J.J. McCarthy was named the Vikings' No. 2 quarterback behind Kyler Murray. The bad part for J.J. McCarthy being named the Minnesota Vikings' backup on Tuesday, before the Vikings even play a preseason game, isn't that he lost the competition. It's that Tuesday's news announced by Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell that Kyler Murray had been named starting quarterback was confirmation that it was never really a competition at all.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McCarthy named Vikings backup; competition with Murray was never genuine.

Named Vikings' No. 2 quarterback behind Kyler Murray on Tuesday before preseason play began. The announcement confirmed the competition was never real; McCarthy had a small chance to win the job with a fantastic camp showing why he was the 10th pick two years ago, but that didn't happen. Vikings weren't going to waste the rest of August on the charade.
