When the Minnesota Vikings signed quarterback Kyler Murray this offseason, most took that as a signal to J.J. McCarthy that his time as the starter was over.
Given that McCarthy only had one season to show what he could do, it tells us that the Vikings don't want to wait around for him to develop - they want to win now.
So, Murray comes in, and for most, he's the starter with J.J. backing him up, simply because that move makes the most sense.
But as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports, the Vikings don't view it that way.
"They envision it being a true competition: Kyler Murray versus J.J. McCarthy," Pelissero said on The Rich Eisen Show. "And both these guys are going to go into this believing they're gonna win this job. I don't know frankly how friendly that quarterback room is going to be. It's going to be a very competitive quarterback room.
"From everything that I've understood, it is truly wide open, they're keeping an open mind as a coaching staff."
Kyler Murray's signing suggests that J.J. McCarthy will transition to a backup role, as the Vikings aim for immediate success.
J.J. McCarthy had only one season to demonstrate his capabilities as the starting quarterback for the Vikings.
The Vikings signed Kyler Murray to expedite their path to victory, indicating a desire for immediate results rather than long-term development.

Well, according to Pelissero, that is absolutely the case.
While there is still a thought that the job is Murray's to lose, because in a head-to-head quarterback battle, Kyler is the one who "should" be winning it, right?
But the Vikings, in stating that it's a true competition, give McCarthy confidence that the race isn't run yet and that he still has a chance. While most think that isn't the case, as long as J.J. believes that, that's all that matters.
It will be an old-fashioned "see who is better" in Minnesota this offseason as Kevin O'Connell's offense needs a proper starting quarterback.
And who that will be, at least right now, isn't set in stone.
