There use to be a time Purple Insider was the best podcast in the world but over the past few years there has been a noticeable shift in the host Matthew Coller just saying whatever decision the Vikings make is a good one. He claims he wanted Vikings to keep Darnold when everyone else wanted him gone but then listen to his podcasts after the Vikings made the decision he will say it’s the right one. Listen to his podcasts about Hargrove or Allen or Thielen or Kwesi. He supported Kwesi every podcast until he was fired and then said oh he did a bad job . I think he’s afraid of losing his credentials with the Vikings therefore is afraid to criticize poor choices they make and it’s a shame cause he used to be the best at criticizing decisions they would make I.E. the Kirk years

Coller hands down is the best Vikings journalist in town. Driven by facts and data he’s always on point with good information and has great guests too.

Coller this has to be one of your most succinct and articulate analysis of football. Complements to the chef. Sando was also great.
