If JJ has 1 flaw, it's that he'll occassionally go full Justin Fields & force 10/10 difficulty throws (and often succeed anyway - at the college level anyway) when a layup is available. That said, in 5 years when we re-evaluate this QB class, I bet he's top 3...and I wouldn't be surprised if he's #1. And no, I'm not a Michigan fan.

Seems like the Vikings with 2 Studs Wr's would be a great fit.

JJ is THE clutch QB of the 2024 draft

Finally someone understands it. McCarthy was under tremendous pressure to win at UM. Maye was under no pressure to win at UNC. None. And still he lost all 4 of his final games in 2022 and 5 of his final 7 games in 2023. McCarthy won both games against OSU while Maye lost both games against instate rival NC State. Maye inherited an 8-5 team and went 17-9 with it. In the business world that's called no value added. Meanwhile McCarthy went 27-1 and his only loss was in the national semi final game.

JJ is a lock in the top 10. Highly likely top 5. Would not be surprised if he is in the top 3. Regardless, IMO, he has a chance to be the top QB in this draft... if he has the right situation. Crazy that media "experts" say definitively that Maye is a better passer, even though JJ completed 240 passes last year and Maye somehow was "astronomically higher" 269. JJ had a higher passer efficiency rating, higher completion rate, higher yards per attempt and lower int/game. JJ threw the third fasest ball ever at the combine, 61 MPH, even though mwdia experts have told us his arm was a question mark. He ran a 4.58 40. He won at least 6 games that were biggest than Maye even played in. JJ is also younger than Maye.

Falcons fan here. I would actually love for the Falcons to pick JJ McCarthy at #8 if he’s there. He wouldn’t have to start and can learn from Kirk Cousins for a couple years (like the Green Bay model). It’s a way of extending a Cousins level QB beyond 2 years by transferring that knowledge and how to prepare. Everyone wants the Falcons to pick Dallas Turner but honestly I don’t know if he’s going to be a dominant edge player. If there was a Bosa or Hutchinson there then take him. But I think they have an opportunity to set up the QB position for a decade.

He's a little older for the GB model, but honestly that only matters at the back end of his career and honestly as a team you should be drafting a new QB every few years anyway. The true value is in learning behind a guy who knows what he's doing. That's why a lot of rookies fail is there's no continuity in front of them. Green Bay back in the 90's had Mark Brunell and Matt Hasselbeck behind Brett Favre long before Aaron Rodgers, and those guys went on to star in the league.

He'll be the most successful NFL QB of this class.

Do you know what confirmation bias is? It’s when you only listen to information that supports a belief you already have and only question information that doesn’t support it.

“JJ didn’t have a lot of yards” he didn’t play in the 4th quarter at all in the first 8 games, got hurt against Penn State, could barely walk the next week and still gritted it out, beat OSU again with insane throws into tiny windows, the td to Roman Wilson he said he saw the safety’s tendency on film to turn his head so he knew he had the throw open shows he’s cerebral in film watching. He wasn’t healthy until the Bama game where Michigan continued to keep Bama in a game that should’ve been a blowout, two muffed punts, a big td run given up by the defense, JJ one handing an errant throw from Donovan Edwards, and casually launching it 35 yards downfield off his back foot with Dallas Turner in his lap, then proceeded to lead a game tying drive with a critical 4th and 2 pass from his own 27 yard line. His biggest flaw is throwing every pass like it needs to be 100mph when some passes could use some touch, which can easily be fixed with a competent qb coach, and holding the ball too long and not taking throwaways which can also be easily fixed. JJ will be the top qb in this draft mark my words.

Every winning quarterback in the NFL that you can name had great players around him and to hang the game manager monitor around JJ’s neck is to completely ignore his talent and abilities.

I honestly don't have anything to hang this on. But I have this feeling he's going to be a REALLY GOOD NFL QB. It's not because the Vikings drafted him and they're my team. As a Viking fan you are tuned to think and feel the opposite. But the only 2 QBs in the draft I have any confidence in are McCarthy and Penix. I've seen more Penix stuff than McCarthy. I don't know how he'll do. Nor does anyone else and all the kid can do is go out and do his best. A lot more higher profile and more highly touted, sure thing draft picks have screwed the pooch and not come close to the hype in the NFL. Vince Young, Sam Darnold, Ryan Leaf, Todd Marinovich, Tim Couch, Jeff George.

The guy has shown he steps up when he is needed. He can be a gunslinger if that’s what’s needed. Be that said I think Michigan hurt him by not passing in the 2nd half of Penn St. game. He was not the same confident player he was before. Up til then I thought he was the leading Heisman candidate. But he came back to himself during the playoffs. I’ve noticed he is a really good QB with his back turned on play action, he totally reminds me of Brady then. Also he doesn’t get enough credit for his arm strength he can really sling it on deep throws over the middle.

...and Bryce Young went to a Panthers team that was....struggling, to put it nicely. Absolutely no comparison to the situation that McCarthy landed in with the Vikings. Every other QB in this year's draft would have chosen to go to Minnesota instead of where they wound up (maybe even over any other team in the league, with a couple exceptions), without hesitation, if they could. I bet that if Bryce Young had landed in a similar situation to what McCarthy did, he would have been far more successful as a result. I don't mean any disrespect towards Carolina, or their fans, but come on. Anyone who's being completely honest with themselves can admit that being drafted by that Panthers team clearly hindered Young's success.

Rich, I love ya buddy. But… this whole argument about him, not complaining about having to hand the ball off a lot… That is quite literally the easiest day at the office for any QB ever. Why in the world would he hate that. Cruising to a win by doing nothing? Who wouldn’t want that???!

JJ McCarty might be great for a WR like Tyree Hill. Someone fast who can get collage separation in open spaces. He has a rocket arm for getting the ball there quick. Its Jake Maye foe someone like Justin Jefferson who relies on his body control and going up and attacking the ball. McCarthy throws it to hard and has no arc on the ball. There not a good match. Stuff like that only gets scouted by the teams.

What! The run game and O-line were not as good last year. 169 yards per game. 4 individual 100-yard games by Corum (3) and Edwards (1). Most of Corum's 27 TDS were from inside the 5-yard line. They were not running up and down the field all year. When they added extra blockers on the line (PSU) is when it opened up for Michigan.

JJ isn't the reason Michigan was winning. It was the rest of the team. Classic case of great team so the QB must be great too. Nope. Sometimes you get a Phil Simms. The best game manager in NFL history. Only 1 season where he reached 4000 yards passing. Only 4 seasons where he surpassed 20 TD passes. Yet he gets boosted for being on a team that happened to win a super bowls.

Maybe let’s not quote Brett Favre 😂

At 7:55, John Beck gave Brock Purdy the 2023 MVP award that was won by Lamar Jackson. Note: Jackson was the only All-Pro from the Raven's offense. Purdy looked at five All-Pros in the offensive huddle, he wasn't one himself.

Too myopic to see the flaw in your own logic. Wasn’t needed? When is a QB needed more than on 3rd and long? When it’s an obvious passing down and you have to convert otherwise the other team gets the ball back is when a QB is needed the most. You said stats don’t lie. On 3rd and 4 or more to go, JJ was: 48/67 71.6 % 662 yds 6 tDs and 33 first downs. Only 9 of his completions weren’t a TD or a first down . He is actually a big reason they were able to make it as far as they did because of his consistent ability to keep the chains moving on 3rd down. Your own logic just worked against you but you’ll come up with a way to discredit that because you just don’t like JJ. Edit: was also 7/8 87.5% for 82 yards 1TD and 7 first downs on 4th down 😂.
