Daily Norseman on J.J. McCarthy
From the article
McCarthy completed 5 of 10 passes for 81 yards. McCarthy then overthrew Felton and Price in the end zone on second and fourth downs, respectively, as Minnesota failed to score.
STACKED’s take
McCarthy's 50% completion rate and end-zone inaccuracy underscore inconsistency in limited preseason action.
McCarthy completed 5 of 10 passes for 81 yards in his four-series appearance, struggling with accuracy and misfiring to open receivers multiple times. He overthrew wide receivers Tai Felton and Myles Price in the end zone on second and fourth downs respectively, failing to capitalize on a 50-yard completion to Felton that had moved the Vikings to the Ravens' 10-yard line. Dave Campbell of the Associated Press noted McCarthy 'misfired to open receivers multiple times' and 'threw too hard into the end zone twice for incompletions — resulting in a turnover on downs.' McCarthy acknowledged the misses, saying 'Those are just throws I've got to make' and attributing the performance to preseason experience rather than feeling rushed.
