The Minnesota Vikings training camp has been removed exactly a month and the club starts to put the triques on a schedule of 53 people in Eagan.
CBS Sports found a red flag for the Vikings on the way to 2025 and doubted a place on the selection. It is also in the heads of many national experts.
General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has used in recent months out of season to build a selection worthy of super bowl-storage, a welcome appearance after Minnesota had manufactured a one-and-off play-off in January.
And according to CBS SportThe Vikings are one of the top 10 Super Bowl opportunities in the competition, but have a red flag -the Quarterback situation.
CBS Sports Names Red Flag for Vikings
Cody Benjamin Bij CBS Sport Identify 10 Super Bowl opportunities this week and found something wrong with each.
For Minnesota, he wrote“Quarterback illness. It is rare that you find a team that is so equipped for a deep play-off run without a bite of certainty under the middle. JJ McCarthy can have the full support of a winning staff led by Kevin O’Connell, whose main power is besides his belt.
“Not only confronted with a difficult schedule, but also inflated expectations of fans who watched Sam Darnold a year ago, he at least led the weapons and employees to help his debut.”
All in all, Benjamin’s observation is honest.
The Vikings are a competition, but with a red flag, says National Media
There is comfort to know that the purple team is unfortunately a super bowl -competitor.
However, Minnesota mentioned a ‘competition’,
The sweet part? Benjamin searched the competition for 10 Super Bowl opportunities and the purple team made the cut. Minnesota almost never finds admission to the presidential lists of legitimate contenders, so to have a “red flag” as a top 10 candidate is in fact a compliment.
It is Elite Company.
Benjamin mentioned his criteria: “Advaat is part of the championship trip, and some of the best projected contenders of the competition for 2025 have their considerable part of potential weaknesses. But what exactly are those weaknesses? And how urgent could they be?”
So yes – Minnesota is there with the big boys such as the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles this summer.
Naturally There is QB uncertainty
Let’s not forget that Benjamin’s reflections are faltering Captain clear territory.
Minnesota has chosen to promote JJ McCarthy out of season this season, so that Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Nick Mullens can leave for new teams via a free desk. Adofo-Mensah also said “no thanks” to the future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, who suggested a one-year relationship, so that the team of him and O’Connell could chase a super bowl.
Minnesota starts willing to the unknown and throws caution for the wind and bets on McCarthy’s fast maturation this season. Otherwise Adofo-Mensah would “have played it safely” by signing Darnold or Jones again.
These Vikings have signed up for the “Quarterback, Unwertness” by Benjamin and embrace it. That is why they cut Kirk Cousins loose 15 months ago and they set up McCarthy in the first place. The team is ready for this moment.
The rest of the company is fine
The refreshing part? The Quarterback section of the grid can be the only place with a red flag. Some fans have asked the club to add a starting cornerback, but apart from the youth of McCarthy and Minnesota who bet it all on Isaiah Rodgers, a newcomer with a free agent Cornerback, is the depth card in fantastic form.
A top 2 defense from last year, his leader, Brian Flores, has not fundamentally changed or lost. The attacking game makers are the same, with additions to run back Jordan Mason and Rookie Wideout Tai Felton.
And the coaching staff will contain widespread continuity.
McCarthy starts his career in a fantastic setting, with virtually no debates, even from the most skeptical fans.
Red flags for the Lions, Packers
Benjamin also mentioned the Lions and Packers Super Bowl opportunities.
He noted on the red flag of the Packers: “Depth and durability. It was one thing for Jordan Love to combat multiple injuries in 2024; it was another for the Quarterback to lose his entire receiving corps to different disorders by the end of the year.”
“The Packers Did Their Best to Bolster Their Depth This Offseason, Spending Not One But Two Early Draft Picks On Receiver Help, But At The End Of The Day, Matt Lafleur Needs His Arsenal To Stay On The Field to Ensure His Stady Rate of Postseasse SasseasseSon Hobbs Will Be Tasked with Filling the Shoes of the Aleno-SOF-BANGED-UP Jaire Alexander. ”
And for Detroit: “Staffing shakeps. If it was up to Dan Campbell, the lions probably wouldy just run it back on the coaching staff. Instead, The Beloved Leader is Set to Enter 2025 Without Two or his Right-hand Men All-Stroitse Playstarse Playse and Stroese and Strosese Playstarse and Stroese, and Strosese; and Stroisse, and-Stroisse, and-Stroisse, and Stroisse, and Stroisse, and Stroisse; and Stroisse; andstarse; Glenn, The Rah-Rah Spokesman for the Defense;
“The fiery touch of Campbell is still as clear as the enviable skills talent of the lions. But the intertwining of such a dramatic shift in sidelines is easier said than done. Just ask the Eagles of 2023.”
The Chicago Bears were not included on the list of super bowl opportunities. Otherwise three NFC North teams walked into the CBS Sports Top 10 – pretty wild.
