Don’t say that I didn’t tell you so….weeks ago.
It’s time to trade Kyler before he gets hurt and while he is still worth something.

Back for more: #Vikings legend Harrison Smith is returning to Minnesota for a 15th season, per me and @MikeGarafolo, getting a 1-year deal worth $12.25M. The 6-time Pro Bowler & former All-Pro has a max value of $16.25M with playoff incentives in a deal done by @AthletesFirst.

So I posted this a month ago while I was there. Kyler arriving right on time and later leaving literally when practice ended. Maybe a few minutes prior……
Kyler showed up late for practice…again.

The reason that the nationwide NFL reporters don’t have all the negativity for JJ McCarthy is because they don’t have the negative agenda that the locals do in regards to JJ. @alec_lewis
JJ McCarthy at full health and on the roster…

Not what JJ McCarthy haters want to hear.
#Vikings GM Nolan Teasley says QB J.J. McCarthy has practiced fully the last two days. Expects him on roster Week 1. “Pleased that he’s part of the present version of the Minnesota Vikings and excited about his future.”

JJ haters are clueless. “He’s only started 10 games and his story’s not written” says his GM.
More Nolan Teasley on J.J. McCarthy: "I think that the thing you need to keep in mind with J.J. is that he has the hardest job in sports. He's only started 10 games and his story's not written."

Very interesting. Maybe JJ is not going anywhere even so many so called experts @alec_lewis think they know that he is.
.@AdamSchefter believes that J.J. McCarthy's ankle injury has a "multi-week" timetable. ⬇️

Looks like with the Vikings keeping 4 quarterbacks, a trade of 3rd string qb Carson Wentz is probably in the works.

Thank God, the Vikings didn’t make a short term, moronic decision when it comes to JJ McCarthy.
Despite any speculation that he could be released or traded, Minnesota QB J.J. McCarthy finished cutdown day on the Vikings’ 53-man roster.

Need JJ to play the entire first half at a minimum. Maybe 3 quarters! He is going to be needed a lot this season!!
JJ McCarthy is expected to start in Saturdays preseason game against the #Ravens, per KOC.

I never thought I would say this, but I’m losing faith in KOC. That said, we better see JJ McCarthy playing four quarters this weekend, or I will be losing even more faith in KOC. Your thoughts?

I was as big of a KOC fan as there is. But today, that started to change. I feel that he was pressured into this decision. He’s too smart to make Kyler the starter, isn’t he?

Kevin is being forced by JJ McCarthy to change his tune….
Since posting this on Friday, Kyler Murray has had a couple of tough practices against the Brian Flores defense. I don’t know that J.J. McCarthy has done enough to overtake him. But we can’t say that Murray has just run away with it.

Any idea why it is so hard for Alec to say anything good about JJ McCarthy without putting a “but” on the end? I am guessing it’s because he’s afraid he’s going to be wrong on his prediction of Kyler being the starting quarterback.
The Vikings just ended their night practice. Not a banner evening for the offense. Kyler Murray threw two INTs in 11-on-11. Interior pressure seemed to be a problem. J.J. McCarthy had some good moments early and late (especially on corner routes) but a bunch of misfires, too.

I really don’t understand why KOC doesn’t stop playing this game and just name JJ McCarthy as qb 1 already so he can get more reps in practice before the opener.
#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell still hasn’t named a starter at QB, and says “nothing has really changed” in terms of the timeline of the announcement, via @WillRagatz.

Any idea who is starting at quarterback tonight? And who do all of you think should start at quarterback tonight?
Tonight’s Vikings practice will be live on @FOX9 and their YouTube page for those who cannot attend.
