VIKINGS

Do the Vikings need to rush and sign a backup quarterback?

Honestly it doesn't really matter too much who the backup quarterback is. If your starter goes down, your season does as well. Yes Minnesota Viking fans will point out that Randall Cunningham led the 1998 Vikings to a 15-1 record, Case Keenum led the 2017 Vikings to a 13-3 record, and Sam Darnold led the 2024 Vikings to a 14-3 record. All three of those quarterbacks were backups. They did have good years, but none of them made it to the superbowl. 

Yes, Nick Foles and Kurt Warner are the famous examples of having a quality backup can still lead to superbowl victories, but those are the exceptions. 

Vikings have built a solid roster around JJ McCarthy. He has a good offensive line and play makers to get the ball to. The Vikings should be just fine with Kevin O'Connell calling the plays for the offense and Brian Flores calling plays for the defense.
