The decision is in! Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell announced that Kyler Murray will be the Vikings starting quarterback moving forward.
In a press conference this afternoon, O’Connell made the announcement, praising both QB’s for their level of competition. However, O’Connell mentioned Murray’s experience and skill as being the deciding factor in which gave him the starting role.
This does not come as much of a surprise to Vikings fans who mostly thought that it would be Murray who would be taking the snaps with the first stringers. Although it does raise another question, will the Vikings ever get any longevity or use out of their first round draft pick in JJ McCarthy. That still remains to be seen.
The Vikings will open up their preseason schedule on Saturday in New York versus the Giants.
