ORIGINAL: Todd M I'm skeptical but at least a little intrigued. Yeah skeptical but intrigued is a good way to put it. I expect him to look like one of those little shriner cars in a parade, with the dude’s head sticking out the top, weaving in and out of the other little shriner cars. Who knows. Maybe he’ll force KOC into changing up his play calling - or disregard it at times in a positive way - to make it actually work better. All this still comes down to crunchtime and playoff relevance … and Murray hasnt looked particularly strong in the nfl in that regard. Not that I’ve watched him a lot. 0-1 in playoff games. 13 come from behind wins (right in between Darnold’s 14 and D Jones’ 12) is something not nothing. I’m skeptical but nobody knows how this is one year rental is going to work, most of all me. We couldn't sign him for over one year or we would have had to pay some of his salary. No tag means he is betting on himself to get a new contract----if he plays really well it could still be with the Vikes. Everybody understands that. But, but, but, Given what just happened with Jones and Darnold, and that Murray is already scoping out potential buyers in 2027 ... the 'if he plays really well it could still be with the Vikes' is far from given (nice use of the neuter 'it' by the way). The bottom line for me, not for everybody, is that the one year has big advantages for our situation right now ... but not necessarily if Murray kills it. (which I actually expect on certain plays and maybe for stretches of games but overall???) Both Murray and KOC teams have shown a propensity for regular season success and playoff contention nincompoopness. Looking forward to how it plays out.
