What’s Going on Here?

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - AUGUST 16: Head coach Kevin O'Connell of the Minnesota Vikings looks on against the New England Patriots in the third quarter during the NFL Preseason 2025 game between New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings at U. S. Bank Stadium on August 16, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Then, the Vikings unexpectedly re-signed Carson Wentz out of nowhere.

Now I don’t know what the heck is going on. Well, a bit more than usual for me, anyway. Let’s go over the options, shall we?

It’s the Kyler Murray Show: Like those before it, featuring stars such as Jim McMahon, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Jeff George, Brett Favre, Sam Bradford, Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold, and others, it’s a reboot. Those had varying levels of success. Heck, some even achieved an impressive number here and there.
