Interesting take...I'm psyched!

Teo makes a good point about the decision defenses will have to make. Play cover-two man to stop Jefferson and Addison and risk getting burned by Murray’s keepers? Or play zone to keep an eye on Murray and watch Jefferson and Addison have a field day.

It made me wonder when an elite running QB has had receivers like this? Lamar Jackson’s best receivers were Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Hollywood Brown. Josh Allen had Stefon Diggs and nobody else. Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman?

I really don’t think many Viking fans have thought this through. If they all stay healthy, this is going to be a very difficult offense to defend.

And I hope there are plenty of times when a Mike LB is going to have to cover KM alone and 1:1, thats just not a fair fight. I agree that Murray has not had as complete a surround as 26 Vikes.

Mahomes had Tyreek for a while, not sure who was opposite him anymore...Burrows (not an elite runner but elite none the less) has it damn good at WR, but is pretty snakebite unfortunately.

I'll keep mentioning that I'll bet that locker room is pretty excited to have KM join the team, that just can't be discounted heading into a new season.

Vikings offense is gonna spread out opposing defenses in a way Vikings fans have never seen.

From what I've read, I don't  see where the Vikings aren't fundamentally  better than anything Murray had in Arizona. On all 3 levels Offense, defense or special teams. 

It's on paper,I get it. But I definitely wanna see how this plays out...

Curious to see if  the Vikings will draft another RB/wr hybrid that will stress the edges of opponents defense
