The Minnesota Vikings faced a tough quarterback decision heading into 2026, with JJ McCarthy

and Kyler Murray both needing to prove.

Themselves, only one can claim the starting spot, sparking debate among NFL insiders.

McCarthy had a rough second season in the league.

After missing his entire rookie year with a knee injury, he started just 10 games, throwing

12 interceptions and taking 27 sacks while, dealing with more injuries.

Murray comes with his own challenges too.

The former number one overall pick also sat out significant time last season due to injuries,

so health remains a big question for both quarterbacks.

ESPN's Dan Graziano recently floated the idea that McCarthy might never start again

for the Vikings.

He wonders if that's an overreaction given the young quarterback struggles.

Still, the Vikings are ready to abandon McCarthy just yet.

They hope Murray's presence pushes him to improve and helps turn things around.
