Colin Cowherd: Why You Should not Draft J.J. McCarthy
Colin Cowherd: “I’d say about each third draft there’s a ‘star’ quarterback that’s going to be a first-round quarterback and I simply do not get it. Tebow, Johnny Manziel, Mitch Trubisky, Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson — I simply did not get it, and I used to be proper on all of them.
Do not confuse that with Baker Mayfield. I stated ‘that is a beginning quarterback within the NFL.’ I nonetheless suppose he is one of many 20 finest quarterbacks on the planet. I assumed he was a bit immature, I did not suppose he was able to be a primary choose, I did not suppose he was that gifted; I assumed it was a attain. Daniel Jones I did not purchase in any respect, however Baker has expertise. He would not have been the man I’d have drafted primary, however he is received expertise, do not confuse with that.
My quarterback this yr that could be a ‘star’ and I don’t get it’s J.J. McCarthy of Michigan. I feel he’s Mitch Trubisky with a greater school coach. He’s cell, he’s a pleasant child, however his ball dies, and he misses straightforward stuff; he misses too many layups. Except his ft are pointed in the correct route, he’s set, he’s received time, and he can look down his receiver, he’s not that correct constantly. I simply don’t see it.
What I simply described: safety, your ft are set, you’ve received every part able to ship, you’ve received area… That’s MICHIGAN, that’s not the NFL. At Michigan you had excellent safety. The child received sacked virtually by no means. In 13-14 video games I feel he received sacked like 17 occasions, as soon as a sport. He performed with the lead, he had a run-game – that’s NOT the NFL. What are you when stuff implodes, when you must throw transferring left, or uncomfortable in a muddy pocket? Even Drew Brees who did not have the large arm and wasn’t hyper-athletic, or Brady, we’re always transferring inside the pocket, and always having to throw once they have been uncomfortable. That’s not Michigan. McCarthy is just not that huge, his arm is fairly common.
This was The Ringer‘s Ben Solak on J.J. McCarthy:
‘There are some actual purple flags on his profile. I discovered his accuracy to the skin actually wanting, particularly to the left. His velocity begins to tail off. The purple flags don’t preclude J.J. from NFL success, however they make him appear a little bit scheme-specific.’
It’s very Trubisky, that’s what I see, which is worrisome and his mechanics begin to crumble as effectively. I feel he works in Minnesota with Kevin O’Connell, Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson, and a fantastic left sort out. I feel he can work in Minnesota however I don’t suppose he’s a high 5 man ever, and I see a variety of Trubisky. He’s my ‘I DON’T SEE IT’ quarterback, I’ll say it proper now. I like Caleb and Jayden Daniels. I get the traits of Drake Maye, I feel Bo Nix works if he will get Sean Payton, I feel Penix can work if he can get Mike McDaniel, or that Seattle scenario the place the school OC is the Seahawks OC. However the JJ one; boy, it is received to land excellent for it to work for my part.
Jordan Palmer, who does this for a dwelling; he is labored with Mahomes, Allen, and Burrow — right here have been his ideas on JJ McCarthy as a prospect:
‘Earlier than every sport at Michigan when Harbaugh is hitting his pads and all that stuff in pregame, there was an understanding that they have been going to hurry for over 250 yards that day. Had we seen video games that they requested him to throw it 40 occasions and he simply accomplished half of them and threw two picks, then it might be completely different, however that by no means occurred. If you’re drafting anybody on the high you must make assumptions as a result of we will not see how they have been within the NFL. Totally different than in free company the place you possibly can actually have a look at the way you stack up towards NFL defenses. We will not do this within the Draft. That is why it is an imperfect science.’
I feel Jordan has the identical issues I do, I talked to an NFL scout final night time. He is my ‘I do not fairly see it.’ Not saying it will possibly’t work, however it might all should line up completely to work to any diploma. That is my opinion on JJ McCarthy.
Watch Colin Cowherd of FS1’s The Herd clarify why he doesn’t perceive the hype round former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy, saying a man like McCarthy that lacks dimension and who throws a ball ‘that dies’ shouldn’t warrant a first-round grade, not to mention somebody who is perhaps chosen within the high three of Thursday’s 2024 NFL Draft.
Take a look at the phase above as Colin compares McCarthy to former busts the likes of Tim Tebow, Johnny Manziel, and Zach Wilson, saying McCarthy’s sport reminds him of NFL punchline Mitch Trubisky, who was the primary quarterback chosen in a 2017 Draft that noticed him picked forward of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
