On Wednesday, the Minnesota Vikings made their quarterback decision, naming Kyler Murray the starting quarterback over J.J. McCarthy....

"We're all kind of encouraged about where he's at."

“Learning every single day"

"I want him to be just as confident as I am of him."

"he reminds me of Josh Allen when I was with him in Buffalo, coming into his own"

“He has a gravitational pull as a leader."

"I know I'm ready to start."

“Now it’s just a matter of applying it with teammates and with detail."

"he was free to have some real dialogue about what his future may look like."

"J.J. McCarthy would have been a top -- if not the top -- quarterback prospect in the draft."
