All right, let's pivot now to the NFL. Albert Breer is at the Cleveland Browns camp today. Sunday, he was at the Bears. I saw him there. Monday, Packers. Yesterday, Vikings. So let's start Vikings. You're there on the decision day. Um, there's always kind of interesting vibes with it. There's gonna be some PR. I don't think you and I are surprised by it, but I am a little surprised.
Oh, a little. I mean, I I think really like what this came down to for Kevin O'Connell and his staff was they wanted to be able to project and not hope. And that's what Kyler Murray offers them versus JJ McCarthy. They can hope a lot of the nice things that they've seen over the course of the preseason would translate, but that doesn't mean it necessarily will. Whereas with Kyler Murray, it's more of a known commodity. And here's the important thing. I mean, you can't fool Locker. Right. So if the locker room sees which way this is going, maybe it's time to say, okay, here's our quarterback. We're building an offense for him because an offense for Kyler Murray is gonna look a little different than an offense for JJ McCarthy.
This gives them a month to do that. And look, like the bottom line here, Colin, uh there's a lot of veteran players in that locker room who don't care about your three-year plan or your four-year plan or your five year plan. There's guys like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Aaron Jones, Christian Derisau, Brian O'Neill, Byron Murphy, Blake Cashman, Andrew Van Genkel. I could go on. All these guys won fourteen games two years ago. So they don't want to be sitting there waiting to see whether or not what the competition bears is going to work. They want to get go forward with their season and and this allows them to do that.
Um I think JJ McCarthy, I mean it that that feels like it's over. Do you think he'd get moved or they'd just say, Hey, listen, you know, we're gonna play him in the preseason. If he plays well enough, we'll keep him in the room. Kyler has a history occasionally getting banged out. What do you think his future is?
What does Albert Breer say about the Vikings' decision day vibe?
Yeah, I mean you say you never say never on this stuff, but I I do think JJ's you know handled himself pretty good over the course of the offseason. He's made real strides in and technique and some of the the fundamental stuff that he needed to work on. He's gotten more accurate. Now, like is he where Kyler is? No. And that's why right now he's the second quarterback on the depth chart. I I do think Kevin O'Connell would like to keep working with him. And I do think That they feel like that there could be something there in time. Obviously not what they thought it was going to be when they took him tenth overall, but they do think that there's there's talent to work with there. Um and if you've talked to Kevin O'Connell before, you know how he feels about the quarterback position.
He feels like teams fail the quarterbacks more than quarterbacks fail the teams. And so, you know, I I I think the way he looks at it is if we can put him on ice for a year and Like, you know, get him to to to go through an entire season where he's just the backup, which he hasn't had a chance to do yet, um, that could really wind up benefiting him in the long run, whether that's in Minnesota or somewhere else. So I don't think he's completely given up on him. I I would say, you know, you never say never. If somebody gets desperate, someone has an injury or something and wants to come and trade for him, you know, maybe you consider that, but I don't think that's part of their
plan right now. The coolest hot seat in the league is Matt LaFleur. You were at the Packer camp Monday. What what was your what was the vibe?
