Simone Biles & Jonathan Owens Move to Indy: Welcome to the Colts!

0:00For the NFL, it's March 19th, and here's what's going on. The Minnesota Vikings are promoting a quarterback competition this spring between veteran Kyler Murray and rookie JJ McCarthy. Team leaders want everyone to buy into a real battle for the starting job, but most observers see Murray as the clear favorite to lead the offense. McCarthy had a rough rookie season, finishing near the bottom of the league and passing yards per game at 31st, adjusted yards per attempt at. 33rd, and quarterback rating behind even Joe Flacco. His bad throw rate ranked second worst, and his on target percentage was dead last. Murray, on the other hand, boasts two pro-bowl nods and came into the league as the number one overall pick. Even in this tougher years, his play level out shines when McCarthy showed across his full season. Fans and analysts doubt McCarthy can make the massive jump needed to overtake Murray, especially since he was just the fifth quarterback taken in the operating. 2024 draft at number 10 overall.

If Murray gets most of the reps, it signals he's the guy, matching why they brought him aboard in the first place. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
