And the Hey everybody welcome to a very special episode of purple designer. This is our NFC North Future special thing that we didn't name

before we went live. Matthew Collar with you as always and Tyler Dunn from

Go Long today as you can see the very attractive hoodie there you're wearing Tyler.

It has been a very very entertaining off season for some of us who have reported in depth about the Packers quarterback situation

so we're gonna touch on that quite a bit. Bears, Lions, Vikings future at quarterback.

We are going to discuss it all over the next hour or so

feel free to jump into the conversation with your comments and everything else

as we always do on the channel. But great to be with you you Tyler thanks so much for doing this man

Hell yeah it's always great to talk a little NFC north with you Matthew

collar it's uh I feel like we were just sitting out there and egan right at that brewery,

BSing about the bikes, the Packers and man time flies so it's good to be here.

It is really funny because when we were having that conversation, I remember it well, and we were talking about just what the Vikings were going to be and what you were buying majorly into was the culture of Kevin O'Connell and Koesi Daffelmenta and me being hardened and broken inside about covering sports. I was like, I don't know, man, we'll see, we'll see. And I have to say say even though last season you can look at point differential

You could say a lot of things went their way and luck and so forth and we have talked about that on the show

The one thing that was enduring and very much true was the culture that they created and normally I wouldn't want to carry that water and say that with definitively by not being in the locker room like as a player or working in the building.

But the NFLPA survey, I mean those guys were ruthless to some of the other teams and it really said it all about what they were able to create.

So I think that you are exactly right in pinpointing that part of it.

Did that make them a Super Bowl champion? No, it did not, But at least they know that they have their quarterback and they have their culture that they could go forward with.

I mean, we've rehashed the horror show that was Mike Zimmer's Minnesota Vikings, you know, many times over so we probably don't need to you know drag Viking fans into that hell this hour, but it was really really. And I don't have that intimate, local beat knowledge of the team.

We were just texting each other about this the other day.

But I do have that ability to kind of compare this team versus that team kind of parachute in and get a quick sense for how things operate like with this GM, this coach, do players like it here? Do they hate it here?

And what's the atmosphere?

And you could just sense that 180.
