Or.....OR....you go all in on JJ's development and let him be QB1 for 2026 and lets see how much he's improved.
*I* could do lots of stuff but... WWKD? (What would Kevin do?) I think he's seized control over at TCO because he thinks JJM might be the end of his job. And here we are in the quarterback of the month club. JMO.

No, I disagree about KOC being stupid. I don't think he's anything of the sort. I do think he's trying to figure out how to win now and still keep JJM as The Man. I think you either are both feet in or out. I think he's still smarting from letting both Uncle Sammy and Danny Dimes go....who actually let them go I don't know.
I'm an O'Connell fan....but if he makes Murray QB1 I'm going to really question my thoughts on that subject.

I think (strongly suspect?) KAM put KOC and that coaching staff in a real bad position in 25...
I believe the stories that KOC didnt believe JJM was ready yet, not after a rook season spent in re-hab.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

The guy that was 6-4 in starts? I'm all for upgrading the QB room, yes please, but behind JJM. Every Kyler Murray highlight fest I see from national talking heads just shows him scrambling, running around and throwing some hero ball jump balls. Whoop-de-do. Where's the pocket precision? Oh yeah, he's 5'10" standing on the greater New York area phone book.
Stupidity.
I keep going back to the definition of insanity. If we sign Murray, isn't it Brett Farve, Sam Darnold year 1, Sam Bradford, Kirk Cousins.... We are just a QB away.....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Let JJM play. If he can't, draft Arch Manning...NEW plan...NEW
Sorry, my VTSD (Vikings Tramatic Stress Disorder) is kicking in hard today.

I might take a 2009 redux - with a happier ending. That was a f'ing fun ride, till it wasn't.

One thing of note on this. Every one of these has a big giant opening in front of him to throw through. If I was an opposing defense, I would hire 4 Sumo wrestlers 6'8 to stand in front of him and then just give them a sandwich or something.

It was fun, until we unraveled at Arizona and Chicago the last couple weeks of the season, setting up New Orleans as the #1 seed. Everyone fixates on the Farve interception, but the absolute ineptitude of the 12 man in the huddle after a time out...
I also remember 2010 was an unmitigated disaster..

So Jordan Schultz reported that Minnesota had strong interest in Geno Smith, which I agree with. Maybe KOC hasn't lost his marbles completely.

God I hope so! You say this like it's a bad thing. Favre had us in the NFCC, Darnold won 14 games, Bradford before he was hurt might have been the best QB play I've seen from a Viking since Culpepper, and Cousins was an MVP candidate before his achilles. If Murray gives us that, I'll take it!

Super Bowl or bust..I am tired of NFCC games and 14 win regular seasons. Get one before I die...I am 2 cheeseburgers away as it is.
