For the Minnesota Vikings, it's been a roller coaster ride with quarterback J.J. McCarthy running the show.
There have been moments where McCarthy takes over the fourth quarter and helps the Vikings win impressive games. Other moments show a young and inexperienced second-year quarterback who is still trying to figure things out, but does it all fall on him, or is his head coach, Kevin O'Connell, holding him back?
The Athletic's Alec Lewis wrote about some of the struggles with McCarthy in his four starts at quarterback. Lewis indicated that, based on the play calls that O'Connell is making, he may not necessarily trust his young signal caller to bomb the ball down the field.
