Report: Kyler Murray will visit the Vikings on Thursday

[MaroonBells]

Once upon a time Kyler Murray had an agent who fed the media a lot of nonsense, like every other agent.  The end.

But dad, doesn't this require an audience of idiots?

As far as the eye can see.....

I see this going down this way.... Murray signs on a wink and nod deal that he will compete with JJM for the QB1, but we know its not really going to be an open competition, he is here to start. I expect him to do his usual and the team has another 1 and done, hell maybe 2 playoff wins even, but it will largely be the playmakers and the D, and not the QB position that delivers the success, but since its Murray we get a couple 3-4 JJM appearances that show that he has made small improvements, but not really enough to say he is the future which makes that 5th year decision next spring really a toss up. In the meantime, Murrays camp wants a multiyear $50M+ after "his" successful season which only further confuses our front office, but ultimately they decide to let him hit FA and lose out on him, are picking in the late 20s so a real shot at one of the top QB candidates is off the table, and JJM is no more game seasoned than he is today.

in the short term.... weeeeeee, it will be fun, but in a few years we will be looking at this as a wasted year IMO, as we arent a real SB contender, thus we waste a year of Jeffersons prime ( just with a different QB ) and we are no closer to knowing who will be QB1 in 2028.

You're very perceptive, junior.  You're gonna go far in this world.

Anything can happen in the NFL but I agree with you for the most part. The most likely outcome if the Vikings sign Murray is that Kyler plays well and the Vikes get the privilege of becoming one of the teams paying a non-elite QB huge money. JJM traded

I believe I have said this in various ways across the board numerous times.  Vikings just keep doing the same crap over and over and over...Just have to find the correct way to kick you in the nads at the end of the season and for the future.

Two scenarios...If Murray lights it up and JJ takes another year to perfect his skills...Next year, Murray will be gone chasing the big contract and most money and we'll still have JJ at a young age. If JJ lights it up, then we'll know he's the quarterback of the future and Murray still goes after that big contract & money.
The organization knows this, the coaches knows this, Murray knows this and JJ knows this...Seems like everyone wins one way or another.

I dont see them overpaying Murray, he is to injury prone and his playing style doesnt typically translate to later career success,  I see them letting him walk,  but then having to blindly take on the 5th year of JJMs deal,  but still having to grab another 1st round QB in next years draft not knowing if JJM will be viable yet.

Only way to explain it is over exposure to the desert sun,  heat stroke can make people say really irrational shit.

Desert sun wears down the body also.
