McCarthy's injuries have limited him to 10 starts in two seasons since he was drafted with the 10th overall pick in 2024. 'I felt like I was hitting that upward trajectory, and I'm certain it's still been going up since then,' McCarthy said.

STACKED’s take

McCarthy competing fairly for starting role after injury recovery; O'Connell managing reps to develop him.

McCarthy faces a genuine QB competition with Kyler Murray; Kevin O'Connell is managing reps carefully to develop McCarthy without hurting his confidence. McCarthy has recovered from late-season injuries that limited him to 10 starts in two seasons since being drafted 10th overall in 2024. He stated he felt he was hitting an upward trajectory before injuries and is certain it has continued since. McCarthy said conversations with O'Connell have been about doing his job to the best of his ability, taking completions, making smart decisions, and that the competition is fair.
