Welcome to Minnesota JJ McCarthy, gonna be fun watching JJ to JJ before too long 👏🏻. SKÒL Vikings

[@omar.Lo714]

I’d say we’ll see him around week 5 or so once Sam start fucking shit up

[@Kube_Dog]

I was actually excited to see what Darnold can do in a good environment as a clear starter, but now I'm even more optimistic with JJM. JJJ is such as good security blanket for the rookie, he's got a good coach, plus it's a similar system as he had at Michigan. Vikings go 17-0 with their first Super Bowl.

[@trhansen3244]

Not a very strong arm. Not very accurate. His delivery is very very slow. His foot speed is average. Not a fast runner. Takes a shockingly long time to read defensive coverage. He will be back up for a year or two and then the Vikings will have to cut him.

[@ericrarama5803]

@@trhansen3244 I beg to disagree with your perspective! I am not sure what footage you're watching..

[@Kube_Dog]

@@trhansen3244 Your hate is real, y'all.

[@Obeify]

McCarthy looks better than most QBs from the draft. His highlights he is going through reads, he doesn’t have Wide receivers with 20 yards separation in blown coverage he is going through reads and hitting the guys in stride.

[@Obeify]

@@BoopyGooseI can tell you like to speak in hyperbole. I watched the first 20 clips, which was right at halfway through the video. There was 16 pass plays in though 16 pass plays 2 of them his receiver had more than 3 yards of separation. In one of those it looked roughly like 3 yards and in the other it was about 5 or 6 yards in the other 14 passes the defender was within 2 yards in most cases barely out of arms reach of the ball. Lets assume that rate is doubled through the rest of the clips that would mean out of potentially 50 pass plays maybe 8 of them are to a wide open man, where as that’s every single play in a Caleb Williams highlight Edit: I watched the entire video back, there was 7 total passes where the receiver had 3+ yards of separation and an 8th where the receiver had to stop for the ball otherwise he should have had 3 yards. There was only 1 play with 10 yards of separation and actually literally 0 with 20 yards.

[@BoopyGoose]

ok beast, you're right

[@000JonnyBoothworthy]

He's I can see him making these throws to contested JJ & and up the sidelines to Addison also hitting Hock on plays he extends with his feet ... only thing will be how quickly he adapts to game speed

[@Obeify]

@@000JonnyBoothworthy You never really know for sure. But from the tape I’ve seen he looks more ready than the QBs that went before him. I’m a Patriots fan, and I’m happy with Maye, but I think JJ would have been a safer bet

Hey Vikings fans, I think we got a Quarterback that can win a Super Bowl or two.

[@RSTI191]

I just finished watching Drake Maye highlights. I gotta go with McCarthy. The first highlight had me sold. This kid throws the ball with moxie behind. No hesitation, just lets it rip. Total confidence in his ability. I hope the Pat's snag this kid..

[@MrBacchus18]

I watched just the highlights, I'm no expert but Maye was more impressive to me especially physically. I won't cry if the Patriots take McCarthy, the scouts jobs are on the line.

[@RSTI191]

@@MrBacchus18 Watch again and compare both arms..McCarthy has an arm like Dan Marino and John Elway.. There's no 2nd guessing, no hesitation, no apprehension. 1 - The kid throws with hot sauce.. 2 - He came out of Michigan. 3 - He won the College Super Bowl. 4 - He was coached by Jim Harbaugh 5 - In addition to playing football, he grew up playing hockey which moves at a higher velocity than football thus one has to be quicker on the feet, assess, think and execute much faster and take the hits along the boards. ( I played ice hockey growing up in the Northeast when I was a kid) I don't know Maye's background, and I don't watch college football, however from I've seen here on Y/T, I think he's overhyped Forget the polling.. Brady smashed that into oblivion forever going in the 6th round. If Daniels and Maye weren't around, McCarthy would be a first round contender.. Just my 2.5 cents..

[@TuaTagovailoaTouchdowns]

McCarthy showed good potential. A lot of these highlights could be NFL highlights. The reads, ability to extend the play or throw when the line collapses, and ball placement against tight coverage could all carry over.

[@jeremyalger2828]

NFL ready? If you watch all of these highlights look at the level of opponent. Look how much time he has to make a pass against how inferior some of these opponents are. I could stand back there and make a throw if I had to with that much time. This dude goes to the NFL, he's gonna have 3-4 secs at best to make a throw. Can you show me a highlight reel where he's constantly under duress making throws in 3 seconds or less in an entire game?

As a Vikings fan I'd be fine with either, but JJ we're more likely to get.

I agree with this. JJ is as good as it gets. He’s only clouded because he got less ops. Hope that makes him fall

Cause he is Drake Mayes ball placement is insane

[@DeputyDong420]

Then there’s probably a lot that’s beyond if you don’t see why people think Maye is better lol. McCarthy was carried sadly and will have to have the same security in the NFL to succeed

[@R00sterf1sh]

@@DeputyDong420 what faulty logic. If Tom Brady could win a game throwing 0 passes he would have done it. And if Michigan goes undefeated with a strategy you can’t criticize it. What important is what he did with his ops. And McCarthys split stats are great. Best QB under pressure, 2nd fastest arm (would be third faster of all active players in the NFL), 4.45 speed, great accuracy, natural born leader, minimal mistakes in the splits. Maye is 1 inch taller, and throws 1MPH faster. Nothing makes me think I’d rather have 3 less 1st round picks and Maye, vs all those picks + McCarthy. Sure if both are available at 11 I’d take Maye with a minor edge. But that’s not reality.

[@asnmvet08]

Reminds me of Purdy a little bit. Only difference is he played for a marquee school.

[@The_Milianaire]

If McCarthy stayed another year he'd be the first overall pick in 2025, plain and simple. Literally only 21 years old and he's gaming like this. You can see he isn't just ad-libbing out there, he understands where the play is going and super poised. Washington needs to make him the second overall pick. Jayden Daniels will be injury prone and there are so many questions marks surrounding Maye.

[@itisnottaken4444]

@@R00sterf1sh delusional? Chicago has DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Cole Kmet, Deandre Swift, and they bolstered the O line as well. This doesn’t include the massive leap the defense made in the second half of the year when they traded for Montez Sweat. And they’re going to get even better with whomever they pick at 9. Vikings are hanging their hats on an aging Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson who’s currently holding out. Bears were two games out the playoffs without all the pieces they added and now they’re getting even better.

[@R00sterf1sh]

@@itisnottaken4444 Jefferson isn’t holding out.. and yes, you rifled off a bunch of mediocre players. Sorry to burst your bubble. Vikings have Jefferson, Addision, Hockenson, and Chandler. Every one of those is better than the subsequent player on the bears. Vikings have better tackles, better guards, bears have a better center… Viking have a better coach. GMs seem too early to tell. And the bears run pedo rings in their office, have coaches arrested mid season. Ship off QBs that they try to tout as the best thing since sliced bread until the next draft. We’ve heard this continually from bears fans. Ooooh Mitch Trubiskty, ooooh Fields, oooooh Williams, ohhhhh cutler. Ohhhh Kyle Orton. Bears franchise sucks.
