From the article

He's had injuries and hasn't been spectacular in his time on the field, but I also don't know how great the Vikings' plan for developing him has been... towards the end of the year in 2025, when the Vikings simplified things offensively a bit, he did look significantly better.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

McCarthy likely to play this season; showed improvement with simplified offense late 2025.

Gates believes McCarthy is likely to see action at some point this season given the injury history of both Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz; McCarthy is the only quarterback on the Vikings' roster under contract beyond this season. While McCarthy has had injuries and hasn't been spectacular, Gates notes the Vikings' development plan may not have been ideal, but McCarthy looked significantly better when the offense was simplified late in 2025.
