TC DAY 11 ~ Aug. 11

The first ~10 days of Vikings camp did nothing to dissuade the notion that Kyler Murray was the favorite to win the QB job. (https://t.co/HWO8fFV3wB) But he has stalled out a bit since, making for tough timing if Kevin O'Connell wanted to make a call. From yesterday: pic.twitter.com/sFcTCSkyTY

Kevin O’Connell wants to complete a fair QB evaluation.

He simultaneously prefers to make a call on a starter with enough time to best prepare the offense and team.

Can these two objectives co-exist? With the clock ticking, we’re all going to find out: https://t.co/623lXZitaP

“Before this past weekend, all signs pointed to the #Vikings naming Kyler Murray the starter in the near future. Since then, neither Murray nor JJ McCarthy has performed at a clip that makes the impending decision clear to any objective observer.”

#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell on what will decide the QB competition:

“It’s really the competitive stamina of making sure you do your job in every play. What does that mean, you know, calling the play and making sure all 10 other guys in the huddle are on the same page. Have a… pic.twitter.com/wuQcJ2IcMe

#Vikings S Jakobe Thomas has been “banged up” the last couple of days, @BenGoessling mentioned via @KFAN1003. Goessling said the injury “doesn’t sound like it’s terribly concerning” but it has limited him over the last few practices. pic.twitter.com/Uyjq0h8QEp

Huge week of practices in Eagan before the Vikings head east to face the Giants. Hopefully one of these QBs can take hold of the job soon and the world’s worst game of hot-potato can end.

So, I wonder how Kyler now being named the starter affects practice today.

Well it would net me $25,000 if that were to happen. I went another $200 before Kyler was named lol. I sure hope he is that guy.

McCarthy getting work in early. Offense is in white today, defense in purple. pic.twitter.com/7F1ZjrjbJR

I agree. Many of these guys are playing hard to even make the team. They can't afford an off "poor performance" day. Gotta try their best to keep making positive plays. Even the starters have to focus on doing their job well. It's not necessarily a final decision, things can change over time depending on performance and/or injury.
