J.J. McCarthy evidently hasn't set the NFL on fire as a rookie, but Minnesota Vikings fans have every reason to believe they found their franchise QB. Before injuring his hand last weekend, McCarthy finally turned a corner in his development after accumulating the two best starts of his career in the weeks prior.
The 22-year-old still has a lengthy road ahead of him before he develops into a star, but the flashes have been there. Unfortunately, with him sidelined, fans had to watch undrafted rookie Max Brosmer take the field against the Detroit Lions, and against all odds, he helped lead them to a stunning upset.
