From the article

[O'Connell] touted JJ McCarthy to us all last year, and talked about his Zoom calls he did with JJ every day and all this stuff, and then JJ couldn't have been worse.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCarthy underperformed last year despite O'Connell's promotion; potential first-round bust.

Described as a potential first-round draft bust; O'Connell heavily promoted McCarthy last year with daily Zoom calls but McCarthy underperformed significantly in his previous season. Bill Simmons criticized O'Connell's handling of McCarthy, stating 'JJ couldn't have been worse.' McCarthy is on a 'prove it' deal and would get a final second chance in 2027 if the Vikings don't move on, though the team is exploring QB alternatives like Baker Mayfield.
