MMQB: What J.J. McCarthy/Ty Simpson Conversation Says About Our Absurdly Impatient Culture

The Vikings do not need to dump McCarthy. They need to determine whether issues that held him back in 2025 are terminal. Signing Murray is a good way to do it

Honestly, I dont know if signing K1 is a good way to do it or not? But the Vikings had very little choice but to sign him for a year try out. I suppose we have to hope a competition helps both and somehow if K1 wins, a year on the bench helps JJM.

I think people think that Starting QB is like CEO of a company and you’re only allowed to have one, and if you want to make a change at QB, either temporary or permanently, that means that you have to “fire” the old one.

There’s a myriad of reasons on why “firing” JJM now is just a dumb decision and maybe it would be different if the return value in a trade was something decent, but there’s no real indications that teams are offering real value to try and get him.
