Murray is the heavy favorite to win the job, but it's impossible to pull eyes away from any unsettled quarterback situation. In his previous seven NFL seasons, Murray has displayed the arm talent necessary to succeed in O'Connell's offense. But how long will it take him to grow accustomed to what is admittedly a complex scheme, one that requires active eyes and patient feet in the pocket?

Murray is Week 1 favorite but faces scheme complexity learning curve with limited reps.

Murray signed a one-year deal with the Vikings in March and is the heavy favorite to win the starting QB job in Week 1. However, Kevin Seifert notes that despite displaying the arm talent necessary to succeed in Kevin O'Connell's complex offense over his previous seven NFL seasons, the critical question is how long it will take him to grow accustomed to the scheme, which requires active eyes and patient feet in the pocket. Murray admitted during OTAs that it had been a challenge to pursue the necessary familiarity while taking only half the reps.
