About this episode

The episode discusses the Vikings' quarterback situation and the competition between JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray.

The Vikings enter 2026 with a talented roster but a defining question at quarterback. We debate the battle between JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray, whether Minnesota can challenge for the NFC North if Murray wins the job, and if the organisation has put itself under pressure after letting Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold leave only to see them thrive elsewhere.
