From the episode

he touted JJ McCarthy to us all last year. I know. And talked about his zoom calls. He did with JJ every day and all this stuff. And then JJ couldn't have been worse.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCarthy's disappointing play contradicted heavy coaching staff promotion.

McCarthy was touted by the Vikings coaching staff all last year, with the head coach discussing his zoom calls and daily interactions, but McCarthy "couldn't have been worse" in actual play; reporters later claimed the pick was entirely the GM's decision and the coaching staff had nothing to do with it, suggesting a significant disconnect between pre-season hype and on-field performance.
