The Vikings 2025 quarterback play has been unacceptable
Whether JJ McCarthy plays Week 18 or not, his 2025 performance leaves major questions for the Vikings this offseason
As the season is set to come to an end with the Vikings playing the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad in Week 18, whether Vikings QB JJ McCarthy plays or not should not matter to the final evaluation of his season. If he does suit up, it’s a preseason game. If he lights up the Packers, ask Matt Flynn how much that really matters. Or Drew Lock cooking the Colts for 309 and four touchdowns last year. Or Jarrett Stidham throwing for 365 and three TDs vs. the 49ers in 2023. Or Davis Mills posting 301 and three TDs versus Tennessee in 2022 and on and on.
The evaluation of his 2025 season should end with the first half of the game against the Giants.
The Numbers
If we look at his 8.5 games, the Vikings appear to be eons away from being able to hang in a game like the one Williams played against Purdy.
Here’s how McCarthy’s number stack up to the rest of the NFL after 17 weeks:
— 35th of 35 in passer rating (min. 200 attempts)
— 34th of 44 in adjusted completion percentage for drops (PFF)
— 29 of 32 in points added by QB (ESPN)
— 31st of 32 in ESPN’s QBR stat
— 4th worst in pressure to sack rate (PFF)
— 3rd worst in sack percentage
— Worst in INT percentage
