J.J. McCarthy's time here in Minnesota may be short 👀 According to sources, @SeifertESPN noted that "all bets are off" as it relates to McCarthy. Seifert continued with how recent events have led the Vikings to likely "take a big swing at finding a veteran QB" and how "the only thing more damaging than making the mistakes the Vikings made last season would be to repeat them this year".

We may as well just go all the way with the evidence against McCarthy from his first 10 games - he showed us the floor for the #Vikings' passing offense under KOC to this point. J.J. McCarthy in 2025: - Lowest completion percentage (57.6%) - Lowest average yardage per attempt (5.4yds) - Lowest passer rating (72.6) - Lowest adjusted net yardage per pass attempt (4.3yds) - Lowest on-target percentage (66.5%) - 2nd-lowest passing success rate (41.1%) - 2nd-lowest pass yards per game of any QB that started at least 10 games (163.2yds) - 3rd-lowest QBR (35.6) - 5th-lowest net yards per pass attempt (5.49yds) - 6th-lowest pressure-to-sack rate (23.5%) - 8th-lowest overall QB PFF grade (61.8) - 8th-lowest PFF passing grade (60.1) - Most interceptions of any QB that played 10 games or less (12) - 2nd-highest bad-throw percentage (21.3%) This is not me saying that I don't have any faith in McCarthy. But it does show us the floor that the Vikings have if they went 9-8 in 2025 with the QB play from that entire room, and assuming we have the usual Flores-standard defensive unit we're accustomed to. It's hard to imagine that Kyler Murray would be close to that floor, or even if another year of McCarthy would be. P.S. I was very high on McCarthy during the months of the 2024 draft process. I may have been wrong, and I will be wrong again about a player, and that's ok. #SKOL
