I'm of the opinion that almost every rookie quarterback shouldnt start - definitely not week 1. The mental aspect and speed of the game increase exponentially at the next level, giving the future of your franchise a chance to watch, learn, and practice, at that speed surely sets you up for more success in the future.

But they handled it the right way. They were patient. And they didn’t just throw them to the wolves when they weren’t ready. And now the Packers have developed their 3rd straight franchise, which is absolutely remarkable.

This sums things up pretty well. I think one aspect that people forget about McCarthy is the fact that he just turned 21 this year. He will have to develop, but that's expected for anybody at his age. I think the tools and age combo is what gets the NFL excited and willing to take the chance. He does have to go to the right spot though. Minnesota has a great offense so that would be a good spot. I think Sean Payton would be a good pairing for him, although he's probably not day one ready in his offense. A team like the Patriots or Raiders would probably be a disaster, but I don't think he'll go at 3, but probably be gone by 13. I'm interested to see his development for sure.

@TheUndefeatedOfTheEast well I don't think it was mentioned in this video. Either way, I believe the fact that he essentially has 2-3 years before he's at the same level of football experience as the other guys is a significant part of why he's viewed so highly. On top of that he was still asked to do so little at Michigan. We really have no idea what he will look like in a typical pass heavy offense. I can understand why that brings both questions and also predicted upside. Bottom line is age + tools = high draft pick.
@ddman1354Ай бұрын
I think what gets lost in the JJ McCarthy narrative is people thinking teams would be so desperate to get him in top 10 along with that rookie contract amount. In comparison to the QB1~QB3, McCarthy def does not have those crazier tools despite his younger age and may not get to his 2nd contract. Which is why team situation will be very important for him because he def is not a starter caliber rookie and I probably agree with the sentiment of many that he will benefit from sitting like Love did (but for less longer). I don't see him as a bonafide franchise QB but he'll be fine if he ends up as an experienced veteran bridge QB type for a team with better pieces on offense.

@@t4d0W Landing spot is definitely important for JJ. Although, it's important for just about any prospect. I'd say Williams is the only QB from this class that would survive playing his rookie year on that Patriots team. If they take Maye or Daniels, I don't like their chances.
@ddman1354Ай бұрын
It may not play out that way. There are 6 available QBs in this draft. 4 teams, Broncos, Vikings, Commanders & Patriots do not have what most people would consider to be a #1 starter & 2 others, the Giants & Jets _might not_ have one. Do you know what QB prospects are expected to be 1st-rounders in _next year's_ draft? *No one.* As soon as GMs realize this, the Pats & Giants at least are a _LOT_ less likely to trade down & the Cardinals or Chargers could demand quite a hefty ransom for doing so. While most of us want to see Malik Nabers paired with Justin Herbert, there's no point in the Chargers drafting him. They just hired Greg Roman, their third straight completely inept OC. You may know him as the guy who took Lamar down from an MVP in a league with Brady & Rodgers to Daniel Jones levels of production making everyone think he was a glorified RB. Herbert can't run like Lamar. Between that & his o-line plays, expect Herbert to get injured yet again.

QBs get pushed up a little bit but NFL teams are more disciplined than we give them credit for. 2022 Pickett at 20 and then not another until Ridder in the 3rd, people thought Willis was a top-5 pick that draft. 2023 Levis falls out of the 1st when he was favored to go 2nd overall by betting odds a week before the draft.

INB4 people will get at you with 'but teams are more desperate for starting QB talent this time around'. But I doubt they are that desperate enough to push all their chips in for draft assets just to move to 5th~9th for JJ McCarthy. Unless its a GM that knows their job is gone by this season and wants to do that move out of spite/owners' wishes. At the very least QB1~QB3 this year looks like they can start for 'bad' NFL teams this year and be their respective teams' franchise QB (with a potential for that 2nd contract/extension). Nothing about JJ screams that about me and I would trust the NFL GMs/Owners for that since they have the money. The draft fans who are heavy into the speculation certainly don't.

To be fair to the inconsistent accuracy and anticipation and not well polished processing, he is the youngest and most inexperienced of all the QBs. Many of these clips are from the TCU game where he was 19 years old. Part of the hope with him is those aspects of his game did get better this year as opposed to last year. A lot of it is also tied to his footwork. As you can see when he’s late his stance is super wide and he overstrides. I think with his natural football instinct and playmaking ability on top of the athleticism he can develop those shortcomings. Even Maye and Caleb were both 21 last year during their final college seasons. JJ didn’t turn 21 until a couple weeks after the national championship. But because of some of those timing and processing things situation will matter a lot for him. I don’t think he has an elite ceiling but if fostered well he could be close to like a Dak Prescott.
@wardog211Ай бұрын
Close to Dak? Dawg Dak was a legit starter even in his rookie year in part because of continuity with an offensive mind like Linehan. Along with Dak's improvement with his arm, accuracy and near quick reading post snap. Even showed improvements with accuracy when the Cowboys got worst in parts of their offense. Only fault Jerry has with Dak was not paying him longer term for cheap as he became a fringe top 10 QB. QB market continues to grow and Dak gets to play his final year where he will be in demand next season and Jerry being cheap will get him no QB.

It's so funny listening to new engladn pats fans talk about him. For some reason someone told them that Mccarthy is the most pro-ready and has the highest floor. They think he's a safe pick. I've said the exact opposite. He's one of youngest guys in draft, he's still growing into his body and will improve his arm strength. His footwork sucks. All those misses you show are because he felt pressure and would throw off balance or rush his drop back and just mess up a regular 3 step drop. That is alarming, but that is also something you can fix. That's why I think JJ has a really high ceiling. If he can get his mechanics and footwork consistent, he will be a good NFL QB. And mark my words, his arm isn't done growing. When a coach fixes his mechanics it will look like a diffferent qb. Why I really like him in a few years is the athletiscm, the natural arm talent, and obsession with football. I think he's one of the guys who will work as hard as he needs to to get the job done. It may take a few years but he's going to be a good NFL level starting QB by year 3 or 4.

Well a 'smart' GM/team would rather put their chips in a top 5 QB pick who can at least start day 1 or become a franchise starter within the early outset of their rookie contract. Along with having enough film with their unique tools to have them become a top 10 (or even fringe) NFL QB. Hell fans think NFL teams would be tempted with 'flashes' but look at guys like Levis or Malik Willis whom the consensus bought into thinking they were round 1 guys or great value QB drafts just outside of the top 10. NFL thought differently when those guys were only day 2 material.

JJ going to the Vikings is just about the best possible scenario for him - a great coach and excellent supporting cast and a bridge qb in Darnold letting him hopefully sit and learn for a while. I do worry about him being able to pick up on KOC's scheme which is so heavily based on timing and anticipation, and the way KOC desperately switched between qb's last season doesn't give me confidence that he will be patient enough to give JJ time to sit and learn before being thrown to the fire.

Don’t think this was a fair video to him. U showed a lot of highlights from his first season as a starter and made it out like that version of him was the Michigan finished product. He definitely has a lot to work on but he took care of the ball, he has shown he can throw in the face of pressure, and he is athletic. I think the biggest thing he needs is more reps which is weird to say about a guy who started 29 games but it’s true. He needs more game reps throwing the ball in game. What is interesting about him, is that usually guys who threw the ball as little as he did don’t have much tape to show of them making NFL plays. He doesn’t have a lot of throws but he makes a lot of NFL plays. The volume of them just isn’t as high as Michael Penix and Caleb since they threw a lot more. He is a unique prospect but that makes sense because Michigan was a unique National Championship team. First team I can remember since Auburn that will have so few 1st round picks. JJ may be their only one. But UM had a lot of quality guys which is why they will break the NFL draft pick record. Not to mention their coach in Harbaugh was unique at the very least 😂

I personally don’t think any of the QBs besides Williams are truly top 5 players in the draft. As a Michigan fan I don’t want him to go top 10 and get destroyed beyond a bad line.

Understand these QB’s are at different levels of development. While these first round draft picks show promise, what is difficult to assess is what their ceiling is. The better ones may have a lower ceiling while one that’s that’s not too far behind may have a much higher ceiling. Generally, these guys reach their full potential if they are allowed to set a yr or two, learn the system and benefit from NFL level coaching. But let’s remember that discipline of the field is a big part of the equation. Remember Johnny Football? He had all the talent, all the ability but a big NFL Payday ruined him. Had he had the discipline? He would not only still be in the league but a top tier QB in this league but we have seen this before at other positions and the end result is pretty much the same. Long story short-short the draft is an educated crap shoot. We have seen many number ones go bust and guys like Brady come along and you seriously question the abilities of the scouts.

I thought Zach Wilson was a 6th/7th round guy who would probs be a good scout team QB for a few years, I think McCarthy is probably a 3rd/4th rounder who's ceiling is being Ryan Tannehill in 6-9 years time with good coaching - that's not a first rounder , but he has a better base.

This video is obviously click bait. This is alot of video from his Junior season. Show his senior season where he is much more improved. McCarthy can definitely be a franchise qb if the coaches have patience and let him completely develop. The Vikings have to have patience with JJ. If they do that he can be a heck of a franchise qb. Qbs careers are ruined by putting them in the wrong situations. If Mahomes went to the Bears there is no way he is a franchise qb at this point in his career. Plus, there is no way the Bears would be paying him a $400 million dollar contract. If Justin Fields was drafted into a better situation he would be way better. In Chicago he was running for his life. Then the next season they try and turn him into a pocket passer. Thats teaching the totally wrong things. If he went to a team with a good offensive line he could have been taught to go through his progressions. But he was running for his life. It will be interesting to see if the Steelers are able to turn his career around. Which i believe they definitely can. He's an extremely hard worker and he wants to be successful.

Michigan's line looks pretty good in these highlights. I am skeptical about what McCarthy looks like when he has a sub-par NFL line letting monster defensive ends hunt. I think the game manager label guys are picking up on what you are identifying, but they can't articulate why they don't like him so they throw the label. This draft it's crazy how teams are going to draft QB prospects and let sure bet receivers drop. I just hope the receivers don't slide down to where teams like KC and San Fran can further stack their rosters. McCarthy's upside potential is probably Josh Allen, but I don't expect to see it.

I literally was the one refuting the notion that nobody had JJ McCarthy high on their boards before the pre-draft process. Literally refuting that. So if you are responding to me we’re gonna have to file this under negatives on your scouting report: “reading comprehension not a strength”
It’s honestly so refreshing to see videos that don’t just senselessly hype prospects. I haven’t seen many videos like this. Props.
This sums things up pretty well. I think one aspect that people forget about McCarthy is the fact that he just turned 21 this year. He will have to develop, but that's expected for anybody at his age. I think the tools and age combo is what gets the NFL excited and willing to take the chance. He does have to go to the right spot though. Minnesota has a great offense so that would be a good spot. I think Sean Payton would be a good pairing for him, although he's probably not day one ready in his offense. A team like the Patriots or Raiders would probably be a disaster, but I don't think he'll go at 3, but probably be gone by 13. I'm interested to see his development for sure.
I dont think anybody forgets about his age. Thats usually the first thing that gets noted about him.
@TheUndefeatedOfTheEast well I don't think it was mentioned in this video. Either way, I believe the fact that he essentially has 2-3 years before he's at the same level of football experience as the other guys is a significant part of why he's viewed so highly. On top of that he was still asked to do so little at Michigan. We really have no idea what he will look like in a typical pass heavy offense. I can understand why that brings both questions and also predicted upside. Bottom line is age + tools = high draft pick.
I think what gets lost in the JJ McCarthy narrative is people thinking teams would be so desperate to get him in top 10 along with that rookie contract amount. In comparison to the QB1~QB3, McCarthy def does not have those crazier tools despite his younger age and may not get to his 2nd contract. Which is why team situation will be very important for him because he def is not a starter caliber rookie and I probably agree with the sentiment of many that he will benefit from sitting like Love did (but for less longer). I don't see him as a bonafide franchise QB but he'll be fine if he ends up as an experienced veteran bridge QB type for a team with better pieces on offense.
@@t4d0W Landing spot is definitely important for JJ. Although, it's important for just about any prospect. I'd say Williams is the only QB from this class that would survive playing his rookie year on that Patriots team. If they take Maye or Daniels, I don't like their chances.
It may not play out that way. There are 6 available QBs in this draft. 4 teams, Broncos, Vikings, Commanders & Patriots do not have what most people would consider to be a #1 starter & 2 others, the Giants & Jets _might not_ have one. Do you know what QB prospects are expected to be 1st-rounders in _next year's_ draft? *No one.* As soon as GMs realize this, the Pats & Giants at least are a _LOT_ less likely to trade down & the Cardinals or Chargers could demand quite a hefty ransom for doing so. While most of us want to see Malik Nabers paired with Justin Herbert, there's no point in the Chargers drafting him. They just hired Greg Roman, their third straight completely inept OC. You may know him as the guy who took Lamar down from an MVP in a league with Brady & Rodgers to Daniel Jones levels of production making everyone think he was a glorified RB. Herbert can't run like Lamar. Between that & his o-line plays, expect Herbert to get injured yet again.
I think the majority of this QB class is greatly overhyped.
They’re great prospects none sure things
Why because they have flaws?
Caleb is only really hyped up by bears fans. Everyone else hates him for some reason and calls him a bust.

Great Analysis My Favorite football KZheadr breakdowner(if that’s a word) great work keep it up and who’s better to you Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels who would you draft first for your team
Im so gald someone else is seeing this. Iv been beating this drum as loudly as i could. Im just glad he went to 'the best possible situation' so there are no excuses when he fails miserably. The comparison that keeps coming to my mind is kenny pickett. JJ is the next pickett. Write it down
you guys are the most reliable and trustworthy source for analyzing tape and players. keep up the amazing work
Excelent content my friend . It would be awesome to see this same breakdown in the next tear of QB , maybe 3-4 minutes each . From Penix , nix , rattler , etc . I asume that Jayden will have his own video as Williams or maye . But see the other tear and how the VOD dissect there game would be fun .
Daniels will get his own video but I'm not allowed to post SEC footage to youtube so it will only go on our patreon. It's very difficult to write a short video about a Quarterback - to really understand a QB you have to watch a season and a halfs tape and that usually throws up a lot to talk about. I'm hoping to do a Nix and Penix ones post draft - but QB videos also take an extremely long time to make accurately - so we will see how many I can make.
@@ThinkingFootball never the less , I’ll be waiting for the content 👏👏
The only thing that matters is he doesn't care about the rush. It's unteachable. Everything else, since he has the physical tools can be taught
As a JJ truther, this was an excellent breakdown because he is a project. Have you done Jayden Daniels break down and if so, does he also get criticized for tucking and running too soon? I am not talking shit just curious on your process.

@@samuelblackwell3762 Full story here - kzhead.info/sun/prqogNWqp2Rugac/bejne.html TLDR - we explained someones scheme, and they got pissed at us
My prediction is that he doesn’t go top-5 like most people think. QBs get pushed up a little bit but NFL teams are more disciplined than we give them credit for. 2022 Pickett at 20 and then not another until Ridder in the 3rd, people thought Willis was a top-5 pick that draft. 2023 Levis falls out of the 1st when he was favored to go 2nd overall by betting odds a week before the draft. This could age poorly but 🤷♂️
INB4 people will get at you with 'but teams are more desperate for starting QB talent this time around'. But I doubt they are that desperate enough to push all their chips in for draft assets just to move to 5th~9th for JJ McCarthy. Unless its a GM that knows their job is gone by this season and wants to do that move out of spite/owners' wishes. At the very least QB1~QB3 this year looks like they can start for 'bad' NFL teams this year and be their respective teams' franchise QB (with a potential for that 2nd contract/extension). Nothing about JJ screams that about me and I would trust the NFL GMs/Owners for that since they have the money. The draft fans who are heavy into the speculation certainly don't.
@@t4d0W well I was right about McCarthy but man I did not see 6 QBs in the top 12 coming

@chetsenior7253 yes
Great production but at the end of the day anyone can draw conclusions from a cut up of lowlights. His completion percentage was high, and many of these passes while not perfect were definitely catchable. He's 19 and 20 in these clips and his leap from his first year starting to his second was huge. NFL teams are all drafting with the expectation that they can polish players further at the next level.
He's a bust.
Busted on your mom
@@solomonrodriguez9187what a nuanced argument 😂
@@ryandeanandersen I watched every throw he made this year. He's combination of Jimmy G and Zach Wilson. I don't get the hype.
@@solomonrodriguez9187because you don’t understand what you’re looking at
The biggest problem is he can't throw well to his left. It looks like Michigan recognized it and rarely required him to do it. But watch the combine and his games and highlights and his throws are off to the left if its not a short pass.
He throws better to his left than Maye does to his right
@@jontaryn4816 Then Mayes must be abysmal. Because McCarthy is so bad it seems they game planned around avoiding throwing to the left.

There’s absolutely no way you can have some of these criticisms for JJ McCarthy yet think Drake Maye is going to be at surefire franchise QB
Drake Maye is way better. Just say you don't know football.
Maye actually threw the ball tho and has a way larger sample size compared to JJ
@@solomonrodriguez9187 Maye is awful.
@@VendevProd Nope!
@@solomonrodriguez9187 Okay then, explain to me how he is so good.
To be fair to the inconsistent accuracy and anticipation and not well polished processing, he is the youngest and most inexperienced of all the QBs. Many of these clips are from the TCU game where he was 19 years old. Part of the hope with him is those aspects of his game did get better this year as opposed to last year. A lot of it is also tied to his footwork. As you can see when he’s late his stance is super wide and he overstrides. I think with his natural football instinct and playmaking ability on top of the athleticism he can develop those shortcomings. Even Maye and Caleb were both 21 last year during their final college seasons. JJ didn’t turn 21 until a couple weeks after the national championship. But because of some of those timing and processing things situation will matter a lot for him. I don’t think he has an elite ceiling but if fostered well he could be close to like a Dak Prescott.
Close to Dak? Dawg Dak was a legit starter even in his rookie year in part because of continuity with an offensive mind like Linehan. Along with Dak's improvement with his arm, accuracy and near quick reading post snap. Even showed improvements with accuracy when the Cowboys got worst in parts of their offense. Only fault Jerry has with Dak was not paying him longer term for cheap as he became a fringe top 10 QB. QB market continues to grow and Dak gets to play his final year where he will be in demand next season and Jerry being cheap will get him no QB.
Weirdly this video convince me he WILL be a franchise guy. everyone misses reads and throws. But he is young with room for improvement and the high leven throws and runs you showed are very impressive
I agree. He’s my favorite QB coming out this draft and now after watching I’m now more convinced.
This.
It depends on the tean
Everyone doesn’t do it as regularly as McCarthy.
looking at past drafts its more about the team they land with and the infrastructure to nurture development. lots of highly drafted guys went to a bad spot and flamed out.
I think the problems you brought up as far as his accuracy are mainly timing issues which are correctable. But great video nonetheless
Everything is correctable, but he entered the NFL draft with these issues….. needed minimum one more year at mich
Exactly which is due to low reps in game with a running offense
@@gregpellegrin6978no u don’t turn down being top 10 dude he made it
Another thing is sometimes he squares his feet and hops at the snap. At the next level that’s a extra split second to get put on your tail
Thank you thank you thank you! I watched a lot of McCarthy this season, and this is exactly what I saw. He's not a first round talent in this class, much less top three. And all the other experts including Brett Kollman and JT O'Sullivan are buying into the hype train. Even statistically, he doesnt even surpass Stetson Bennett from last season(including rushing yards), who is an NFL 2nd/3rd string. Obviously I hope he succeeds once he gets drafted too high, but I seriously don't understand how this media campaign is being so successful.

As a Jets fan, after seeing your analysis of Zach Wilson and seeing how he panned out, I trust your opinion a lot man
Fair, objective breakdown.
Makes me wonder if this is why Harbaugh didn't really unleash McCarthy. I mean, Michigan didn't really need a QB to carry the team given the strength of its offensive line and running game and as noted during the first several minutes of this video, McCarthy did do some good things. Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
harbaugh dump all the chargers wr talent and loaded up on greg roman and ravens rbs. It might just be what he does.
It's so funny listening to new engladn pats fans talk about him. For some reason someone told them that Mccarthy is the most pro-ready and has the highest floor. They think he's a safe pick. I've said the exact opposite. He's one of youngest guys in draft, he's still growing into his body and will improve his arm strength. His footwork sucks. All those misses you show are because he felt pressure and would throw off balance or rush his drop back and just mess up a regular 3 step drop. That is alarming, but that is also something you can fix. That's why I think JJ has a really high ceiling. If he can get his mechanics and footwork consistent, he will be a good NFL QB. And mark my words, his arm isn't done growing. When a coach fixes his mechanics it will look like a diffferent qb. Why I really like him in a few years is the athletiscm, the natural arm talent, and obsession with football. I think he's one of the guys who will work as hard as he needs to to get the job done. It may take a few years but he's going to be a good NFL level starting QB by year 3 or 4.
PLEASE DONT TAKE THESE VIDEOS DOWN I LOVE EM
Great show, great analysis. I always thought McCarthy was way over-rated. The media loves him--I can only speculate as to why.
It's always interesting how different people see quarterbacks. Love your channel but I disagree on the conclusion. I do think the things he excels at are the building blocks required to grow and develop into a top-tier QB. Every player comes with weaknesses, but do the strengths provide enough in the zero-sum game of football to give him a winning advantage? I think yes, but I certainly respect the other side.
How can you disagree with taped evidence? McCarthy is terrible

He’s like 2 years old and has had one spring to get better. The tools are there and flashes are there, I don’t think anyone can credibly say they know either way.
Kinda reminds me of Tony Romo
Yeah you typically don't draft a player top 10 based on "flashes" though. That's kinda what we are saying. We aren't saying he isn't talented. He deserved to be picked in the late 1st - early 2nd. Not top 10. Huge difference in draft capital
Well a 'smart' GM/team would rather put their chips in a top 5 QB pick who can at least start day 1 or become a franchise starter within the early outset of their rookie contract. Along with having enough film with their unique tools to have them become a top 10 (or even fringe) NFL QB. Hell fans think NFL teams would be tempted with 'flashes' but look at guys like Levis or Malik Willis whom the consensus bought into thinking they were round 1 guys or great value QB drafts just outside of the top 10. NFL thought differently when those guys were only day 2 material.
Love this channel
Joe Montana and Tom Brady were both game managers and won a combined 11 Superbowls. A QB better be a game manager or they ain't worth the spot on the depth chart.
And they went in the third and 6th rounds and had to be developed. Not the same. So because the two best QBs in NFL history won SBs so we should take game managers? You named 2. I can name dozens of game managers like this who were busts
@@ajpierre how many of those busts got to throw to Justin Jefferson?
I dont think you schematically know what a game manager is. Shorter drops and full field reads aren't "game managing" Especially when your passing the ball on a substantial amount on non pa passes
@@koodigocrxzy465 when you have only two games with over 30 past attempts. You’re a game manager.. when your team is carried by the running game and the defense and not the quarterback because he has one 300 yard passing game in three seasons. You’re a game manager.
@@ajpierre That is what he has done in the past, but it's not necessarily who he actually is. If he had played in the Washington Huskies or Oregon Ducks offense, there is a great chance JJ would have tossed 45 TDs and 5K yards last season. He did what was asked of him, which was to win games. Nobody did that better last season than JJ.
JJ going to the Vikings is just about the best possible scenario for him - a great coach and excellent supporting cast and a bridge qb in Darnold letting him hopefully sit and learn for a while. I do worry about him being able to pick up on KOC's scheme which is so heavily based on timing and anticipation, and the way KOC desperately switched between qb's last season doesn't give me confidence that he will be patient enough to give JJ time to sit and learn before being thrown to the fire.
KFC should not be calling plays and their OC is a drunk. The supporting cast is average.
Don’t think this was a fair video to him. U showed a lot of highlights from his first season as a starter and made it out like that version of him was the Michigan finished product. He definitely has a lot to work on but he took care of the ball, he has shown he can throw in the face of pressure, and he is athletic. I think the biggest thing he needs is more reps which is weird to say about a guy who started 29 games but it’s true. He needs more game reps throwing the ball in game. What is interesting about him, is that usually guys who threw the ball as little as he did don’t have much tape to show of them making NFL plays. He doesn’t have a lot of throws but he makes a lot of NFL plays. The volume of them just isn’t as high as Michael Penix and Caleb since they threw a lot more. He is a unique prospect but that makes sense because Michigan was a unique National Championship team. First team I can remember since Auburn that will have so few 1st round picks. JJ may be their only one. But UM had a lot of quality guys which is why they will break the NFL draft pick record. Not to mention their coach in Harbaugh was unique at the very least 😂

His attitude reminds me a lot of Tom Bradys which he is actually really close with... Not saying he's gonna be the next Tom Brady... But it seems like he's headed in the right direction
His original draft projection of mid to lower half of the first round is probably fair, saying he’s not a first rounder is excessive. The accuracy issues you highlighted I think are somewhat nit-picking when the other top prospects share some of these traits too. I personally don’t think any of the QBs besides Williams are truly top 5 players in the draft. As a Michigan fan I don’t want him to go top 10 and get destroyed beyond a bad line. Somewhere between pick 12 and 20 depending on need feels right.
Please show me anyone projecting him in the first round pre draft spin season - I genuinely can't find a single person claiming that
Nobody called him a first rounder late second-early third was the consensus before the draft spin And Accuracy is not as fixxable as it looks
@@ThinkingFootball The problem is that the only ones projecting draft picks before draft season is the media. Once NFL teams start digging into the film after the season do more accurate models come together.

Best to say he is a raw talent, and that doesn't mean he can't ever be a franchise QB. He's just isn't a complete package right now. He has a potential, the Vikes could use his first season to build him up to be the face of the franchise in the next couple of seasons. He's not it yet, but he very well can be.

I hope all these guys are good. It will make the games so much more enjoyable when there's more than 4 or 5 elite QBs out of 32 teams

Michigan's run game and excellent o-line made JJ's job easier than it otherwise would have been. But he was a good player and improved year over year.

What was tom brady?

Understand these QB’s are at different levels of development. While these first round draft picks show promise, what is difficult to assess is what their ceiling is. The better ones may have a lower ceiling while one that’s that’s not too far behind may have a much higher ceiling. Generally, these guys reach their full potential if they are allowed to set a yr or two, learn the system and benefit from NFL level coaching. But let’s remember that discipline of the field is a big part of the equation. Remember Johnny Football? He had all the talent, all the ability but a big NFL Payday ruined him. Had he had the discipline? He would not only still be in the league but a top tier QB in this league but we have seen this before at other positions and the end result is pretty much the same. Long story short-short the draft is an educated crap shoot. We have seen many number ones go bust and guys like Brady come along and you seriously question the abilities of the scouts.
Sounds a lot like your evaluation of Zack Wilson awhile back tbh
jets ruins every qb they drafted since mark sanchez
Watching his combine highlights I thought same thing this guy is just to much like Zach Wilson. Hopefully he gets better coaching than Wilson .
His movement is far better in the pocket than Zach Wilson, who barely saw any pressure - Zach's athleticism was also restricted to college, where I think McCarthy's can still be a plus in the NFL. JJ also played against substantially better competition - Zachd big year was the COVID year where BYU had to fill their schedule with schools Rutgers would beat 30-0. I thought Zach Wilson was a 6th/7th round guy who would probs be a good scout team QB for a few years, I think McCarthy is probably a 3rd/4th rounder who's ceiling is being Ryan Tannehill in 6-9 years time with good coaching - that's not a first rounder , but he has a better base.
@@ThinkingFootball yea that is facts I would agree that zach had lower competition than JJ but watching zach I would say his athleticism was better than JJ but I haven’t watched JJ as much. Do you think JJ’s play by play choices will be better if he is on a team with a sub par defense because he very well could have been taking risks and shots with Michigan because of their amazing defense

I'm calling it now, thrust him as a day 1 starter, and you have the makings of Trubisky, their games are crazy similar, which is not a good thing at all, especially when you take in account he's being propped up by a fringe legendary coach.
This video is obviously click bait. This is alot of video from his Junior season. Show his senior season where he is much more improved. McCarthy can definitely be a franchise qb if the coaches have patience and let him completely develop. The Vikings have to have patience with JJ. If they do that he can be a heck of a franchise qb. Qbs careers are ruined by putting them in the wrong situations. If Mahomes went to the Bears there is no way he is a franchise qb at this point in his career. Plus, there is no way the Bears would be paying him a $400 million dollar contract. If Justin Fields was drafted into a better situation he would be way better. In Chicago he was running for his life. Then the next season they try and turn him into a pocket passer. Thats teaching the totally wrong things. If he went to a team with a good offensive line he could have been taught to go through his progressions. But he was running for his life. It will be interesting to see if the Steelers are able to turn his career around. Which i believe they definitely can. He's an extremely hard worker and he wants to be successful.
tl;dr: "I'm a delusional Michigan fan"
You're a Michigan fanboy.
Show his senior season? like all the throws in this video from Bowling green, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan State, Purdue, Maryland, Ohio State, Iowa, Bama and Washington? Situation is always king with any prospect - but if you think this video cherry picked you arent paying attention.
Criticize his conclusion to your heart’s content but if you think this guy does click bait, you don’t watch the channel.
The fact that you think most of these videos are from his Junior year is concerning. Has he really not improved from his Junior year😂?
This actually helps me think he WILL be a franchise QB.
Plus last season at michigan the pass blocking was bad. Not like 2022.
Okay, finally someone who sees what I do. I don't even think JJ will be bad. I just think because of all this undue hype he's going to get drafted really high and then be a disappointment and it's no fault of his own. If People were just honest with what they're seeing He would get drafted at a much more appropriate spot
Michigan's line looks pretty good in these highlights. I am skeptical about what McCarthy looks like when he has a sub-par NFL line letting monster defensive ends hunt. I think the game manager label guys are picking up on what you are identifying, but they can't articulate why they don't like him so they throw the label. This draft it's crazy how teams are going to draft QB prospects and let sure bet receivers drop. I just hope the receivers don't slide down to where teams like KC and San Fran can further stack their rosters. McCarthy's upside potential is probably Josh Allen, but I don't expect to see it. Additional note: it's nice to see your channel growing - you put out some of the absolute best analysis out there. Keep up the good work!
I agree he's a project but he does have a lot of upside. I feel like he's going to be one of those players where it's going to depend on where he gets drafted. If he goes to a terrible team, he's probably going to bust. But if he gets with a good coach who can insulate him in his first few seasons, I think he'll turn out all right. He reminds me a lot of RG3. Goodwills good harm but if he goes to a bad team like that, he's going to end up sucking
JJ was protected, the NFL is going to eat him alive. No amount of meditating next to a field goal post is going to help him.
Vikes offensive line is top tier
To me can’t get better at accuracy anticipation or how well you read defenses to me it’s just not enough there to warrant a first round pick if it was 3rd or 4th I think you can live with it to be honest all the Qb’s besides Williams is a stretch if there first round guys
