Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar here.

And joining me on the show for the Minnesota Star Tribune, Ben Gessling.

And we have a lot to talk about.

We got some crystal ball to look into for sure.

And also want to talk about some classic games that the ball to look into for sure and also want to talk about

some classic games that the two of us have covered down in Lambo as we get to prepare to

dodge deer on the way from Minnesota over to Wisconsin. Mr. Gessling, what do you want to start?

QB guru apologies or throwing techniques or I mean it's we're we're at that portion of the

process I guess when the team is four and six that all the sudden weird stuff seems to pop up but

how are we doing? Yeah, we're doing all right. It's this seems to be life of the young quarterback. And

and yes, the

Jay J.J. McCarthy's QB coach getting into it with Chris Carter and then apologizing to him

a day or so later was not necessarily something I had on my bingo card for this season. But yeah,

this is probably a reminder that you're going to go through a lot of

ups and downs and weird turns with a young quarterback.

It's funny because Vikings fans in general have gone through this so rarely.

A team has only drafted like four or five quarterbacks in the first round in its history.

And the last three times we did this, um, four or five quarterbacks in the first round in its history.

And the last three times we did this, it's been two knee injuries that basically ended the whole thing, Teddy Bridgewater and Dante Culpepper.

And then in between those two is Christian Ponder.

So I understand the level of trauma that people are coming into this with, but like,

everybody probably just needs to take a deep breath because it's not going to be smooth all
