It's certainly no secret that J.J. McCarthy has struggled through the first six starts of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. There have been flashes of brilliance, of course, including his incredible fourth quarter in which he threw for two touchdowns and ran in another to lead the Vikes to an improbable comeback victory, as well as his two-touchdown first quarter in Minnesota's Week 9 win over the Detroit Lions.
From an overall standpoint, however, things have been bleak, as the 22-year-old has completed just 54.1 percent of his passes and has averaged just 154.
