McCarthy's processing remains sub-starter level; hasn't improved enough from poor 2025 season.

Forness argues McCarthy's processing remains at a sub-starter level despite some better moments in recent practices. McCarthy has not shown enough improvement from a really poor overall 2025 season to differentiate himself in the QB competition against Murray. Processing ability is the key differentiator, and McCarthy falls short on this metric.
