Reusse: Kyler Murray will be fine. Here’s what will decide the Vikings’ season.

"The Vikings have the talent to make a deep playoff run, but their margin for error could come down to how many key players they can keep on the field."

Yah I read it but didnt think it added too much to the McCarthy discussion, so didnt post it

Pretty much if they stay healthy they can make a run and K1 will be fine

Got it, thanks for the cliff notes. It was Reusse so my expectation level was basement level.

I think they keep Reusse on the payroll 1/2 time as a humanitarian gesture...

It’s a remarkable achievement to come off as “sniveling” and “cocky” at the time time, but somehow Reusse finds a way. Is it just me, or do all of his pieces end up being about himself, like he's some kind of celebrity writer?

What an insightful observation, but then isn't that true for any team? I wonder if he even realizes what day of the week it is.

I think it's likely a bigger deal with us given the incredibly poor drafting as of late. We have a first tier of vets and FAs and a pretty big step down to the backups.
