Super Bowl no problem. Turnful Daily is Daily Vikings Entertainment. We just want the Vikings to win a Super Bowl before we die. I will ride with this group! Seriously, man. Please.
And welcome into Purple Access. If you are watching this on the YouTube or um some form, do not adjust your screen. The screen is correct. It is Judd, it it is Chip, and it is our uh good friend Kevin Seifert, who who of course does a great job covering the Vikings for ESPN, covers the rules as well. And uh of course, back in the day, long, long ago, we were all colleagues at the strib at various times covering the The Vikings, welcome to the show, or I should say, welcome back, Mr Seaford.
Thank you very much. Great to see you guys bright and early this morning and uh and looking forward to it for sure.
Well, um, speaking of that, we are uh so this this is uh going out on Saturday. So we are one day away from the rookies reporting. Tuesday the veterans report. Wednesday, uh everyone is on the field and since I have uh uh two esteemed uh journalists, longtime Vikings beat guys with me, let's rip the band aid off, boys. Let's talk about the punter. No, let's talk about Johnny Hecker, he he could throw the ball. I keep saying that. He can throw the ball. Um let's talk about the quarterback situation. Kevin, I'll start with you, but I mean, so just from your view of trying to weigh things here, what what is your opinion of how this is going to work and how much of a competition or a true competition, open competition this is?
I mean what what I've thought and what I've been saying is that it is an open competition in the sense that whoever is the best quarterback on the roster is gonna play. There's no financial incentives for one guy or the other to play. There's no um You know, the person who drafted JJ McCarthy is no longer with the organization and the Vikings didn't draft Kyler Murray, so there's no loyalties or anything along those lines uh affecting it. Um it's and the Vikings are are not yet ready to say who they think the you know the best quarterback on the roster is. So by that definition, it is an open competition. But I think we can all look with our own eyes and our own intelligence. And know the careers up to this point of Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy and say at the very least Kyler Murray should and is the the heavy favorite to win it.
I don't think this is like a fake thing that they've already told Kyler Murray he's the starter, but they're just trying to make JJ feel better or they're just trying to s bring more fans to training camp or anything. I do think that they are open. to the possibility at least that J.J. McCarthy could shows such tremendous improvement from last year and and or Kyler Murray could uh fail to absorb the offense to such a degree that JJ McCarthy could be the week one starter. But um absent of any of those two circumstances, I think there's a there's a clear understanding of what the the very the the the the likeliest scenario is here. Chipper, go ahead.
Yeah, I yeah, I I've I was been thinking about this and I've I thought back to last year and I've mentioned this story a few times on here, but It was early in camp where where I asked the Vikings if I could sit down with uh Kevin O'Connell and and ask do a story on just, hey, how do you put a together a training camp?
