Yahoo Sports NFL on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy trails Murray in QB competition; lacks explosive play generation.

In the Vikings' second padded practice, McCarthy had some nice throws but appears to be falling behind Kyler Murray in the quarterback competition. The source states that 'McCarthy just doesn't appear to be on the same level as Murray when it comes to generating explosive plays, which are huge in any NFL offense,' suggesting Murray is separating in the race for the starting job.
