Ex-Vikings starter torches Kevin O'Connell over J.J. McCarthy handling

It's no secret that Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled mightily in his first season as a starter. But since McCarthy has only made six starts in his young NFL career, there's really still no clear explanation for exactly why he's struggled so much this year.

Despite the sample size still being relatively small, some have been sharing who they believe is at fault for the young quarterback's poor play this season, including former Vikings starting offensive lineman Alex Boone.

During a recent episode of "The OLine Committee: An NFL Offensive Line Show," Boone went on a bit of a rant about how Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell hasn't done enough to help make things easier for McCarthy out on the field this year.
