What is the breaking news about Kyler Murray being named Vikings QB1?
it's three guys who combine to play 15 seasons in the national football league trenches well two guys and mackie who didn't do this is the o-line committee breaking news breaking news i'm excited for this what's on your microphone boonie
Juan Soto. That's how we roll, bro. Juan Soto's just hanging around there. Jeremiah, what sport or entertainment thing does Juan Soto do? Baseball. Okay. Wow. I at least knew that. What teams do you play for?
No idea. You're a fucking idiot. Could not. I'm going to guess maybe the Indians. Wow. Not even a team. Not even a fucking team anymore. What's the Cleveland team? The Guardians. Yeah, the Guardians. I don't care. I don't watch that stupid sport. Of course you don't. You'd rather watch F1.
The major breaking news. We're going to make Jeremiah correctly guess the team that Juan Soto plays for. No, I'm just kidding. So while Kevin O'Connell is speaking right now to the assembled media, but Adam Schefter had his sources sniffing around the Vikings practice facility.
And Kyler Murray has officially been named the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Are we sure that wanted to come out? Or do we think someone jumped the gun? Do we think someone jumped the gun and Schefter has his sources that he pays and Kevin O'Connell wasn't ready for this, but now he has to kind of... get in front of it and be like, no, no, this was planned. Why do you say that? Because I feel like it shouldn't come from sources and Adam Schefter. If this was truly wanting to be released by the Vikings, it should have come straight from Kevin O'Connell's mouth at a press conference. They had an off day yesterday. You can't do media? I don't think this was supposed to be leaked yet.
Here we go. Here we go, baby. Now we're in it. Well, when was it? You think it was supposed to wait just two hours until he... I don't think optically releasing it after maybe his worst practice of the year is what Kevin O'Connell wanted to do. I think if Kyler Murray would have came out and lit it on fire... on saturday night in front of everyone and done everything right then yeah it's an easy thing but i i don't know i talked about purple daily i wasn't sold that kyler actually won this quarterback competition i wasn't sold that it was time that he had done enough to earn this starting spot and if you truly called it a true quarterback competition well it should come from the head coach saying
he's won the competition, not all of a sudden a source. And Adam Schefter tweets it when you had media availability today. Well, to that, to that point, I don't, I don't know when they planned on confirming it or not, but to your, to the other part of your point, which is if this was a true quarterback competition, there's no way you would award this after what we saw on Sunday, right? Once you want to see like a few more practices, which maybe even a game joints, it confirms this was not a real competition. This was Kyler Murray's job, as it probably should have been based on experience in the league from the day he signed back in March or whenever it was. Late March. What if this, though, was an indication that JJ's just doing that bad? What if that's what it is? What if it's like, listen, we, you know. I mean, the practices have all been open, though. People have seen it.
Neither one of them is lighting it up. I told you what I saw. It was like, hey, can Carson get in there? Do you think maybe we could do something with him? I personally thought after the performances, reading everything, hearing what you guys have said about practice, talking to other people that have been in practice, that I felt like the joint practices coming up were going to be the separator. Like, okay, who can perform at joints? They're doing joint practices against the Ravens, right? So whoever can shine throughout the joints, then we give them the nod and we go. Like, name it before the first preseason game, right? Or after, excuse me. After. You got to do it after. After, right? You name it after.
