TC Day 7 ~ Aug. 5th ~ Padded

I know mechanics have been a hot conversation around the Vikings QB competition, but if that were to be the deciding factor Carson Wentz would be QB1 in a landslide.

No worries!

Claiborne sure gets up to speed quickly!

Yes, he does!

Reporting live from TCO Performance Center for Vikings training camp @AtoZSportsNFL @Vikings1stSKOL. Here’s what I’m looking for today:

-J.J. McCarthy’s processing
-Kyler Murray’s ball placement
-Charles Demmings: can he continue stacking days?
-How the WRs respond after Jordan… pic.twitter.com/xPyEu8fT1w

Just happy to see him out there. With all due respect to Demmings, etc, I think when it comes to preseason games, Claiborne is going to be the one that generates the most buzz.

I agree the daily tallies are a bit tedious but I believe QB passing stats by practice have been reported in the past. Ultimately, we'll see an aggregated total of passes and completions that gives a data point for comparing our top two QB's. I don't have a horse in the race and know the coaches will make a choice based on their more complete evaluations. I hope, when it is said and done in the 26 season, we have a known starter for 2027.

Me too. I don't really care who wins the camp battle. What I really care about is that we can feel confident going into 2027. The last thing I want is to spend all season on one QB and then they're gone and having a huge question mark at the position.

Kyler Murray starts off individual drills with a really nice go ball to Justin Jefferson, who stacked Isaiah Rodgers

This shit really pisses me off. The other day some high school kid yelled "we hate you, JJ" What a dick move. WTF is wrong with people?

J.J. McCarthy followed up with a nice post route to Tai Felton https://t.co/nuk36h55Uk
