J.J. McCarthyQB
McCarthy has real upside as the Vikings starting QB candidate, but consistency will make or break his shot against Kyler Murray at 2026 training camp. Kevin O'Connell's track record (43-25 in four years) suggests he will ride whichever QB wins the competition outright; this is a 2026-only decision, not about McCarthy's ceiling in 2028. The Ravens joint practices are framed as the single most important moment of McCarthy's career, with a decision expected by July 23rd.
