About this episode

Chad Isrealson discusses his book on Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks and compares Kyler Murray to past legends.

Chad Isrealson has a new book out looking at the Minnesota Vikings quarterback history called "QB or Not QB" where he deep dives into each former Viking QB. Matthew and Chad compare Kyler Murray's odds of becoming the next Fran Tarkenton, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham or...gasp...Donovan McNabb. Plus, Chad talks about whether the Vikings have made mistakes by not developing their young QBs throughout their history. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
