The Minnesota Vikings rank No. 8 on CBS' list of the worst quarterback rooms for the 2026 NFL season, featuring J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Kyler Murray. Despite Murray's Pro Bowl history, his recent performance has raised concerns.
While it takes more than just a star quarterback to consistently chase and win championships in the NFL, poor play at the position is one surefire way to morph into a bad or mediocre football team quickly.
According to CBS, one of the Detroit Lions' top rivals is in that boat. The Minnesota Vikings were ranked No. 8 in CBS' list of the top 10 worst quarterback rooms entering the 2026 NFL season.
That group includes J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, Max Brosmer and former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who signed a 1-year, $1.3 million contract with the Vikings.
One would think the Minnesota Vikings' signing of two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray would keep them off this list, but that's not the case. Murray earned his Pro Bowl selections in 2020 and 2021. That's a lifetime ago in NFL years. From 2022 to 2025, Murray missed 30 of his possible 68 games. In the five games Murray played for the Cardinals in 2025, he averaged a career low 227.0 total yards per game.
Recent first-round pick J.J. McCarthy was the worst quarterback in the NFL in 2025, which sparked the signing of Murray. McCarthy's performance was simply incredible considering the offensive ecosystem under 2024 Coach of the Year Kevin O'Connell. Despite an electrifying supporting cast, McCarthy ranked dead last in the league in completion percentage (57.6%), touchdown-to-interception ratio (11-12), and passer rating (72.6).
The Vikings are ranked among the worst due to poor performances from J.J. McCarthy and concerns about Kyler Murray's recent injury history and form.
In 2025, J.J. McCarthy was the worst quarterback in the NFL, ranking last in completion percentage, touchdown-to-interception ratio, and passer rating.
Kyler Murray's signing was intended to improve the Vikings' QB situation, but his recent struggles and injuries have led to skepticism about his impact.

Murray could rediscover his early career form with Minnesota. Murray is one of just four players in NFL history with 20,000-plus passing yards (20,460) and 30-plus rushing touchdowns (32) through his first seven seasons, joining Josh Allen, Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson. - Garrett Podell, CBS
The Vikings just signed wide receiver Jauan Jennings to pair with superstar Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Minnesota still has tight end T.J. Hockenson, who Lions fans know well.
There's good weapons to work with, but McCarthy was a mess in 2025. Maybe Murray can rediscover some of his early-career magic in Minnesota, but CBS isn't banking on that just yet. CBS did pick Murray as its expected Week 1 starter for the Vikings.
Even with the Vikings' dicey quarterback situation in 2025, the Lions were swept by Minnesota. Detroit dropped the season's first meeting at Ford Field, 27-24. And then the Vikings morphed into the Grinch on Christmas.
Minnesota forced six Detroit turnovers en route to a 23-10 Christmas Day win over the Lions. Thanks to that rash of takeaways, the Vikings won in a game where Brosmer passed for just 51 yards.
