Best throw of the game is at 4:42. I don't dislike him, but there's really just not much to say about this. I like how decisive he seems to be. He's at least confident in his scheme, and that is a good thing. I'll need to watch more to see what the system is like, but there really wasn't much to evaluate here because of how many throws are scripted like they are. A full third of his completions were designed swings and screens. He's a dang good athlete, but he's rarely asked to thrown downfield. He completed two passes that traveled more than 10 yards. That's not sustainable in the NFL. I need to see more of this scheme and more of McCarthy. Just too many question marks.

[@RB-.-]

Im sorry but all I see is Steelers Kenny Pickett + Desmond Ridder + a little bit of Zach Wilson gunslinger moxie. Effective at not screwing things up on a stacked team but what happens when he's on the Broncos and he's at Arrowhead or something. The idea I guess is to invest and believe he'll get better as he gets older.

[@andrewcarlson4402]

He has no fear going over the middle

[@andrewcarlson4402]

Top QB's in the draft to me? 1. Daniels 2. Williams 3. Penix 4. Maye 5. McCarthy

[@greekosdarkness]

Why would he? He isn't the one getting hit

[@to-tx2sz]

Big JJ fan, the two nits I had from this game: 3:47 this throw should have been layered over the LB/S. He got lucky here - I know he said he knew the LB would turn around but I don't buy that at all lol 7:26 I thought he should have ripped this one to the left of the LB and between the safeties to Wilson on the post route rather than taking the checkdown to Barner Overall a good game, OSU's pass rush+coverage were winning their reps against Michigan's guys

[@germanicusternus1982]

The strength of their team was definitely not their receivers lol.

[@lathanjoblin]

For sure agree abt the read at 7:26 but tbf he had already moved on from that progression when the receiver was still in double coverage. I actually do believe the point about the lb turning around at 3:47 because his hips are turning already before JJ gets into a full throwing motion. Thank you for the point abt 7:26 tho I totally didn’t catch that haha.

JJ McCarthy can be a really good one in the nfl.

[@MwKShield1]

I've watched two of his games now, the other vs Bama, and I just don't understand why anyone puts a first round grade on this guy. He lives off the dink and dunk and anything past 10 yards seems to be a serious hit or miss for him. He has some legs but everyone in college has legs. I don't see anything special.

[@Big10footballjunkies]

He will be a 1st rounder for sure. The NFL scouts will love him as he has very good accuracy, has the size, speed, arm strength, but the other thing he has is the intangibles. Anyone around him just raves about him as a person, leader and positive influence around the team. Unless he doesnt do well in the interviews or the work outs I dont think he will make it past the #15 pick. Just my opinion.

[@MwKShield1]

@@Big10footballjunkies I don't agree at all. Idk about him as a leader but he does not have what it takes. His ceiling is Jimmy G at best. Dude can't make a throw past 10 yards to save his life. Just in these highlights of this game he missed on multiple targets. We will just have to agree to disagree I guess. Thanks for the video

Watching jj. He might a top 2 qb going into the nfl draft. That throw at 3.49 is an absolute beauty. Knows the coverage they are in. So he knows he doesn't have to worry about the defenders turning around

[@tylerwilliams1784]

Ive never seen something so wrong lol

[@lepromisedmonke7012]

Thats getting picked 9/10 times in the nfl and 5/10 times in college. He got incredibly lucky

[@user-yi1jl1tf1n]

@lepromisedmonke7012 yeah you haven't watched any brett favre jordan love or patrick mahomes highlights

[@user-yi1jl1tf1n]

It's called an anticipation throw. He motions the wr to identify if it's man or zone. Once he realizes it's man. He knows the defender is watching the wr instead of the qb Could the defender break the coverage and look back sure. He does for a second before looking back on the wr, and he has no time to react due to the speed of the ball It's basic football

[@MKhan-zo8xo]

9/10 times in the NFL that's a pick. if that's the type of high risk play JJ is good at, he's no better than Zach WIlson

[@jettcapson2]

People gonna hate but jj is a top 15 pick imo

The best mock drafter over the last like 10 years is Charlie Campbell of Walter Football and he has JJ at 5 overall.

🥱🥱 I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see anything special about McCarthy

[@Big10footballjunkies]

I wish we could have seen him in a usc, Oregon, Washington type of system. He has everything you as a QB but throws so much less at Michigan than another school. He has the IT factor but need to put it all together.

[@isaacperry8195]

Literally any running qb could have done this guy's job. It's Literally all screen pass, first reaf throw, run. Nothing more

[@Big10footballjunkies]

NFL scouts are disagreeing with people who think that. Where he is drafted should tell us exactly what the teams are thinking about him.

[@user-zd3bt6ms2h]

​@Big10footballjunkies I'll take your word for it man. I could be 100% wrong and I'll be fine with that but I've watched every throw he's made this year. And what I said isn't true 100 percent of the from what I watched it is true 90 plus percent of the time.

Lol sorry bud but that is not possible. You vacate wins for having illegal players and such. Michigan didn't have their coach, linebacker coach or the sign stealing guy. So sorry bud, that will never happen.

@@Big10footballjunkies I’m sorry but are you allowed to play while having an official LLC partnership with a staff member?

@_________. except he didn't. Blake knew nothing of this and denied any affiliation to Stalions in any way. As soon as it was discovered Blake had his lawyer take care of it. These are facts bud. Just be happy with the recruits and transfers OSU got this year to look like the best team on paper going into spring ball. Should run the table with the collective talent they have.

@@Big10footballjunkies so you’re suggesting stalions forged his signature and made the comment on Corums Instagram about the LLC?

@@_________. LOL I am not suggesting anything. I am saying Blake and his lawyer both said he knew nothing about it before the 6th or 7th of Nov and NOT 1 SINGLE ARTICLE or REPORTER has suggested otherwise since that date.

[@KillTheBoxScore]

From where I am sitting he's a Blake Bortles clone but actually a good athlete for position, whereas Blake was just chalked up to be one but never was. He should absolutely go back to school but if he gets to sit for 1+ years in league it will go a long way towards him maximizing whatever potential he may have.

[@Big10footballjunkies]

Blake Bortles? JJ doesn't look or play like Bortles did. JJ has made more big time level throws through 2 years of college than Bortles did for his entire college and pro career. JJ was also very banged up in this game. I think JJ will come back and it should help him being under Campbell for another year. Plus it should help Orji a ton as well so he can either take over or compete with Davis for a starting job when JJ leaves.
