The Green Bay Packers are in a three-way dogfight for supremacy of the NFC North, but the disappointing play of quarterback J.J. McCarthy has the rival Minnesota Vikings doing everything they can to just keep their heads above water in what has been a very brutal season.

McCarthy has performed so poorly that one of Green Bay's most hated rivals went from 14 wins in 2024 to just five this season. When compared across the league, the former first-round pick's numbers and performance actually are worse than it looks.

CBS Sports ranked McCarthy as the worst starting quarterback in their 32-player ranking.
