As would be expected, despite it being so easy to author broad, instant narratives that naturally tilt negative, J.J. McCarthy has had ups and downs over his first four NFL starts.
The priority for the Minnesota Vikings over the rest of this season, independent of wins and losses, is to do whatever it takes to get their young quarterback on a better track.
Overall, with the offensive line the healthiest it has been all season, minus center Ryan Kelly and all the key skill position pieces who were projected to be around him available, McCarthy is in a good situation.
