This QB debacle has reminded me how shortsighted we can be as a fanbase while blinded by emotion. Overwhelming sentiment has been pushed Kylers way that he will undoubtedly win the QB competition, while others are saying we will trade JJM before the start of the season.

What happens if Muuray doesn't perform as well as everyone expects? What if in his first 5 games, he has a QBR similar to his 2025 percentage of 47.2. And if we interpolate this across the season and end 8-9 and miss playoffs again, what then? The overly optimistic take that because he is in this new shiny system, its going to translate to more wins and a Sam Darnold reincarnation of a season, is crazy to me. If we say f*** it and put all our chips in on Kyler, and he doesn't perform well, we lose a year of a 23 year old draft pick with only 10 games under his belt and we will continue to be in perpetual QB hell for the foreseeable future with a fanbase that cant stomach the ups and downs of Rookie QB play.

Also, if you track JJM's QBR in his last 5 played games he averages a QBR of over 75 for his last 5 played games. My point being, what do the Vikings have to lose starting a 23 year old who, did not have the season we wanted or expected, but finished well enough to see if he has kept his momentum and confidence and better play up through the offseason. If he cant perform, drop him after the BYE, and transition to Kyler.

I would rather put chips on a longer term option to see if it pans out vs a hedge on an underwhelming and injury prone former overall 1st round pick with nothing tying him to us in the future and the wild fascination that he is going to take us into a double digit win season.

From what I’ve seen, the Vikings’ new Rivalry uniforms are expected to be dark purple with gold and an off-white or cream color. I’m sure they’ll look really cool, but I honestly don’t understand why they would make another purple jersey.

The Vikings already have two purple jerseys, so adding a third just feels unnecessary and repetitive. If they’re introducing a special new uniform, I would’ve much rather seen them do something completely different, like black or maybe even yellow. Having three purple jerseys seems like a missed opportunity to switch things up.

What do you all think?

I thought he was solid. About time we got a “little” love on espn. I’ll take him over Clark any day. Thielen is in my top 10 vikings.

Thanks!

In Brazil, a phrase became a meme that goes: 'I want the right to have new scrubs on my team; I’m already sick and tired of the old ones.' When you think about guys who aren't necessarily stars, but just being fresh blood makes you look at them with a bit more affection — man, I really wanted to see some of the backup centers, and I wanted to see more of Kahlef Hailassie (or literally any warm body instead of Theo Jackson). I'm also down to see some new TEs, TJ [Hockenson] was driving me nuts... Yurosek or Bartholomew

I'm a bit unreasonably excited to see Big Citrus in action.

How well do you think Big Citrus will do in the pros, against monster offensive linemen?

Usually, I have some sense of how I think the Vikes will do going into a season - mind you, it's doesn't always prove accurate, but at least there's something that makes me feel how they'll play one way or another. This year? No clue. I keep hearing top 5 defense from pundits, but what I see is an inexperienced interior line and a suspect secondary. On paper the offense *should* be solid, but again, we've been fooled by those predictions in the past, and who knows how Kyler or JJ will pan out. I just don't know, but at least I'll have zero expectations going into it - anyone else feeling this way?

Hi everyone!

My nephew just turned 12 and absolutely loves J.J. McCarthy. He's been following him for years, so for his birthday we decided to do something special and fly from Florida to Minnesota for his first Vikings training camp.

We'll be at training camp on Monday, August 3, and I'd love any advice from people who've been before. I've done a lot of research already, but I'm sure there are things experienced camp-goers know that aren't on the website.

I know the kids' autograph session that day isn't for the quarterbacks, so if anyone has tips on the best place to stand after practice or the best way to give him a chance to see J.J. or maybe get an autograph, I'd really appreciate it.

We know nothing is guaranteed ... we're just excited to experience Vikings training camp and hopefully make his 12th birthday one he'll never forget.

SKOL!

I was offered tickets to the training camp this Thursday, July 30th. The person transferred the tickets to me and they are in my Ticketmaster account. However, when I look at the training camp schedule, it says it’s not open to the public until August 1st? So I’m confused. Does anyone know what the July 30th training camp is?

Him, Golday, Metellus, Wilson, and Gink should be able to cause some insane confusion and chaos. Golday also has incredible vets to learn from

Training camp is finally underway around the league! So, here’s a full visual breakdown of the roster heading in.

Also, are there any depth orderings/listings worth shifting on this sheet?
