Vikings to deviate from conventional timeline by opting for J.J. McCarthy over Sam Darnold
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell is allowing rookie J.J. McCarthy to compete with veteran Sam Darnold for the starting quarterback job this summer. However, O’Connell has made it clear that McCarthy’s timetable to start is open-ended, and he is prepared to sit McCarthy through the fall to allow for his development. While fans may expect Darnold to get the nod for the Week 1 game, O’Connell is focused on making the best decision for the team’s overall interests. The coaching staff is prioritizing McCarthy’s development and may use the Week 6 bye to prepare him for a potential start in Week 7.
