Hey everyone ~ I didn't realize there was a thread already made about this when I posted. I had the "New Thread" opened to make a post, when I saw the news, so I went with this one instead. Guess I should've thought to check first. 😊
Combine into 1 thread!
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Hopefully KOC used some good word salad to assuage JJ McCarthy's feelings. It'll be interesting to see what happens next.
It's not like this was unexpected by anyone, even JJ. But I'll bet a dollar to a donut that KOC mentions Kyler's experience advantage playing a key role in the decision.

I think that is pretty obvious in the decision, buddy.
Experience and processing speed.

If I were JJ, I would be pissed the fuck off that KOC blocked me from going to LA with McVay.

I don't think he cares what jj thinks but it had to be hard to tell him he's going in a different direction
Based on how they both have looked not sure it really matters, because neither one seems like they will hold down the spot for long and they both will be starting at some point.
Will be interesting to see what happens now with Wentz and Brosmer, if Wentz stays my 2026 Vikings prediction is that he eventually becomes the starter.

Kfan saying they think Wentz is QB2

Well you should when you drafted him 10th overall.
I think that was more on the GM who was rightfully canned

Well, hopefully that worked. I merged them.
Thanks, I was just going to figure out how to do it. I really do apologize to @CFIAvike, for not checking the forum out before posting. That's what I get for being excited that the decision was finally made. (Even though, most of us already knew who it would be.)

Not going to name names, but someone on this board told me over the weekend that right after the Sunday Night practices, they'd name K1 starter.
Smart man...
I predicted the Monday after the night practice. It's Tuesday. :-)
