US EditionFrederick: Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Seems to Have Learned Lessons. Now, Can He Act on Them?
Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah admits QB room was mishandled due to incomplete data and lack of Plan B, promising a rebuild and competitive depth for 2026.
- On Tuesday at the Vikings' practice facility in Eagan, Kwesi Adofo‑Mensah admitted the quarterback room was mishandled and said he will focus on execution over the coming months.
- Adofo‑Mensah blamed the shortfall on relying on incomplete information and trust in the existing staff, entering camp with one 22‑year‑old realistic option while Carson Wentz arrived late and Daniel Jones left.
- Given Minnesota's 14‑win 2024 season and the roster quality, the bungled quarterback position was identified as the team's fatal flaw this fall, contributing to missing the playoffs.
- Vikings internal talks aim to rebuild the QB room to suit Kevin O'Connell's offense, and Adofo-Mensah indicated J.J. McCarthy will not be handed the 2026 starting quarterback job.
- Under pressure after mixed results, Kwesi Adofo‑Mensah said he is accountable and emphasized improving execution as part of rebuilding the position, calling it Step 1 in the process of turning any tide.

So there’s a fair amount for which to cri…
