## Resource

Matthew Coller attempts a data-driven approach to figuring out what each of the Minnesota Vikings' quarterbacks have to do in terms of winning the starting job for 2026 and for 2027. Is it exactly the same for both or different? Does McCarthy have to be better in camp? Could his bar be lower in the season to be a long-term option?
