Vikings fans are up their necks in quarterback discussions this offseason, and we are just getting into February. Sam Darnold’s emergence, along with J.J. McCarthy’s injury, created a perfect storm of chaos for the Vikings.
Despite all the chaos, one NFL insider is pointing out some news that Vikings fans may be excited to hear.
Albert Breer of Monday Morning Quarterback was on The Rich Eisen Show this week during his Super Bowl coverage and shared an update on the young quarterback. Breer shared that McCarthy is “ahead of schedule” and able to do “just about everything.”
Breer went on to explain, “He’s going to have a full offseason. So he’s not going to be limited by anything this offseason… they’d be comfortable with him as the starting QB in 2025.”
Darnold is set to become a free agent, and there have been discussions about the team placing the franchise tag on him or letting him walk. Regardless of their move, Darnold seems poised for being a security blanket for the team rather than a starter in 2025.
