• Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Is JJ McCarthy Ahead Of The Curve?

Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images He has spent a year learning the offense! I am a firm believer in giving a young QB at least two years of starts (I would do three years if I am running things) before attempting to make a decision on their long term prospects with the team. Young QBs need time and will make mistakes like all QBs do. Patience is the key. The hopes are obviously very hi...2025

• The Vikings’ Roster Puzzle: Who Makes the Cut?

Tyler Forness projects Darrisaw, O’Neill, Skule, and Rouse at tackle; Fries, Kelly, Jackson, Brandel, Jurgens inside. Rouse risks being cut if Logan Brown outshines him, as Rouse struggles laterally.
