He’s so bad. Getting to 100 yds passing seems like a massive hurdle. It’s like watching a Les Miles’ offense

I watched about 5 minutes of the game, and Greg Olsen was breaking down JJ’s mechanics to explain why he literally can not throw to the left side of the field with any accuracy.

I watched McCarthy in College. I thought he was a Terrible QB. But, he goes to the combine and looks good in shorts and a T-Shirt so the Vikes select him as their Franchise QB. Somewhere along the lines people have to actually watching these kids play games.

Ya'll tripping. JJ meditating under the goalposts before games gave him an edge to have the crispiest handoffs in the collegiate game. Definitely a translatable skill you have to have in the pros.

Maybe the Vikings should hire Connor Stallions to help him read defenses.

Michigan knew the opponents plays and still ran the ball a majority of the time. That’s how fricking bad of a passer he was in college. None of this is surprising.

People really try to act like that Michigan team was one of the best of all time Their starting QB, the most important position in football, was not top 10,000 all time at the position

So many scouts/personnel people, along with TV analysts like Mel Kiper and Daniel Jeremiah, think that they know more than they really do.
