Speaker 1 (00:00):
How bad has JJ McCarthy been this season? These statistics
are going to blow your mind, and I'm gonna get
to it in a minute. But first I need to
tell you about zero res carpet cleaning because the holidays
are coming up, and what better way to prepare for
the holidays than to get your carpets cleaned. Three carpets

(00:22):
clean for only one hundred and thirty nine dollars. Go

Tell them you heard about it from the brawl with Timpaul.

Zero res spell at fours or backwards, it spells the same.

(00:44):
JJ McCarthy has been excruciatingly bad this season. I'm not
talking bottom tier of the NFL. I'm talking absolute bottom
feeder in the According to the latest quarterback efficiency metric

(01:05):
that analyzes twenty twenty five NFL quarterbacks, JJ McCarthy is
the worst NFL quarterback. I can almost guarantee that you
think Brown's quarterback Dylan Gabriel is absolute trash. If you

(01:26):
think Dylan Gabriel is trash, then what does that make
JJ McCarthy because he is miles lower in the quarterback
efficiency metric and McCarthy is throwing to arguably the best
offensive weapons in the NFL. Are we placing unfair expectations

(01:50):
on a first year starting quarterback who has heard all
of last season And the answer is no. Nobody is
expecting JJ McCarthy to be Joe Montana this season. Nobody
is asking JJ McCarthy to be an elite quarterback this season.
All we're asking for is somewhere around average to steer

(02:13):
this super Bowl winning roster in the right direction, and
he can't do it. We're not asking him to be
Joe Montana, but we're asking you to be better than
Dylan Gabriel. We're not asking you to be the best
quarterback in the league, but we're certainly not expecting McCarthy
to be the worst quarterback in the league. The Purple

(02:36):
Persuasion on x, the best vikings Twitter account in the world,
found this nugget from Matthew Callers podcast The Purple Insider,
and it says this, through five games, McCarthy has completed
just fifty two point eight percent of his passes and
has a QB rating of sixty one point eight. In
the past twenty years, there have been one hundred and

(02:59):
five quarterback to throw at least one hundred passes In
the first five games. McCarthy ranks ninety fourth in completion
percentage and ninety second in passer rating. This isn't just
a JJ McCarthy development problem, because that stat is comparing

(03:19):
JJ McCarthy to other quarterbacks in a similar season as him.
JJ McCarthy sucks and all the numbers are going to
tell you that. Not only do the numbers tell you that,
but the iteest tells you that too. He's missing wide
receivers wide open down the field. Vikings. Wide receivers are

(03:43):
becoming more and more frustrated as they find themselves wide open,
and yet the balls they're receiving are either in the
dirt or in the stands. JJ McCarthy has been the
worst NFL quarterback this season. Worse than Dylan gas Gabriel,
worse than Cam Loard, worse than justin fields. This isn't

(04:05):
just a development thing. This is I'm the worst quarterback
in the NFL thing. The Purple Persuasion also found this
Nugget Vikings quarterback McCarthy in some key stats turnover worthy
play rate six point one percent first of thirty five
quarterbacks eligible bad percentage of poor throws per passe attempt

(04:28):
twenty four point one percent first of thirty five quarterbacks.
On target percentage fifty nine point nine percent. He ranks
thirty fifth out of thirty five quarterbacks. We are not
placing unfair expectations on McCarthy. Nobody is asking him to
be Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, but we're certainly asking

(04:52):
him to be better than the worst quarterback in the league.
