Big Blue View on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy posts career highs (252 yards, 71.4% comp) in Texans win; mechanics improving.

McCarthy set career-highs with 252 passing yards and a 71.4 completion percentage against Houston; a coach who reviewed his film noted his fundamentals have improved, he has not climbed the pocket unnecessarily as much as in the past, and there were plays where he appeared comfortable in the pocket delivering the ball accurately. He is still just 23 years old making only his 11th career start and looked worthy of his first-round draft selection, buying time with his legs, layering throws with anticipation, and working through reads within Matt Nagy's offensive structure. McCarthy has his fifth win in as many starts dating back to his Vikings tenure.
