The Minnesota Vikings are trying to convince the public that a real quarterback competition is brewing this summer between J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray. If OTAs were the first play of a drive, McCarthy took a 15-yard sack on first down during his Wednesday press conference with reporters.
McCarthy was asked about the state of the quarterback room after the Vikings signed Kyler Murray in March. Instead of using a politically correct answer, McCarthy may have gotten a little too honest in his response.
"It's just like two guys in a classroom," McCarthy said. "[Murray] sits on one side, and I sit on the other side, and it's the coaches' responsibility to teach us and coach us."
The exchange has generated tons of opinions across the NFL landscape, wondering if McCarthy has failed to mature heading into Year 3 of a tumultuous start to his career.
McCarthy may have been telling the truth, but now that his response is generating headlines, it feels like he has yet another hurdle to clear as he fights to keep his job.
