From the episode

we just saw JJ McCarthy against new Orleans. That's a layup matchup. Um, what's going to happen when he faces an actual real defense? he was not able to supply volume to Justin Jefferson last year.

Mentioned at 34:52 – 35:35

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Kelley doubts McCarthy can sustain volume against real defenses after weak Saints game.

Matt Kelley expresses skepticism about JJ McCarthy's ability to sustain volume for his receivers; McCarthy's performance against New Orleans (a weak defense) was a layup matchup, and his historical inability to supply volume to Justin Jefferson raises questions about his performance against real defenses.
