From the article

The reality is that McCarthy probably just wasn't a very good quarterback prospect to begin with. There were eyebrows raised around the league when the Vikings took him with the 10th pick given how rarely he was asked to throw at Michigan, where the offense really ran through a Blake Corum-led rushing attack.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy was a weak prospect: rarely threw at Michigan, lacked elite physical tools of other top-10 QB busts.

McCarthy was probably not a very good quarterback prospect to begin with; the Vikings raised eyebrows around the league by taking him 10th overall given how rarely he was asked to throw at Michigan (22 times per contest), where the offense ran through a Blake Corum-led rushing attack, unlike top-10 QB busts like Trey Lance and Anthony Richardson Sr. who at least offered high-end mobility and arm strength upside.
