This sums it up pretty, pretty well, He throws into 2 defenders at an alarming rate and holds the ball too long. Everything my eyes have seen says bust, but a little flickr inside says its just 6 games...
McCarthy’s body of work, slim as it is, per the NFC North scout above, is “too limited to really judge. “But if you’re judging (anyway),” the scout says, “There’s not much besides doom.” Like after 11 weeks, when McCarthy’s completion percentage (52.9) ranked second-to-last in the NFL, ahead only of Shedeur Sanders in limited action.
There is no doubt he'll be on the roster in 26...The only question is will he be an anointed starter or in a camp competition to start vs a proven vet?
You'd have to say the latter as of Thanksgiving day.
There's no way based on what we've seen, he gets annointed anything other then a roster spot (maybe). A veteran or two, depending on Brosmer, will be brought in. It's such a shitty situation to put all your eggs in the McCarthy basket and to see him fail so miserably. The last position we wanted to be in going into the offseason is the "what now" scenario at quarterback and basically starting the entire process all over again.

Which brings me to some admiration for franchises that cut their losses early...Its good awareness on their part. NE with Mac Jones is the perfect example.
And no, JJM is not playing anywhere near as well as Jones did.
Vikings could very well have a top 6 pick and might be tempted again at a a QB, cant discount it.

And I'd be okay with that as long as we have a new GM making that decision. There's no way, after the countless draft misses and this fresh whiff on McCarthy, that you let Mensah make that call.
