Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here and joining me on the show, that franchise guy, Marcus Whitman.

Marcus, we used to do a lot of podcasting together.

Then you moved and now you're back.

So I feel that it's important that we begin podcasting together, then you moved and now you're back. So I feel that it's important that we

begin podcasting together again. Marcus, I'm very happy if people are not familiar with your

channel. It is fantastic. Some of the best football analysis out there. So make sure you go check out

that franchise guy. And as we are sitting here on the eve of training camp, some teams just getting

checked in and starting, we got to take a look at the storylines of the NFC North Division.

And tell me if you agree, Marcus, I think it's the best division in all of the national

football league. Yeah, I've been having this discussion with a few people throughout

the offseason, as we are always looking for things to discuss in the dog days of July.

But I think certainly, you know, it doesn't have the floor that some other divisions have.

Like the AFC West might be a little more top heavy,

arguably. But, you know, I think the Raiders probably wouldn't be ranked higher than anybody

would put the Bears, for example. And then, yeah, I mean, I agree. I think it is, it is the best

overall division in, in, in the league. So i want to go through each team and what we're

going to learn about these teams during training camp and how we're going to feel about them

coming out of camp one way or the other so why don't we begin with uh since you're on viking's turf

here marcus and not packers turf Turf will begin with the Minnesota Vikings.

I think there's a quarterback situation that is worth discussing.

And I actually don't know your opinion on the Vikings decision to move on from Sam

Darnold, their decision not to sign Aaron Rogers, and to hand over this Ferrari of a football team to J.J. McCarthy.
