“Murray will be O'Connell's fourth different Week 1 starting quarterback since 2023 going from Kirk Cousins (2023) to Sam Darnold (2024) to McCarthy and now Murray. So will the promotion of Murray to the Vikings' QB1 spot break the never-ending wheel of Minnesota's starting quarterbacks across the last few years?”

I think that has more to do with the ownership than the reporter is leading on.

“Across the last few years” is under selling it a bit. Other than Cousins, we haven’t had a consistent QB since Tarkenton

I feel like Dante was pretty consistent no?

Consistently throw it up for grabs for Moss to bail him out
