JJ McCarthy's honest take on first day of practice will fire up Vikings fans

arterThe Minnesota Vikings are going to have a new look on offense this year, and that was assured the moment the team decided that it didn't want to bring Kirk Cousins back as the QB1. Once Cousins signed with the Atlanta Falcons, the Vikings signed Sam Darnold to serve as the team's stand-in quarterback.

McCarthy to earn the starting quarterback position before he is inserted into the lineup. The quarterback has not done that yet, but he had his first day competing on the practice field with the Vikings , and it appeared to be a success. McCarthy
