Schefter not giving up on McCarthy despite 2025 struggles; sees comeback potential.

Despite a disappointing 2025 season where McCarthy struggled and was benched for Kyler Murray, Adam Schefter is not giving up on him and believes there is a comeback story ahead. Schefter expects to hear from McCarthy again at some point—whether at the start of the season, during the season, or after—citing recent NFL comeback precedents like Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold. Schefter acknowledges McCarthy wasn't ready and struggled, but notes his issues were multifactorial (injury history, offensive line issues, self-inflicted mistakes) rather than pure talent decline, and remains confident in his potential for another opportunity.
