The Minnesota Vikings\u2019 QB pair is waking up to that realization, as Kyler Murray competes with J.J. McCarthy for the Vikings\u2019 starting QB job.<\/p>\n<p>Splitting reps with McCarthy has made things tougher for Murray, who has already shown glimpses of frustration. The situation has escalated a bit in recent days, so much so that two-time Super Bowl-winning running back LeSean McCoy is now serving a reality check to Murray.<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/nfl-hq\/redraft-simulator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><br \/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NFL-Ultimate-Simulator-Redraft-Web-Banner.png\" alt=\"PFSN NFL Ultimate Redraft Simulator\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\"\/><br \/><\/a>Run a full NFL redraft where all 32 teams start from scratch, and the entire NFL player pool is combined into a single snake draft.

However, he didn\u2019t hold the role exclusively, as he split first-team reps almost evenly with McCarthy, who also worked extensively with the starters.<\/p>\n<p>Murray later said that adjusting to a new offensive scheme while sharing reps with McCarthy has made the transition more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>On the \u201cSpeakeasy\u201d podcast, LeSean McCoy minced no words while talking about Murray\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love a super-confident, arrogant player, that\u2019s good,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2064566070602809742\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">McCoy said.<\/a> \u201cBut you know what? I hate a super-cocky arrogant player that is just barely above average\u2026 That\u2019s not that good. That\u2019s a little above average. That is Kyler Murray.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gets so bad where he starts. You know what? I\u2019ve been great in high school. I\u2019ve been great out, bro. What have you done for us lately? Because you\u2019ve had some good wide receivers.

Is that what it is? Because the truth of the matter is, you really watch his career. I mean, it\u2019s been kind of overrated, and we hype him up for no reason. I think this is a good quarterback battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murray is attempting to reboot his career in Minnesota after a difficult 2025 season in Arizona, where he recorded a 75.1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/nfl-qb-rankings-impact\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFSN QB Impact score<\/a> and received a C grade.<\/p>\n<p>As for McCarthy, he started 10 games in 2025, finishing 6-4 with 12 interceptions and a D grade in the PFSN QB Impact metric. He was briefly mentioned in trade speculation after Minnesota brought in Murray, but he has publicly expressed his commitment to staying with the franchise and continuing his development in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>With two hungry QBs aiming to bounce back, it remains to be seen who ultimately wins the race in Minnesota as they look to pick up the pieces this year.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Splitting reps with another quarterback has always been a bone of contention in this league of ours.
