Sometimes they'll get quarterback controversies in the locker room.
I don't know if you saw the video clips, Kevin, from the Minnesota Vikings.
They interviewed side by side, like since they side by side right after, Kyler Murray and then J.J. McCarthy.
You know, and they say from the seasoned veteran to a younger kid there.
Kyler Murray's like, "Hey man, awesome.
Teaching him everything I can get to.
we're gonna have some fun here, but I wanna make sure it's gonna be a competition.
It's gonna be great."
They go over to J.J. McCarthy and J.J. goes, "Yeah, we sit on opposite side of the classrooms.
It's up to the coaches to decide on who's the better quarterback going to be."
I love this stuff 'cause I get nothing out of the Eagles with Nick Sirianni.
But Kevin, Minnesota this year, Kyler Murray will be that starting quarterback, and J.J. McCarthy's like, "I don't think so at this point right now."
Ooh, this is gonna be good.
Yeah.
I, I mean, J.J. McCarthy seems like the type who is going to ignore the obvious to say he is in a entrenched quarterback battle.
But nothing was more insulting than the initial list of teams that they posted odds for starting QB, you know, week one starters- Mm-hmm didn't include Minnesota.
It was the Raiders and the Browns and the F- they put the Chiefs, they put the Chiefs up 'cause of the Mahomes injury.
They did not think it was worth putting up Kyler.
Kyler Murray is, the same exact favorite to be the week one starter for Minnesota as Mahomes is now for Kansas City.
So, all right nine, like, but again, I, I appreciate confidence and he shouldn't- give it up, but also the organization should not allow him to look silly, and I feel like- Yeah they are allowing him to look silly.
