No that only took hours not days.

No way I trade McCarthy for a 3rd and 5th this year. I’d rather have him here in the bldg.

Gives me inside track to how he looks going into camp next season

If McCarthy has that much upside to trade for and start, why wouldn't we keep him?

Jim Harbaugh said all the right things during the draft, but I do not think he would recommend him to his brother. I am sure he knows all things the Vikes have experienced with him.

Like, what would be the point of NY bringing in a developmental guy to save their season?

and then what ... Have him backup Dart next year?

Tyler is looking for clicks, its a stupid idea. And the 'logic' he tries to put on it is even dumber. There are no 'trade partners'.

I mean, can't they focus on a HUGE game Sunday at Tampa with a surprising 2-0 Vikings team than discuss fantasy clickbait QB3 stuff right now? I guess the online game for views never stops. 🙄 Did Kyler Murray make the trip to Chicago? I didn't see him on the sidelines?

He should have made the trip. Divisional game with limited travel. He should have been there for his team.

He was far enough in the concussion protocol to fly so he should have been there. With his stature...you probably didn't see the Ooompa Loompa in a sea of giants.

My thought. HIs concussion shouldn't have been any travel limitations at that point. Reports are that two people hugged him, not just handshakes, Flores and JJM. I don't believe Murray was there at all.

I said before the year that JJM and Wentz will be atop every single Trade Target list all year. Idk if that's a good or a bad thing, but I'm not surprised it's happening.

Really hope we don't trade JJM, but I also thought he'd be dealt before the season even started so what do I know. The Giants would have to be absurdly confident in their draft evals to trade anything of value for JJM in the hopes he saves them THIS year. I doubt they have that conviction when seemingly the rest of the free world forgot McCarthy can even complete a pass, but ya never know.

Sidebar the Falcons and Vikings both entered the year with a mishmash of injury-prone dudes at QB and the results to date have been what you'd expect... except for the fact we're 2-0! BFlo u dog u!
