## Resource

The Vikings’ QB battle is heating up—but reps are the real issue. Coach O’Connell wants both Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy to compete, but splitting first-team reps risks leaving the eventual starter underprepared for Week 1 against the Packers. Murray’s already behind compared to past starters, while McCarthy’s physical growth doesn’t yet translate to accuracy or decision-making. The team’s dilemma? Let the competition play out—or risk a sluggish start by not giving the starter enough time to master the playbook. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
