""It's easier to go and be a revisionist and results-based," Adofo-Mensah said this week. "But to really think through what we had at the time, I still understand why we did what we did. The results maybe didn't play out the way we wanted them to. Ultimately, I think that at the end of the day, we could have executed [player acquisitions] better in certain places."
""And I don't want to say individually, in terms of a particular player, but just executing better, knowing what the room was play-style-wise, experience-wise, and really put together a better combination of people, collective in that group. That's the thing I probably focused on the most.""
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah reflected on nights spent questioning where quarterback decisions went wrong as the Vikings lost many games. He said he still understands why prior choices were made but acknowledged shortcomings in execution on player acquisitions. Adofo-Mensah emphasized the need to assemble a quarterback room that fits play style and experience requirements and to build a better collective combination of players. The team plans to recreate a similar process around J.J. McCarthy while emphasizing greater depth and improved results. Neither Adofo-Mensah nor coach Kevin O'Connell committed to McCarthy as the 2026 starter, but they have not ruled him out after his injury-filled 10-game debut.
