See what Aaron Jones did this year compared to 2017-18.
That’s on McCarthy. Stevie Wonder could see that Jones was a stud who should’ve been the lead back. McCarthy couldn’t.
Jones dealt with a suspension and was injured going on IR in those first 2 seasons.
This season he was used more but he was also available more.
He only ran for 7 yards a game more in 2019 than he did 2018....
Ted Thompson wasn't a great GM for GB and winning long term hurts you with the cap.
As does having the highest paid player in league history as AR was while feuding with family, going through celebrity break ups, getting injured and playing like crap.
McCarthy did not get it done those 2 seasons thus why he is available.
Every other available option will be in the same boat.
No other actual option will have been to 4 Champ Games.
Is he is a risk? Sure. But a better bet than any other realistic option.
