From the episode

J.J. McCarthy, after a rough, rough rookie season...he was like the first quarterback, you know, this side of Josh Dobbs to not succeed in that offense.

Mentioned at 44:05 – 45:54

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McCarthy's rough rookie year makes him unlikely to beat out Kyler Murray in Minnesota.

Had a rough rookie season and is unlikely to win the Vikings starting job over Kyler Murray; was the first QB in recent memory to fail in Kevin O'Connell's offense, which is a bad sign; still has some upside as a prospect but the take is weakening as evidence mounts against him.
