Summary
J.J. McCarthy’s starting job with the Minnesota Vikings hangs in the balance as he battles Kyler Murray for the QB1 role — and the pressure is mounting. Early stats were underwhelming, but a late-season surge against weaker defenses doesn’t cut it. The real test? Facing elite competition in joint practices with the Ravens. McCarthy needs to fix shaky footwork, improve accuracy, and sharpen his mental game — especially with Justin Jefferson. Turnover-prone plays and inconsistent mechanics are hurdles he must clear. Analysts say the Ravens’ practices, not preseason games, will decide his fate — with a decision expected by July 23rd.
