The Minnesota Vikings are evaluating J.J. McCarthy, their twenty-two-year-old quarterback, through a ten-game audition to determine if he will be their starter next season. If McCarthy doesnt consistently improve, the team might look for a more experienced veteran. The Vikings spent a significant amount last offseason to improve their team but could have kept Sam Darnold by using a franchise tag. The team is also keeping an eye on Justin Jefferson, their star receiver, who might become frustrated if he doesnt receive enough catchable passes from McCarthy. Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms praised McCarthy after the Vikings win against the Lions, suggesting theres still hope for McCarthy to develop into a strong leader for the team.
