00:00There should be no quarterback battle in Minnesota.
00:04And today, Kevin O'Connell talking to the press,
00:07Kevin O'Connell told the gathered news media
00:10at Minnesota Vikings training camp
00:12that J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray
00:15are going to split the reps with the first team.
00:18That makes no sense.
00:20Kevin O'Connell is a quarterback whisperer.
00:23Quarterbacks have their careers saved by Kevin O'Connell.
00:26Look at Sam Darnold, look at Daniel Jones,
00:29look at what he's able to do
00:30when he gets the past or not years ago.
00:32I think the world of Kevin O'Connell.
00:35J.J. McCarthy can't play.
00:37Why are you messing around with J.J. McCarthy?
00:40And I'm not one of those who's one of those, you know,
00:43in the media who's all Kyler Murray is the next this, next that.
00:46I didn't like when the Cardinals took him over Nick Bosa.
00:49And I was right and they were wrong.
00:51But Kyler Murray on a one-year deal,
00:54on a proven situation where everyone needs each other,
00:57and he's a terrific athlete and a great thrower of the football,
01:01let him get all the reps of the first team.
01:03You know what you have with J.J. McCarthy?
01:05It's not good.
01:06Kyler Murray, let's see what he can do.
01:08Let's see if he can develop a rapport with Justin Jefferson,
01:10who I believe is still the best wide receiver
01:12in the National Football League.
01:14I really think that this should not be a quarterback battle.
01:17It should be Kyler Murray's football team.
01:21Why are you still messing around with J.J. McCarthy?
01:24Makes absolutely no sense.
01:26I love my guy, Kevin O'Connell.
01:27I think he made a huge mistake splitting the reps here
01:30with McCarthy and Murray.
