That Didn’t Take Long

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!

Doesn't make sense for the Vikings. I know the odds of JJ still becoming our franchise QB are low, but if there's any chance at all of developing him, that's an asset too valuable to give away. It makes even less sense for the Giants. What happens next year when Dart is healthy? I think the Giants will look for an older guy.

I think having a decent Qb2 is so underrated by fans across the league.

Its grown in importance exponentially over the years.

It would be an epically stupid move to trade him. A couple of draft picks unlikely to do much in a Vikings uniform or keep working with a young inexperienced yet talented QB? I’d lose considerable respect for KOC and have zero faith in the new GM if they did something this asinine.

Depth at QB position is mandatory in the NFL today. Look at how many starting QBs have already been injured after TWO games (including Murray).

KOC is aware of the importance of that. He won four games in a row with different QBs. I mean hell, Max Brosmer was pulled of the Practice Squad last season to start for us.

There is no pressure to trade JJM. There is no logical reason to move off him right now. Murray could get hurt again (history says he will). Wentz could get hurt in his place (history says he will). Would you rather have JJM on the field late in the season or Brosmer?

This talk is all silly clickbait talk. If you had a GM that could draft decently, you don't need to stockpile draft picks. That just makes you lazy and a gambler, hoping someone hits. Oh wait. Brez was acting GM and he did pretty damn good.
