JDBrocks Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I don't care who he played against. It's FAR more important that he's making good decisions, progressing through reads quickly, maintaining good mechanics, and learning from his mistakes. So what if he was playing against back ups - did he take advantage of mistakes? Did he make routine throws look routine? Did he get the play calls right and get everyone lined up correctly? Did he maneuver in the pocket well? There's nothing to be gained from putting an asterisk next to performance based on preseason. The arm strength, the grasp of the offense, the progressions, the pre snap stuff all looked really good for a 21 year old in his first professional action. He needs go through progressions faster, clean up the top of his drops, and he's got some work to do on selling play action - those were the biggest things that I noticed. I think he easily had the most impressive debut from this rookie class. Williams was probably next with a couple of wow plays, but ultimately not enough to really pass judgement given like half of his yards came on a screen (even if the completion was pretty nifty). I was impressed, and I think he showed why there's been so much hype coming out of camp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is sad, he was one of my first Vikings-Twitter follows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) He's been grinding all summer so there's no surprise that he's a little sore. I respect the hell out of KOCs approach to injuries and in the long term I think being cautious with player health is the best for both the franchise and the player. Rest him for week 2 of the preseason and give his snaps to Mullens and Hall. Edited August 13 by viking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Nice summary of McCarthy on one of his dropbacks. Hopefully he's healthy enough to see extended playing time for the last preseason game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I'm sure that's the most that McCarthy has ever been hit in his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I would prefer it if the future of the franchise didn't have a knee issue preventing him from practicing after his first professional action 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also nice that he's under no pressure to perform. He doesn't have to be ready to start Week 1. But yeah...less than ideal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
