Former Vikings first-round pick likes either outcome of QB battle
A former Vikings tight end is sharing his thoughts on how the team is handling the quarterback situation.
The situation with the Minnesota Vikings and their quarterback position has been fluid over the last two seasons. One of the things that has made it so fluid is the one-year deals they have been signing quarterbacks to as part of a bridge system, while also waiting for rookie J. J.
McCarthy to emerge as their future. Because of their situation, everyone is adding their two cents to what they think will unfold and who will emerge from the situation. The latest person to do this is tight end Kyle Rudolph, a former tight end for Minnesota.
He recently spoke about it all with Forbes' DJ Siddiqi and explained why it is "interesting" at the very least, they made the move they did with Kyler Murray. Rudolph explained, "I think you can look around at a number of guys that are being released, or have been released to Kyler Murray, guys like that that are high draft picks, much like Sam Darnold. Didn’t live up to the expectations of a top five draft pick, could revive their career with Kevin O’Connell, much like Sam did.
If you're saying maybe J. J. is not our guy and we want to go all in, we have a roster to win right now.
