Yahoo Sports NFL on J.J. McCarthy
From the article
I hate everything about their process from the moment they drafted J.J. McCarthy to right now. And it's borderline unprecedented.
STACKED’s take
Wright: Vikings' McCarthy process is disastrous; gave up after 10 starts on raw prospect.
Nick Wright criticized the Vikings' handling of J.J. McCarthy as "borderline unprecedented" and "disastrous." Wright outlined the problematic process: the Vikings drafted McCarthy as a first-round pick, he got injured before they soured on him, played well in a preseason game, then the team moved on despite winning 14 games with Sam Darnold. Wright emphasized McCarthy's youth—he is younger than 2024 draft picks Ty Simpson, Carson Beck, and Drake Maye, and three years younger than Bo Nix and Tyler Shough—making the decision to give up after just 10 starts particularly harsh. Wright noted McCarthy is essentially in Year 2 due to missing his entire rookie year to injury, yet the Vikings have essentially washed their hands of him.
