JJ McCarthy Just Declared for the Draft

[SeaWolv]

JJ is not an NFL QB.

Well this comment didn't age well and all the McCarthy doubters can start to see that they might be wrong about him.

“I got a text from an NFL evaluator, very respected one saying, ‘Of all these guys, McCarthy translates to the NFL the most.' He had an outstanding day out here.”

The thing about JJ, is the fact that he's so small and weak.

If he gets sacked by some DL 2x he would be out for the remainder of the season.

You would want someone 225-230 LBS. The kid was like 200's in Michigan, and now I'm hearing he added weight, he's not used to this. Should had stayed in College 1 more season.

Your still missing it huh bro!? The kid is legit. Yes he is young only 21, and 6'3". Sit behind a vet for a year, and add 25lb, and watch what he is capable of. He still ain't getting out of the 1st round. Just hold your bet until after the draft. But please be a man, and pay up.

Uh...

Just me, or is he having some marked issues throwing to the left side of the field there?

Some of those were outright misfires

My comment will age extremely well. It’s not like i’m going out on a limb, he’s not a top 10 pick. He’s got a great arm, I don’t doubt he’ll get drafted. Every single guy at the combine has some respected scout salivating over their tools.

Appreciate the video link. His passes feel underwhelming with the exception of the deep corner routes, those looked perfect. I remain skeptical that he is going to be a good NFL QB.

All of them have flaws. All of them, even the top three. Last year people were harping on Stroud's test scores, and he had arguably the best rookie season for a qb ever. I think you have to take a macro view and look at the overall package and what they project to be, not just what they are today. They will get stronger and get coached up in the NFL. But, it's hard to correct poor decision making and Inability to process. Thankfully JJ, Nix and Penix are all good in those areas, with Penix perhaps the weakest of the three in that regard, given that his default when in trouble is to launch a bomb instead of a check down. JJ's accuracy wasn't great on those left side routes. I'm sure that's correctable. Overall however he did well. Nix would be ready day one. He's seen it all.

Bro you said he isn't an NFL quarterback and now an NFL evaluator is saying his skills translate to the NFL better than any of the other QB's in the draft. You comment is clearly false. I never said he'd go top 10, I've maintained since my OP that he's a 1st round draft prospect.

 

[WarHawks]

I'm surprised Nix isn't getting more play. Is it because of his age? What can't he do?

You have a right to your opinion but consider this, he threw the ball at 61 mph. The only prospect faster was Milton who's considered by many to have an arm cannon. Not sure what's isn't impressive about that. The go routes are a lot about chemistry and knowing what your receiver is capable of but he clearly has the arm strength.

Also, for those saying he has issues throwing the left that's not entirely accurate. He threw 6 out routes to the left side and of those 2 were clear misses by the receivers (the ball was right on their hands), 2 he made perfectly and 2 he missed. Part of that is not being synched up with the receivers but if there are issues with footwork that is totally fixable.

…J.J. McCarthywas the consensus top-ranking quarterback to perform in Indianapolis.

Unnamed NFL evaluator is full of shit

 

[WarHawks]

He will be gone well before 16. I've seen mocks with Atlanta taking him at 8.

 

[SonicHawk]

That would be great news for the Seahawks.

 

[WarHawks]

Yeah, because having a young qb who would probably be the #1 pick next year and who could sit behind Geno and develop into a high ceiling qbotf would be so horrible.

Kaepernick and his cannon say hi. It's fine that you love JJ, but your arguments are very underwhelming.

Unnamed NFL evaluator also thought Rick Mirer would be a great NFL QB. Guy was over throwing his WR in shorts, no pressure on him. Same stuff we saw on film. Except NfL DBs will pick those.

Same con be said for your arguments, or lack there of. There kinda like reading the back of of a cereal box honestly, Lotta blah blah, and nothing of real value?

That's right, triple down...

Mirer didn't participate in the combine.
