Nightcap Hour 2: Shannon PREDICTS Vikings to TRADE JJ McCarthy + Ty Simpson SHINES in Rams Preseason + Is this FINALLY Lamar Jackson’s YEAR?! + MAKE or BREAK Season for Keon Coleman

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
The Vikings defeated the Giants, 13-10. Kyle Murray kept the chains moving, only played one drive. JJ McCarthy, four for seven, 34 yards on the sack. First couple of drives didn't look that good. Carson Wentz came in, nine to 14, 81 yards.
I ain't finna hold you. It's gonna be hard for JJ McCarthy to stay on his roster.
I think there's a greater chance they try and trade him. Me personally, Carson, cause you won't, Ochocinco, the number one thing I'm looking for.

**Chad Johnson** (0:35)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:35)
Kyle Murray, I believe Kyle Murray is their starting quarterback. They want to go with Kyle Murray.

**Chad Johnson** (0:39)
Yes.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:39)
If my starter goes down, who do I believe give me the best chance to keep this thing afloat until Kyle gets back? You believe it's JJ McCarthy or you believe it's Carson Wentz?

**Chad Johnson** (0:51)
Probably Carson Wentz, but I don't see them moving on from someone that was picked so high, what, only what, two years ago, if I'm not mistaken.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:59)
Man, please. Boy, they moved on from Sam Darnal. Boy, they moved on from, they moved on from Zach, Zach, your guy, Zach Wilson. Yeah.
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (1:08)
But year three, I just don't see it.

**Odell Beckham Jr.** (1:11)
Because I can see it.

**Chad Johnson** (1:13)
Kyle Murray came in on what, huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:15)
Huh?

**Chad Johnson** (1:16)
Kyle Murray signed-

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:17)
On a one year deal?

**Chad Johnson** (1:18)
Yeah, he's on a one year deal. So I don't think we move on from him that fast, even though he doesn't look good yet. He hadn't looked good in the past either. But absolutely, not that soon.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:28)
But guess what?
If Kyle Murray doesn't look good, they're not going to win. If Kyle Murray don't get it done, the backup's probably likelihood. So guess what they're going to be in the market for anyway?

**Chad Johnson** (1:37)
Quarterback.
Ta-da! You know what's funny? That team is too good. They're not going to be able to get anybody, anybody of an extreme, extreme value at the quarterback position because they're still going to do well with that supporting cast they have.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:53)
I absolutely agree with Ochocinco on this one because I don't think Kyler Murray's job is going to be hard considering the fact that when you got guys like Aaron Jones back there, bro, I mean, they run game cutting up. I mean, here, they cut up the day to where Kyler Murray barely had to do anything. So you know what I mean? Think about that. So I think with all the weapons that they have and their run game that they have, Ochocinco, I think his job is going to be smooth selling.

**Chad Johnson** (2:19)
It's so funny too, Joe. I'm glad you just said that. I don't think people understand how it's not easy. I'm not saying it's easy, but how easy the quarterback position is for players that are elite or in the conversation of being top 10 in the quarterbacks when you have a certain supporting cast.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:37)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:37)
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray. I'm trying to think who else has unbelievable weapons where it's like if you have a Tesla, you put the Tesla on autopilot.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:50)
Oh, Jerry Goff, Dak.

**Chad Johnson** (2:52)
Oh, Jerry Goff, Dak is one of the Rams.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:58)
Yeah, Stafford.

**Chad Johnson** (2:59)
Matthew Stafford, Joe. I'm not saying the position is easy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:03)
Brock Purdy.

**Chad Johnson** (3:04)
Yeah, Brock Purdy. Yeah, that kind of supporting cast that are the upper echelon of their respective positions.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:10)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (3:10)
Oh, it makes a quarterback job so much easier. Not only the quarterback, the person calling the plays.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:16)
Jalen Hurts.

**Chad Johnson** (3:17)
Oh, another one. Now, I need, Makai Limit, I need him healthy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:24)
You need to get healthy.

**Chad Johnson** (3:25)
I need him healthy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:26)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (3:27)
I need him healthy. That's my only issue.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:31)
And for the Giants, y'all get Odell some love. I know he ain't have but six yards to catch it. But for somebody who ain't placed in 2018, hell, he probably feel pretty good just to get out there and get his feet wet, get moving, catch a couple of balls. It was good to see that young man back out there, bro. Well, you mean played in the Giants since 2018? Yeah, that's the last time he played with the Giants, right? Yes. But he, you know, look, it's gonna take some time. I mean, look, he still look explosive. The question is, is he gonna get enough opportunities? Cause at the end of the day, you gotta get opportunities. I don't give a damn, you know, all that, he can still catch the ball, he can still run routes, he's still an elite route runner. They don't throw me no balls, all I'm doing is running some good looking routes for what?
