Back here for my final College Series StudyBall, J.J. McCarthy part two. So, we watched him against Purdue, kind of his biggest game with over 300 yards and over 30 pass attempts. Hard to find that throughout the rest of the season. But, as I was going through tape to try to find another that shows the big picture of who he is, so I jumped at the Maryland tape after watching them play that game. So, we're gonna jump into that today, and we're gonna continue to look at the things that we saw in game number one: his poise in the pocket, his ability to attack down the field, the big throws down the field, good decision-making, and then we want to continue to check the accuracy. Was accuracy just about that one game, right? It was the one game that he threw a whole bunch, so we saw some accuracy issues. Do those things show up the same sort of way? Good, and question mark. Do they show up in each and every tape that we watch? #jjmccarthy #nfldraft #nfl

The maryland game was a game he had a serious knee injury following the penn state game, He was in pain in the entire game and played on guts only.

McCarthy, I've been told by other commenters, suffered a right leg injury early in the Penn State game. He did not practice the following week, and was not expected to play against Maryland due to his physician reports, but aparently it was one of those types of injuries that would not get worse if McCarthy played against Maryland, and J.J. insisted he wanted to play, and the coaches let him. As a result, the Maryland game is not indicative of the abilities of a healthy J.J. McCarthy. He had trouble planting and throwing off his right leg. The game is, however, a good indicator of his mental toughness and his ability to play with pain when he's not 100%.

Word from a member of the coaching staff is that at half-time J.J. with tears running down his cheeks told his dad, (who wanted him to get an MRI) I'm playing!

@WoodyGoBlue Ай бұрын

Yeah he didn’t practice the entire week before this game due to a leg injury suffered during the Penn State game (also why they chose to run 32 straight times) but I wouldn’t expect an analyst to do his homework and find that out, like very few seem to have done lol

Well, isn't the knock on Maye similar? I think both QB's have question marks but I think Maye might have the edge.

@marty5300 Ай бұрын

Kurt, the flat throws seem to be JJ's biggest negative, do you think they are correctable at the next level? I would think stuff like that would be easier to correct than fundamentals like footwork.. Guys trying to relearn the basics (Williams) plus the new offense and speed of the pro game seem to be too much to handle. but I'm just some guy, not a HOF SB winning qb. What do you think? Can fastball throwers like JJ be coached to take it easy sometimes at the next level? Is that an easier fix, or is it easier to correct basics like footwork at the NFL level for a guy like Maye?

Not a great game for him, to be honest. Misreads and accuracy issues. Running right out of a completely clean pocket with an open receiver right in front of him. Multiple missed INTs before finally throwing the INT. He has zero touch as well, only knows how to throw the heater. I think he's better overall than he showed here, but yeah, this one was pretty rough.

A majority of the comments are super defensive about mccarthy's performance and using his injury as an excuse but regardless if he had a hurt knee thats not an excuse for making bad decisions with the ball and overthrowing guys wide open. However, I've watched every game he had this year so I know this was his worst game by FAR. A bad game like this happens and its no need to overreact like a lot of you are

@davidking6554 Ай бұрын

If he can learn to feather the ball and put some air under it he could be a good pro QB. He’s definitely a work in progress but has some very good skills and characteristics too.

@lordjimbo2 Ай бұрын

If a QB has a thin frame it's important to see how he performs when he's really banged up, like he was in this game. He's going to get beat up in the pros and if this is the kind of performance he puts on with a clean pocket against a bottom-dweller like Maryland, what's going to happen against the Baltimore Ravens?

@@to-tx2sz And no longer runs at scouting events. His walk around weight is shy or around 200. That's not the big issue here though. It's whether or not he can be more coordinated on throws that aren't directly in front of him where he can gauge the target and drive the ball. Watch his tape. He turns down throws outside the numbers. He has borderline reckless confidence when he's throwing between the numbers.

McCarthy isn’t worth two 1st round picks let alone the three that the Cardinals and Chargers fans expect. If Maye is available then we can talk, but McCarthy is a top 2nd round talent who is projected to be severely over-drafted.

@@jona.scholt4362 This narrative is nonsense. They scored 13 points to that point.

Saves an INT on an inaccurate throw 1st & goal - run 2nd & goal - play action screen - wide open no read So they ran it 4 times and threw it 4 times. He made 2 throws past 3 yards and both were inaccurate and could have been picked. They didn’t lean on him like he’s Joe Montana or Brady at the end of a game bro.

Why didn't fans hype other Michigan QB's this way? Well, I'll tell you. He has that it factor, high football IQ, leader, winner, willpower in spades, confident, athletic, clutch, tough as nails, unselfish, extreme work ethic (study and training), and is obsessed with being great. Kinda hard to fail when you're born with all that. Just like yourself a lot of fans don't have the observational skills needed to analyze talent.
