I think Mariota would have the best personality profile of those Top-10 names. Even though he seems to be more the sandy beaches kind of guy, so he would have to adapt a bit.

Cooper rush cooked us a couple years ago and won the game against us w a niice throw to back of end zone. I member

[michaelfredrickson]

Cooper rush, case keenum, Jamis winston. All are good qbs who are also Good character guys for the team.

[fullbackdive]

I really like Joe Milton, the Pats want to move him. He’s got a big arm, all the athleticism, has no pressure to start, can just sit and learn under this staff then if he has to play I think he can win games.

[Jockmo]

Mariota looked good in minimal reps last year. That's my vote

[JRA]

KOC Head coach/Play caller/QB2. pretty sure he is good for 4-5 snaps a game.

[albertdehaven]

Minshew, lock, and my dark horse keenem be a nice one

[danskersick]

Andy.... You didn't mention KURT Cousins. Perfect situation. He gets cut, Atlanta pays his huge salary to hold a clipboard for the Vikes. It could work.

[steveblyth]

What about Mariota? He is a good attitude/team guy that would be fine with QB2 defined. He is still pretty young and can throw and run well.

[isaacackley]

At this point it’s Minshew, kupp, Rasul, Simmons

[anthonyleydens]

Rush, Winston, trey lance, Taylor heinicke would all be good back ups

[achilleseliopoulos]

Minshew could be the best ball distributor, especially now with the new o-line

[BulletDrop]

I like Trey lance and his triple threat combo. Jones if he can fit into the scheme and last but not least Heinicke. Heinicke should a lot of promise in preseason when we had him

[nils]

Nothing fancy and stupid like Rodgers. There are still many experienced proven backups out there

[DakotaGolf]

Bring in Joe Flacco as the veteran back up and trade for Joe Milton

[MidnightSpecial]

Kind of crazy how the team went from brimming at the seams with QB's last year to now needing a QB 2, and maybe 3.

[Rider-nbts]

These options all are terrible, with maybe Cooper. I’d rather Old man Flacco, especially with our new OL, our weapons, and his experience for JJ yes please, oh and he can still huck it

[FreedomCosts]

I’d like to see Trey lance and see what he can do this preseason with KOC in his ear. But JJ is my QB1 all day. As long as we don’t bite on Aaron rodgers and the soap opera he’d bring. Aaron Rodgers would not be a good pick up for JJ McCarthy. And these analysis saying Rodgers for the Vikings clearly have no idea what they’re talking about and is probably a big reason why half of them are all X coaches and aren’t coaching in the nfl anymore. Because they would pick up Rodgers and ruin everything. JJ McCarthy should be the hands down QB1 for the Vikings this year. Anyone that thinks differently doesn’t know a thing

[masonmichaels]

Here me out. Give me Jameis and joeF for backup2 and backup3. League minimum for both, surround jj with smart and great vibes😎

[CarkusYT-rh]

We need milton or lance as our developmental guy
