ESPN NFL analysts says J.J. McCarthy is no longer the Vikings starter

Many NFL analysts think that when the Minnesota Vikings signed Kyler Murray, there would be an open QB competition between Murray and current Vikings starter J. J. McCarthy.

But some think the quarterback competition ended when Murray was signed, and the real competition may be for the backup position behind him. At least that’s what ESPN’s Bill Barnwell thinks. “J.

J. McCarthy, with this signing of Carson Wentz, is competing for the backup job,” he said. I don't know if J.

J. McCarthy is even the right option to be the number 2 guy. ” That may have been confirmed when the Vikings re-signed Carson Wentz, who was McCarthy’s backup last year.
