Struggles related to inexperience have been front-and-center for the world to see in J.J. McCarthy's last two games starting under center for the Minnesota Vikings. During the previous two weeks, McCarthy has only completed 48.6 percent of his passes for 398 yards (199 per game), two touchdowns, and four interceptions.
It hasn't been good, but he's only started a total of five times in his short NFL career, and the Vikings have been attempting to develop him in the starting lineup instead of making him learn from the bench.
On Wednesday, McCarthy was open about some of the specifics he needs to improve moving forward in order to get closer to reaching the potential that Minnesota believes he has.
