Butโฆwe gotta give the 8 year vet and former #1 overall pick time to get comfortable in this offense
Not the 23 year old kid that you drafted top 10 a couple years prior
God forbid you let a young player develop!

This years offense has been worse than last years in every metric.
This. โWe are closeโ no tf we are not koc. Mf says that every week.
Many of my followers are saying, "We're 6-0! Nothing needs to change!"
I take the exact opposite approach: *Because* the Vikings are 6-0, they need to make a change at quarterback.
It's time for the Vikings' experiment with Kyler Murray to end.
The Vikings have the league's best defense and best special teams. Those occurrences don't happen often and almost never simultaneously.
Meanwhile, the Vikings offense is among the league's worst, if not the worst. Its 10 touchdowns are the fewest by a 6-0 team in 94 years, the first year after the forward pass was legalized in the NFL. During Minnesota's 11-game winning streak, kicker Will Reichard has contributed more points than the offense, defense, and returners combined.
The Vikings rank 29th in passing yards and 31st in touchdowns scored (thanks, Titans!).
Today's Vikings offense is very unlikely to run the gauntlet of playoff teams to reach the Super Bowl. Minnesota will almost certainly squander this generational opportunity if they don't improve their quarterback play. And they may frustrate Justin Jefferson enough to lose him in the offseason.
There was offseason optimism that Kevin O'Connell could work some magic on Murray to revive a career on life support. But Murray's sample size has grown big enough to draw firm conclusions. The Minnesota version of Kyler Murray isn't different from the version in Arizona last year when he was benched for Jacoby Brissett.
On Sunday, Murray had all of his weapons healthy and faced a battered Colts defense missing three cornerbacks, including Sauce Gardner. Murray completed 14 passes for 150 yards and 1 score.
The only positives for Murray are his lack of interceptions and his periodic scrambles for first downs. But that's not nearly enough to balance the scales against his passing deficiencies.
Can we hope that Kyler Murray improves? I guess, but I'm reminded of the axiom, "Hope is not a strategy."
Carson Wentz represents a minor upgrade over Murray, but not enough to win a Super Bowl, even with a great defense.
It's not easy to improve the quarterback position during the season. But it's not impossible. The Giants appear to have just done it.
Nolan Teasley should be hesitant to spend the draft capital he'll want next April--his first NFL draft as general manager. But he should also realize that the 2026 Vikings are in a remarkable position that simply requires functional play from its quarterback.
It appears there's no single super-power team in the NFL. The 2026 Vikings have a real chance to reach the Super Bowl, but only if they find a quarterback to hoist the offense out of the cellar.

Notable #Vikings passing yards so far:
- J.J. McCarthy | 252 Yards in W7
- Kyler Murray | 247 Yards in W4
- J.J. McCarthy | 243 Yards in W6
- Kyler Murray | 229 Yards in W5
JJM could be a dud, a bust. But trading him for a 5th is terrible, terrible work.

"If this J.J, McCarthy, maturity off the field and the on-field prowess is here to stay the Giants can absolutely make noise in the NFC and they should run away with the NFC East"
After today's 27-21 win, @Connor_J_Hughes talks McCarthy's outing and the Giants optimistic future:
