KOC really has created something with this competition. I wonder if it is going to work out but I can already see the excuses from either side about the QB they want not getting all the reps. Kyler Murray alluded to not getting all the reps in his interview following the practice yesterday. Yes, KOC created something alright. I am not sure it is something he envisioned though.
I do not think it matters over the rest of this minicamp but heading into training camp he has to make a decision. That way, whomever he declares the first string QB will be getting all the reps with the ones. I could be wrong but I think it is best for the team and offense if KOC does this which I believe he will.
After he does it though, will there be any requests for a trade? I doubt it but it will be something to watch. Heh, I could make a clickbait article about this very thing. I am certain there will be one up shortly from some other site.
I know you filthy animals don’t like clickbait articles but it is tough to entertain you.
Your Disclaimers.
A little note about links. I do not write these and they are what pops up when I google “Vikings news”. I usually post most of the links and unfortunately there are a lot of stories about the QB situation.
Also, I am not a writer. I am just a hipster doofus. I only do a cursory glance for typos or misspelled words. I hope that does not offend some of you to the point where you cannot even talk about football after pointing out the errors. That is rather sad IMO.
Quarterbacks Valuing Every Rep of Vikings Minicamp

Each of the Vikings quarterbacks spoke with Twin Cities media members following Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice, during which snaps were shared between the pair (minus a few for Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer).
McCarthy and Murray continue to be in competition with one another for Minnesota’s starting QB spot — but neither is fixated on that aspect of the situation. As they’ve both said previously, controlling what they can is paramount.
“I’m only focused on that next rep and whatever’s in front of me to help improve that next rep,” McCarthy said. “I’ve been walking it and talking it, and I’m going to continue to do that.
“It feels the same every day,” he later added. “I mean, even last year — I’m just competing with myself to be the best kind of person I can for this team, the best kind of quarterback, and at the end of the day, the more we do that … rising tides lift all ships, and we’ll be in a good spot by that.”
Murray opened Tuesday’s session with the first team during 7-on-7 drills before McCarthy followed with four reps with the second group.
