Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O\u2019Connell has made things perfectly clear where the quarterback competition stands<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n “There is a timeline to make sure that we can allow the competition to continue and advance and really lay out a training camp that will allow us to do that, but also make a timely decision,” said O’Connell<\/p>\n It\u2019s not much of a surprise that the Vikings are taking the quarterback competition seriously, but there are a lot of interesting elements at play.<\/p>\n Tom Pelissero has fascinating comments about Vikings\u2019 quarterback competition<\/p>\n It\u2019s an interesting competition the Vikings are having, and it\u2019s one that many have predicted Kyler Murray<\/a> to win over J.J. McCarthy<\/a>. We\u2019ve heard from many individuals about how the competition has been going.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The one national voice who hasn\u2019t been wavering with his opinion on how the competition has been going is NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero. He spoke to Rich Eisen and gave some interesting context on the competition.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin O\u2019Connell and that coaching staff wanted to go in with an open mind, because this is not just about 2026, but it\u2019s also about trying to put together the puzzle pieces on something that the Vikings haven\u2019t solved, probably since Dante Culpepper, which is who can actually be the long-term solution at the quarterback position,\u201d said Pelissero.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n That lines up with what we\u2019ve heard at A to Z Sports in public settings and behind the scenes.
