The Minnesota Vikings took a huge gamble this offseason by deciding to let quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones depart in free agency, opting in favor of their 2024 First Round Draft Pick J.J. McCarthy . McCarthy missed his rookie season with a torn meniscus, but was tabbed as ‘the guy’ heading into this season.
While Darnold (Seattle Seahawks) and Jones (Indianapolis Colts) are excelling with their new teams, McCarthy is struggling mightily. Although he has dealt with a high-ankle sprain this season, he has started in six games for Minnesota. Over that span, the team is just 2-4.
