51 ultimately I think it’s unfair to say that they only don’t trust McCarthy, I think they also don’t trust Kyler, they also have no reason to commit to him being the guy with him being on a one year deal. They may have promised him the starting job in order to get him to sign, but the Falcons also probably promised the same thing to Kirk and then they drafted a quarterback, organizations lie to players just as much as they lie to the media and fans. In my opinion, Carson was brought in to have a chance of being a starter, but most likely to be the back up to either Kyler or JJ

6. Two things: For all the repetitive conjecture on the QB subject, PD is big enough of a show to..I dunno..invite a guest on to try and talk with some of these guys like DJ, Alec, etc. Literally anyone. My biggest gripe with this show of late is the monotonous conjecture on repeated subjects that become gospel to you guys because it's your opinion. The show needs to mix it up now and then or at least hear other sides of the coin on these kinds of things.

   Also: If KoC and company are trying to encourage maturity of out of JJ in goofy ways like removing the eyeblack and swag from his on field demeanor, just trade him to a team that'll embrace him. You wanna completely change the guy's personality? Too bad, you chose the wrong guy and your scouting and interview process failed you. Go ahead and find another vanilla, milk-toast, pocket passing QB in a future draft.

7. One reason for Wentz is to avoid another Sam Howell episode.

8. Honestly that new intro should be the intro.. Forever

9. They had darnold jones mullens and McCarthy in the room and McCarthy won the job by not even playing

10. Sorry…I'll take Dex's goggles

11. Can't take the negative reports from "team sources" at face value and then dismiss positive reports from "team sources". They've all gotta be taken with a grain of salt because we don't know who the sources are. Organizations are not a monolith and you'll never build perfect consensus. No way of knowing for sure which source on which side represents the majority within the building until we see reality play out.

12. Both Kyler and JJ get hurt in preseason the curse of no SB continues

13. Ofcourse they are going to say to the Kyler's agent that they might have him stay, it is a no cost statement that puts you ahead of other suiters. And yea they fed Pelissero that there's gonna be a competition but also isn't this in their best interest? They are in a situation where they don't need to promise anything to anyone, so why would they?

14. Sit McCarthy for 5 years like Jordan love

15. This is not a matter of trust. It's a matter of unknown. They are clearly hedging against all possibilities. McCarthy comes back and looks great, you have less than $5 mil invested elsewhere and can roll with him w/o consternation. If he comes back and looks terrible, you've got Kyler and Wentz ready to go. And the wild spec about "is John Beck Vikings approved? Is this another disconnect" is so left field it's not even worth discussing.

16. Wentz is a slappy

17. Long time until September

18. I think cousins knows koc system

19. You guys are so desperate to dismiss McCarthy it's sickening.

20. We have good depth for other positions, why not QB? Like imo you should always have at least 2 starting-caliber QB's, especially if you can afford to.

21. Was not a big Jessi listener, but your tributes and your honest mourning is very moving. You can't really control a lot of things but you can control who you are and choose to be. Thanks for being yourselves and for the simple honesty in memory of your friend.

22. Awesome intro!
    Aside from that, if it's true that the Vikings are actually bothered by McCarthys face paint, then this franchise is soft AF, and helpless. Good lord.

23. mccarthy is the only qb signed past 2026. Wentz makes less than mccarthy. trust is earned fellas.

24. If there are people in that building that has a problem with JJM's face paint, then I am more out on them than McCarthy.

25. McCarthy had a 6-4 record could have been 7-3 if special teams didnt blow coverage. This show went down a rally weird path on jumpijg ship from McCarthy. I agree with you Declan.

26. Face paint……

27. KEEP that intro

    Please please!

28. If KOC hasn't erected JJ. He's not resurrecting Kyler. It was Sam that made KOC look good. He's lost that QB whisperer title in my book.

29. WRECKLESS SPECULATION

30. Shoutout to our expansion buddies, the Columbus Blue Jackets – awesome gesture! And thanks to you all for taking a day to honor Jessi and her family.

31. I feel like all the local reporters except Thor really hate JJ.

32. Murray's starting

33. Those are all dumb reasons to call hi immature I love the face paint and the griddy

34. No mechanics j7st statement so he dont get fired

35. Nothing to figure out of connells bad play ca
    Ling

36. I think he sits all season

37. Here is my hot take. The Chargers and Harbaugh would take JJ as a back up and Vikes are just waiting for a deal this preseason.

38. Their aint no completion they just want 3 quarterbacks that can start

39. I think it’s just like they are reporting . Just want qbs cause look at the last few seasons you need a reliable qb3 . Sometimes the obvious answer is the answer

40. Wintz is not close to JJ I would roll withJJ any day over Wintz

41. love you guys and you maybe right about how youre looking at the QB room. i see it as a wide open battle. kyler is far from guaranteed to be the starter. he made the daniel jones move of this year. feels like he can beat out the young kid who is struggling. as far as wentz, there are a lot of potential reasons why he signed here now. maybe he just wants to stay with his childhood team and stay close to home. maybe he knows his shoulder is toast. JJ will either be QB1 or QB2 this year… write it down

42. First, the “before I die” hits a little harder when we lose a member of our community, not to mention her children. Thoughts and prayers to their family and friends. Makes you want to hug your loved ones a little closer.

    Second, let’s not act like Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz are S tier QBs. Kyler has only led his team to a winning record 1 time in 7 years. JJ already did that once in 1 year.

    Kyler has never thrown for more than 4,000 yards, and his TD/INT ratio isn’t great. He is also notoriously bad at learning the playbook and KOC has a very difficult system.

    This title acts like JJ McCarthy is some worthless piece of shit that doesn’t even register in the QB room anymore. Bro won his last 4 games and was 2 terrible special teams plays away from being 8-2 as a starter. One of those 2 losses the defense gave up 250 rushing yards.

    I think it’s most likely we have Kyler as a 1 year band-aid while continuing to develop JJ, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Kyler struggles and JJ comes in. I’m pretty sure KOC would like to play his top 10 drafted 23 year old if he believes he can play at all. It’s not like they just added Josh Allen and Joe Burrow to their team.

    Everyone given up on JJ after 10 games when he has a winning record is absolutely wild to me. We don’t deserve to have a franchise QB on this team because no one is patient enough to let one develop.

43. John Beck is one of the most renowned QB coaches in the country that has worked with Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Jared Goff. The fact Judd acts like he’s some random guy kind of points to his lack of actual knowledge

44. Ok who is going to play qb in the preseason games? Split the half’s between them or what

45. Jj mccarthy its too early to give up on him we act like hes just done hes played 10 games let's just relax

46. I’d rather lose with McCarthy and draft QB again than stay in competitive purgatory for another five years with Kyler. I fear we will never get a bowl with these owners.

47. Maybe Wentz comes in to study and become the next QB coach for the Vikings, since there are rumors of our current one getting promoted elsewhere in the future.

48. High respect for that intro 💯
