J.J. McCarthy Rookie Minicamp Practice Highlights

Let's see how confident and accurate he looks when there is an actually defense coming at him in anger. I'm not saying he can't or won't, but merely that I find it amusing so many fans (of all teams, every year) go gaga when they see a rookie in shorts throwing with no threat or pressure in a practice against other rookies.

I know people sight Baker Mayfield or Goff turnaround as their hope for Sam Darnold but Baker was a good QB with Cleveland n Goff has been good to excellent most of his career with Rams/Detroit. Darnold on the other hand has had several opportunities...played enough games...he is what he is at this point. A very solid back up and an average to below average starting QB. JJ is your only chance on catching Detroit or GB

[@BoomBoomSkol2016]

He'll be ready, and why would you feel bad? Sam signed expecting this backup role.

​@1xB4IDieMN well he's gonna be inaccurate early on because KC and McCown want him to set his feet differently from college. JJ talked about it already so I think once he gets the new setup with his feet and throwing motion he will do a lot better

Yes some throws were a bit in front but that’s called leading the target and it prevents an interception and also allows for more space from a defender to get more yards after the catch.

[@swabee4843]

Keep your receiver's feet on the ground, let's not tee them up for a thirsty safety. Now let's go get a couple SB rings! SKOL

[@kft590]

A simple way to teach McCarthy or any QB to take something off of a throw is to use a volleyball netting which simulates the linebackers jumping up to block the pass and a backboard setup behind the netting which simulates a narrow catch radius beyond the linebackers. You throw over the netting trying to hit the backboard. This is a simple way for McCarthy to practice the throws on his own, you can't drop the throw in there if you are throwing really hard.

[@larrysmclean1948]

I can see JJ running wildcat plays during the regular season, but I think he needs sit awhile and learn. A lot of "experts" said he didn't throw as much as other college QBs, but that's because Harbaugh ran a "run it down their throats" with a big offensive line , and play solid defense. As a Michigan fan, I've seen him make NFL thread the needle throws, and his accuracy is outstanding. You Vikings fans are getting a superb athlete that doesn't give a shit about his stats, he just wants to win, and will do whatever the coaching staff needs him to do. It's gonna be hilarious watching Aidan Hutchinson trying to sack JJ 😂 Good luck!
