Just has a face for TV.

Looks the part and is really dialed in with information.

The reporters I always respect are the ones that know the GMs and the coaches.

The only information you get is from agents.

I just don't respect you.

But you got to tell me the people that are making decisions that are funneling you information.

He's one of those guys.

He lives in Minnesota.

He's pretty dialed in with the Minnesota Vikings.

And he told Eisen over the course of the last couple days that the Minnesota Vikings plan on this being a quarterback competition.

J.J.

McCarthy versus Kyler Murray.

My first response was, I don't think there's anything... I don't think quarterback competitions really exist anymore.

And I think we have some recent examples of the moment you sign a Kyler Murray, it's his job to lose.

They aren't equals when training camp starts.

Right?

Kyler Murray is the lead dog in this.

He was signed.

Now, granted, he was signed partially because he was cheap, but in an independent situation, if they're both healthy, J.J.

McCarthy is not going to beat out Kyler Murray.
