"JJ McCarthy couldn't do in Madden playing as Kyler what Kyler has done on the field."

That's not true. I'm sure JJ can run out of bounds short of the first down marker, run around like a scared chicken, go in two full circles and then intentionally ground the ball, and, let's not forget, go fetal. I'm sure he's up for those kinds of challenges.

A hotdog isn’t complete unless it’s got a big slice of dill pickle along side of it some diced onion mayonnaise on the bun, mayo, and mustard on top…. Perfection as long as it’s all beef. :)

My dad is a Raiders fan and lives in Las Vegas. That Cards vs. Raiders game is the only home game he has been to - and he had to watch his team get beat by Kyler. LOL

When he was at his best, his feet were magical too watch. That game was peak Kyler. Too bad it was in spurts and became less common.

You can pause the game and quit in Madden, but you can't in real life, but Kyler does it anyway.

That was a fantastic play. And he's had a lot more. That's why everyone got so frustrated with all the WTH was that plays. He could be soooo good and then do stupid. The biggest frustration was he never improved year after year. He was still running out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage when he could just toss the ball out of bounds. I think he's very talented, hope he does good in Minni. I just feel his height will let him down there too. Throwing over, around players 5-7" taller is just too much to overcome, IMO

And there it is. Yes, the Raiders game play was magical. He had other magical moments. Weigh those against the dumb ish plays and the WTF plays and the scales are grossly uneven.

FWIW it came across my FB feed today and my nephew who's a Vikings fan, and doesn't like Kyler, said it too. The claim is players for the most part think Kyler is going to start and they're getting mad at O'Connell for not just naming him the starter. Part of the issue is they go back and forth with Kyler and JJ with the 1's and it's impacting the offense they can't get into a good rhythm because the QB keeps rotating. Anybody who has ever seen a team try to play 2 QB's has seen this and that's what Vikings observers are saying, by splitting their reps it's hurting both of them and the team.

Nephew doesn't like Kyler but says he thinks it's obvious he's better than JJ so they should just make him the starter and be done with it.

Everything I read is the same, the only edge JJ has is he's been in the system for more than 2 full seasons now either playing or learning while hurt. Kyler has a few weeks under his belt so there are mistakes he makes because he doesn't know the system yet. I saw something 2 days ago that said assuming Kyler is the guy and plays the whole year(big assumption with his injury history) Jordan Addison is going to be a breakout star. They worked out together after Kyler signed and they apparently have really good chemistry.

Pumpin him as usual on NFLN..seen this dance before. He'll throw to Jefferson like a lot. Fantasy dudes, get Jefferson. But he'll just throw mostly to him, then stare down receivers. He'll street ball it. He's who he is.

None of this is true, BIM found an obscure poster with 9 followers on X that says the players hate Kyler and that JJ is crushing him in camp. Tell your nephew to check out BIM posts

If I wanted some insider news, I'd ask my buddy who lives in White Bear Lake and lives and breathes Minnesota sports like the Vikings, the Golden Gophers, the Twins, the Wild, etc. Known him for over 33 years, he was my best man at my wedding and I was his. We drove from AZ to MN for his wedding in Eden Prairie. He isn't big on social media or anything though. He lives about 18 miles from U.S. Bank Stadium. You'd likely just dismiss him as part of the meth-mouth brigade or something though, so why bother.

One of my FB reels now says that the big question currently is will JJ lose the backup job to Wentz, not will he win the starting job. It says if the path continues the way the last 4 days of camp went, JJ won't even be the backup.

I actually think assuming Kyler wins the job, Wentz will be the backup.

If JJ was good enough to rely upon as the backup to a QB with a recent history if injury, Kyler, he would beat out Kyler in the first place.

Can we get to tomorrow night already so I can watch the insurance salesmen play

Carson Wentz is a world renowned divisive locker room guy. I assume JJ is pretty good in that regard.
