I am certain this won't be popular with the natives, but I think talking about bringing in another QB is a complete waste and a very Vikings thing to do.
Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results.
We are not winning a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, Derek Carr, Malik Willis and whatever other reject we can bring in here to "backup/compete" with McCarthy. So all we are really doing is prolonging the pain. A somewhat competent backup will get us right back to the 15-20 draft range, but not the Super Bowl. So why are we even entertaining this scenario? Is it because the Wilf's are requiring it? It feels like the over reaction of I don't know, people worried about their jobs?
To me the correct scenario is this. If you trade anything, acquire assets and picks for 2027. Do NOT add a QB. Run JJ back out there, if he fails, gets hurt, sucks whatever, run Brosmer out there. Hit bottom and have assets and the draft capital to draft a QB in 2027 (much better class). On top of that you can also have the capital to reset the roster if necessary. If you are going to trade Grennard and Hockensen and anyone else, I would primarily focus on 2027 draft picks. Maybe even somehow finagle a 2nd 1st rounder if possible.
The upside to this that if JJ competes, is competent or better and can stay healthy, bam, use that draft capital on a great draft coming up. And if he doesn't, well you have the ability to reset without some crappy half-assed QB on the roster behind JJ and a 18th overall pick.
Just my 10 cents.
