J.J. McCarthy is ‘the ultimate winner’, Next Patriots QB, How good is Jayden Daniels? | THE HERD

Michigan HC Sherrone Moore said that J.J McCarthy is “the ultimate winner”. Colin Cowherd and Mark Sanchez ask if this will translate over to the NFL. Plus, they discuss what makes Jayden Daniels an exciting prospect and which QB in the 2024 NFL Draft class has the highest ceiling and which one should go to the New England Patriots.

I love how Sanchez breaks the game down. He’s a good conversationalist.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

Mark is the best analyst today. Breaks it down , good insight, funny.

McCarthys agents have been working hard this past week. Its starting to remind me of Levis

Overtime fr

[@aliali-ce3yf]

yes! that is exactly who its reminding me of

[@romain8390]

In what way does it remind you of Levis? Something that happened last year?

[@wpl8275]

What did Levi win? Someone explain to me what did Maye do to deserve to be picked 3rd or 2nd? Nothing. He had a worse year than in 2022. In 2022 his team started out 9-1 and then they lost the last 4. Last year they started out at 6-0 and finished 8-5. JJ McCarthy went 27-1. The only loss he had was in the semi final game. Maye had no real pressure and still couldn't be better this year. No pressure and still he lost 9 of his last 11 games. McCarthy had all kinds of pressure and went undefeated this year.

I was just saying the same thing he’s a bust watch.. we got 14 quarterbacks coming into this year draft this is amazing half of those studs are badass

[@df6148]

Jayden Daniel’s reminds me of RG3. Great talent. Tons of potential. But just doesn’t know when to go down. There’s a highlight tape of BIG HITS he’s taken. You don’t invest the bank in a player like this. Not as a QB. Unless you want him active for half the season.

[@domleon7343]

Also, five-year starter. He's close to his ceiling.

[@mattcarberry368]

i've been saying this whole time, i've never seen a QB who literally jumps INTO contact the way Jayden consistently does, it's like a deer leaping into traffic lol if he doesn't change that on day 1 of his NFL career, he'll figure out why it stands for "Not For Long"

[@mozukoolaidman9475]

[@ricktrombley5235]

[@scottrowlandrowland1098]

I totally agree, the only great quality for mccarthy is he was only asked to throw the ball on 3rd and longs for the most part when everyone know you're throwing, and he still did really well. To me he still has a lot of development but seems to have the talent.

[@PeterDahu]

People looking for Brock Purdy

[@piyushdeshpande5475]

The difference is when coaches and GMs start looking at the tape of prospects, which is after the end of the NFL season because they’re focusing on their own teams before then. Also, actually meeting with the prospects can change opinions. It seems like coaches and GMs like JJ much more than scouts and draft analysts do.

[@RB-.-]

According to cbs sports mock drafts. they're not the ones evaluating the players or making the picks

[@michaelhillary6810]

[@TH3N3XTKB24]

JJ totally elevated u of m. Cade was not the guy and as soon as JJ took his spot, we became a legit contender.

[@SteveSmith-zj2hz]

Totally disagree w/most of Sanchez opinion. Most of the best QBs sat for at least a year and developed. Teams waste QB talent every year with their impatience & ruin possible franchise QBs. QBs take development. It's bad enough that bad franchises ruin QBs that are already ready to start. But compound the failure rate w/incompetence? That's why there's only a couple QBs out of each class that make it.

[@TurnOffYourTV]

Mark brings the Noise. Super Show.

[@ghettosuperstar.__9315]

Drake Maye > Jayden. Idc about the damn school Josh Allen played at Wyoming lol mahomes played for terrible Texas tech. List goes on. Drake Maye also has 100 yard rushing games. Mark talks about new offense. Drake Maye played in a new offense this yr and still put up really good numbers lol. This was Jaydens second yr in LSU system. I like Jayden but Drake is the QB. UNC went 8-4 last yr go back and watch those games. You take Drake Maye off that team they’re 2-10. That’s elevating a team

[@SteveSmith-zj2hz]

McCarthy has a lot of potential but needs 2 or 3 or so years to develop.

[@jasonjanisewski78]

The way he talks about Minn's Offensive Players, you would think they are the 99 Rams or 07 Pats lol. They have 1 All Pro and a decent number of solid players.

Geez, Mark's got some big damn ears. A lot more personable than he seemed during his playing years. He has a good personality. He's obviously a pretty smart dude. Good for him.

[@larrylindgren9484]

JJ is a winner with a low ceiling but a higher floor. Being a winner don't make you a great QB. Hard to not win where he was at in college. Put any of the top QB there and they are so called winners.

[@YaraMej]

Why no matching video of Daniels here ?

[@TheJazzJackRabbit]

The Sanchize’s QB camp.

[@johnvfx143]

One thing you can't knock JJ McCarthy about is his footwork. He has great footwork. He also pulled a lot of 3rd and long's off with conversions for 1st downs with his arm.

[@alex042687]

All the Alabama QBs in the Saban era were "ultimate winners" too. . .

[@mozukoolaidman9475]

My only problem is that Minnesota has Aaron jones and not very reliable(injury prone) and has no one to back him up. So you have to have a good run game to be able to do play action effectively. I think a guy like Bo nix or Micheal penix is better suited for the Vikings.Especially long term. Could get them at 11 and could use 23 to build your defense back up

[@ryanbain618]

Only 1% of these QBs from any draft year pans out.........the numbers dont lie!!

[@user-cx6dr5ql4q]

McCarthy reminds me of another Patriots QB. Yep, Mac Jones was a winner coming out of college. Won a natty, got talked about as a possible top three pick. Was even considered by some (can't find them now) to be the next Brady. Of course, a solid rookie year couldn't hide the truth about the kid. He was easily overwhelmed. Lacked footwork, wasn't a great thrower. All those 'intangibles' didn't matter once he was asked to actually WIN games rather than just not lose them.

[@user-iq6cc3df3l]

I’ll bet some sports physics guy has worked it out. There must be an equation that tells you the minimum possible release time for a QB as a function of arm angle. Without working it out the more overhand the throwing motion the farther the QB’s hand has to travel, lengthening the release. With a side-arm motion the distance can be abbreviated partially because the QB doesn’t have to take the ball back far. I can see it in my head without knowing numbers. But guys like Marino and especially Philip Rivers had more side-arm motions. Philip might have the quickest release ever perhaps; Tua and Rodgers are up there. Without looking at Jayden again he certainly doesn’t have the side-armed delivery of Rivers. I would guess though that the more side-arm the lower the delivery which increases the chance the pass gets blocked at the line of scrimmage. I think Marino had a tendency to get passes knocked down although I don’t have those numbers either. So it’s a trade off I think. (Oh. I bring this up in response to Mark discussing Jayden’s delivery I think although I’ve lost his exact words.)

Amen you can sit a year but you need to sit while watching a proven veteran that knows the play calling. I’m just looking at my Vikings and think even if they draft a qb see how darnold is in camp but with QB thin they may get thrown in very early bc the weapons they will have

Plenty of teams have won Superbowls with having a Elite quarter back. I rather build out a Elite Defense, first. Special Teams next. Then the least of my worries would be QB. These Teams really don't know how to build out a good offense, Hence their Problem. Even a decent QB becomes a bad one.

Finally someone in the National Media is being realistic about JJ. He really should’ve been able to produce on that team. The coaches took the ball out of his hands and ran the ball when it mattered most. He wasn’t trusted to consistently make throws in that offense.

[@timr1235]

Bryce Young was the ultimate winner too ... put JJ on the Panthers and see how much winning he does ... this is a highly-flawed method of evaluating a QB for the NFl and has failed many more times than it has succeeded ... The big question is "Can JJ throw into a tight spot on 3rd and long?" and nothing I have seen from him, not even 1 throw in college, suggests he can do it... Brady, Brees, Manning... they all could do it and its what made them Hall of Famers

A great game manager for lack of a better word and was best handing the ball off.
