Daily Norseman on J.J. McCarthy
From the article
if you're not going to take advantage of Murray's mobility and you're going to at least try to be a run-heavy offense…well, that's the sort of offense you said you wanted to have when you drafted McCarthy in the first place. McCarthy is the only quarterback on the roster under contract beyond this season
STACKED’s take
McCarthy is only QB under contract beyond this season; scheme fit supports development opportunity.
McCarthy is positioned as the long-term QB option for the Vikings offense. One the source argues: "if you're not going to take advantage of Murray's mobility and you're going to at least try to be a run-heavy offense…well, that's the sort of offense you said you wanted to have when you drafted McCarthy in the first place. McCarthy is the only quarterback on the roster under contract beyond this season, so you should probably at least try to do something with him, particularly if Murray continues to look as bad as he did against Tampa Bay." Another the source notes McCarthy "still has significant problems with accuracy and processing, last we saw him play," but a third suggests "JJ McCarthy can do just as well as Wentz or Murray" and would "give McCarthy the shot if the situation arises." The source emphasizes McCarthy's contract status and scheme alignment as reasons to develop him, though acknowledges current accuracy concerns.
