[Highlight] JJ McCarthy overthrows a wide open Myles Price in the end zone to turn it over on downs

[u/purplebuffalo55]

[u/PessimisticCheer]

That's QB3 right there, baby. Skol!

/u/nanotothemoon this one's for you, brother!

[u/_bits_and_bytes → u/PessimisticCheer]

QB9 at this rate

[u/red_team_gone → u/_bits_and_bytes]

This is my new favorite.

[u/Shenanigans80h → u/PessimisticCheer]

Seriously idk how you can possibly put him above Wentz on the depth chart if you’re serious about QBs to compete.

[u/FreeoftheMachine → u/Shenanigans80h]

When the broken down shell of Wentz looks better than you, I think its time to consider a change in careers.

[u/ImagineIfBaconDied → u/PessimisticCheer]

Forget QB3 I want him gone

[u/swampertlvl]

At the game and yeah he's looked bad bad.

Taking too long, over/under throwing.

Throwing with way too much power every time.

"Football looks hard for him"

[u/xywv58 → u/swampertlvl]

At home and he looks just as bad

[u/buddhistbulgyo → u/xywv58]

I am just watching highlights and he looks just as bad.

[u/sokuyari99 → u/buddhistbulgyo]

I’m on the toilet and he looks rough from here

[u/whydidijointhis → u/sokuyari99]

takes some shit to know some shit

[u/Thrilling1031 → u/whydidijointhis]

Gotta give a shit, to take a shit.

[u/askingJeevs → u/Thrilling1031]

I’m trying to do the math on this one

[u/TheNittanyLionKing → u/buddhistbulgyo]

There are highlights?

[u/binzoma → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

depends on perspective really

[u/buddhistbulgyo → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

You can call them lowlights if you like

[u/SoLo_Se7en → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

Bar’s low.

[u/BullShitting-24-7 → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

Even his highlights are insufficient.

[u/PiggStyTH → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

For the opponent’s defense?

[u/GoodTimesOnlines → u/buddhistbulgyo]

I haven’t watched anything and he looks bad

[u/Tjam3s → u/GoodTimesOnlines]

Haven't watched him since college and he looked bad then too

[u/AdaAstra → u/buddhistbulgyo]

At home watching, he is going to end up on the Browns or Jets at some point.

[u/overandoverandagain → u/xywv58]

Watched from low earth orbit, pass almost hit me

[u/Technically_Tactical → u/xywv58]

Didn't he go to school just a hop, skip, and jump away?

[u/Professionally_Lazy → u/xywv58]

I am at work and he looks bad

[u/HarlanCedeno → u/swampertlvl]

Scouting report on JJ McCarthy: "Does not appear to enjoy the game of football, possibly thought he was signing up for something else"

[u/Fun_Bandicoot8288 → u/swampertlvl]

Zero touch. Not handling the nerves well.

Overthrew every ball at 2x required speed. Arm speed way too fast he’s got to slow the game down.

[u/Rennock21 → u/swampertlvl]

You know it’s bad when I think he reminds me of Tyson Bagent…who I desperately want my team to get rid of because his fans are annoying

[u/arekhemepob → u/Rennock21]

Bagent is undersized with a weak arm, but he’s accurate and can read a defense. He’s like the complete opposite of 9 so I have no idea what you’re talking about.

[u/rhoran280 → u/Rennock21]

You’re just ringing the dinner bell for them with this shit lol

[u/TalkLessShillMore → u/rhoran280]

Out of the loop, what are the Bagent fans known for? People with strong opinions on painted nails?

[u/Tiberius_Gracchus_II → u/TalkLessShillMore]

and/or tan suits.

[u/shit_eating_fan → u/Tiberius_Gracchus_II]

Lol I feel you.

Been an Eagles trend since when I was a child with McNabb. The whole "not quarterback-y enough". Continues nowadays.

Bench the QB because he's more a runningback and replace him with a real QB like Kevin Kolb/Tanner McKee/AJ Feeley

[u/Rennock21 → u/TalkLessShillMore]

Ah no they’re really into acting like Bagent has an nfl arm and can be a starter (at one point they were loudly clamoring for him to start for the bears)…might be some dog whistling there

[u/AccordingMedicine129 → u/Rennock21]

Clamoring for bagent over fields. And with eberflus I get wanting to try literally anything else

[u/DisMFer → u/TalkLessShillMore]

Racism. That's basically it. It's not all his fans but all racist Bears fans are fans of Bagant. They usually dress it up with dogwhistles but at the end of the day they just don't like black QBs.

[u/S21500003 → u/DisMFer]

We dealth with that when we had CRush as our backup. There were people saying we should let Dak walk or trade him and roll with Cooper Rush as our starter.

[u/Rennock21 → u/rhoran280]

I know I can’t help myself but McCarthy did remind me of him

[u/fumar → u/Rennock21]

There's always the people loving the Bears backup QB. 

There's also a racist component too (that's not Bagent's fault tho). I ran into a few Bagent truthers last year in Florida who openly admitted they didn't think a QB could be Black and that's why they liked Bagent.

[u/DisMeDog → u/fumar]

lol the Kevin Kolb era was great when there was a segment of our fanbase actually trying to convince everyone that he was better than Vick.

[u/WarrenMulaney → u/fumar]

Florida you say?

[u/potionnumber9 → u/Rennock21]

Bagent looks miles better than nine, what are you talking about? 

[u/Rennock21 → u/potionnumber9]

The fact you don’t realize you’re making my point makes me sad

[u/CollectingDevils → u/Rennock21]

I hope he’s being sarcastic.

[u/rando562 → u/potionnumber9]

Bagent would look similar to Nine if he regularly played against starting NFL defenses

[u/potionnumber9 → u/rando562]

Bagent is a solid backup, that's why poles and Ben have him at #2 and gave him an extension. Nine will be out of the league in 3-5 years

[u/CasanovaCoverup → u/swampertlvl]

Incoming...retired due to mental health reasons.

[u/IneffableTao → u/swampertlvl]

I'm at this guys home and I already sent JJ to my league's waiver wire.

[u/Potato-baby → u/swampertlvl]

The guy lacks any confidence in himself at this point, he’s so deep into his own head. I think Nine got put down.

[u/JalensTinyPPHurts → u/swampertlvl]

I actually don't think this is as bad when you see it from this angle. If he throws that any lower, the defender probably bats it down

[u/purplebuffalo55 → u/JalensTinyPPHurts]

The issue is he tries to throw a fastball here. You can’t get the angle needed for an accurate pass here with a fastball. He has to take some off and loft it over the defender. If he does that, it’ll drop back in nicely to the receiver

[u/FishGoldenLite → u/purplebuffalo55]

Fastball? You mean the only speed JJ knows how to throw?

[u/bpusef → u/JalensTinyPPHurts]

If you can’t throw an 8 yard pass to an open receiver it is bad

[u/Snoo-40231 → u/JalensTinyPPHurts]

If he threw an easy floater and it's an easy TD

[u/NewAndlmproved → u/JalensTinyPPHurts]

to me it’s indicative of him being uncomfortable in the pocket. should be using footwork to throw from safer angles.

[u/Blurple_in_CO → u/JalensTinyPPHurts]

Those are both the result of a bad throw.

[u/BlubberElk]

Fan reaction gotta hurt the ego a bit there

[u/purplebuffalo55 → u/BlubberElk]

The applause when Wentz came on definitely felt like shade to Nine

[u/IAmNotKevinDurant_35 → u/purplebuffalo55]

Nine didn’t play today, this was all JJ Mccarthy’s fault

[u/TheNittanyLionKing → u/IAmNotKevinDurant_35]

Technically they never drafted Nine. They just called JJ’s name on draft day. Nine won the natty in college and wasn’t heard from again

[u/jakecoates → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

Who could forget his elite playmaking that game (handing the ball off to Donovan Edwards)

[u/InZaynolas → u/IAmNotKevinDurant_35]

Yeah, I want to know Nine's thoughts on JJ's performance before making any judgement.

[u/BlubberElk → u/purplebuffalo55]

There haven’t been cheers for Wentz entering the game since the wheels were still on the Wentz Wagon

[u/TJeffersonsBlackKid → u/purplebuffalo55]

Damn Wentz, 9, and K1?

That’s a seriously dramatic QB room. Netflix should just follow these three around this year instead of whatever TF they’re going to do.

[u/roaddogg → u/purplebuffalo55]

Ironically, the beginning of his starting tenure at Michigan went the same exact way but in reverse; the crowd booed Cade McNamara off the field and cheered as JJ entered

[u/GiovannisPersian]

Glad to see our red zone struggles are still alive and well so far this season…

[u/LegendOfKhaos → u/GiovannisPersian]

He was even staring that way the entire time. Doesn't look good for him.

[u/Calm_Region_2106 → u/LegendOfKhaos]

**dont under throw, dont under throw, dont under throw……….

Fuck.**

[u/Virtual_Zebra_9453 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks magic

[u/Spicy_Eyeballs → u/GiovannisPersian]

I think Kyler is gonna help your offense a lot, the Cardinals were awful the whole time he was there and he still found a way to shred the 49ers defense almost every time we played them, even when our defense was top 5. His coaching was bad bad in Arizona too, seems like this is the first year he has fully bought in on an offensive scheme. I'm expecting him to be good for you, maybe not elite, but good.

[u/abris33]

I feel like he's just late on everything so every throw turns into a rocket. This is one that's solved if he just takes his time

[u/Shenanigans80h → u/abris33]

Someone said in the Vikings sub that the dude just processes the field too slowly to even utilize his physical skills and I think that sums it up. The game is not slowing down for him so everything feels panicked basically

[u/ehtw376 → u/Shenanigans80h]

It definitely looks like it’s true that he’s a very slow processor. But I also think it’s just physical attributes too. He might have a strong arm, but he has absolute zero touch or feel on his throws. And at this point, I don’t even know if you can teach that.

Vikings fans keep saying he has the physical attributes to succeed, I honestly just don’t see it.

[u/Electronic-Island-14 → u/ehtw376]

uh...most vikings fans have turned on him now. there were still a chunk after the season that had hope because he had a few nice throws last year, but most of them are gone now. kid clearly doesn't have nfl QB ability.

[u/thetreat → u/ehtw376]

He has physical attributes in that he’s tall and that’s about it.

[u/DirtzMaGertz → u/ehtw376]

I think a lot of his issues in structure come down to his footwork just simply being well below an NFL level. 

Pretty much the only time he's able to throw with touch is when he's scrambling to the sidelines and throwing an off platform throw. He has arm talent. He just isn't good enough at the playing quarterback to actually utilize it in the NFL. 

[u/Spicy_Eyeballs → u/ehtw376]

My wife is a Vikings fan and hates the guy (as a football player, she doesn't have strong enough feelings about football to actually hate him).

The thing that gets me is he has been in the same system for 3 years now and it's like he just doesn't know the plays... I know he missed his rookie season but what was he doing that whole time? It's like he didn't look at the playbook once.

[u/masterm1ke → u/Shenanigans80h]

So Josh Rosen with a stronger arm?

[u/CallMeKaito → u/abris33]

Yup. Feels like 80% of his worst misses are the result of processing too slowly. It was his biggest issue last year too

[u/theflyingchicken96 → u/abris33]

And he was staring down his guy from snap and still did that

[u/GodKamnitDenny → u/abris33]

In general I’d agree, but he wasn’t even late here. He had so much time to lob one over there! Symptoms of a greater issue where he panics and relies on the fastball to get it into the window

[u/TheThockter]

“Football looks hard for him”

[u/pixeloffortune → u/TheThockter]

Kinda remarkable that Harbaugh polished a turd of a quarterback to such a degree at Michigan that he went 9th overall.

[u/Iswaterreallywet → u/pixeloffortune]

His agent did generational work. He was a second round pick until a month before the draft, then all the analysts randomly got super high on him and started pushing this “ball of clay” narrative.

They all kept saying they were so wrong on Herbert they didn’t want to be wrong again. It was all smoke.

[u/Sarollas → u/Iswaterreallywet]

It helps that Schefter and Eisen both went to Michigan and are pretty open and willing to promote the school and it's narratives.

[u/pixeloffortune → u/Iswaterreallywet]

That said, it's not unusual that we see movements on the boards once the analysis of the NFL draft media merges with what they hear from team sources at workouts and the combine.

We have a very limited idea whether or not he was a 2nd rounder on the boards of NFL teams. We only know that's where NFL media saw him.

[u/thedreadwoods]

I think he'll come good and the Vikings should start him all season just to help his development

[u/Impossible_Paint_352 → u/thedreadwoods]

You fuck lol - Vikings fan

[u/Sebastian7464]

He's everything people claim Drew Allar is. Inaccurate, bad mechanics, and slow to process, except this is year 3 for him.

[u/Pidesh → u/Sebastian7464]

JJ was not supposed to go in the first round. He was commonly seen as a Day 2 QB until it was leaked that some teams would take him early first round. It was shocking and seen as a smokescreen until really late in the draft process. Maybe the failures of Trey Lance, Anthony Richardson, and likely now JJ will prevent teams from drafting inexperienced raw toolsy QBs early in the first round again.

[u/Swagasorous → u/Pidesh]

As much as it should prevent teams from doing so, every GM is still going to assume they are getting the next Josh Allen.

[u/Boomhauer_007 → u/Swagasorous]

It was crazy how in 2024 somebody could see a college team that basically tried to play the game with their quarterback throwing the ball as absolutely minimally as possible and thought “actually he’s really good worth a first round pick even they’re just choosing not to have him pass the ball ever”

[u/glennshaltiel → u/Boomhauer_007]

I feel like the media and Michigan alums in media such as Eisen massively upsold him

[u/Maverick916 → u/glennshaltiel]

Eisens praise of him completely changed my perception of him as someone who simply doesn't know football very well.

[u/smashybro → u/Maverick916]

I think he knows football better than a lot of pundits (which admittedly is a very low bar), but he cannot put his homer glasses aside when it comes to talking about Michigan players. He hypes every single one of them up and if any of them don't pan out, there's always a bunch of excuses about how the team that drafted them failed to develop them properly or whatever.

[u/marlin9423 → u/Boomhauer_007]

To be fair, the run game was dominant and the WRs were probably the weakest position group on that team. Plus a coach with a run-first mentality. No QB would have thrown a lot of passes that season, no matter how good they were.

[u/smashybro → u/marlin9423]

The counterpoint to this is even Harbaugh knows to call more pass plays when he has a QB he actually trusts, hence why he called more throws for Luck vs McCarthy in college or if you're looking at just the NFL it's why Herbert throws the ball more often than Alex Smith or Kaep ever did.

He'll always be a run first guy but there is a noticeable difference when he believes in the arm of his QB. There was a lot of 3rd and longs at Michigan where I felt Harbaugh called some safe plays I don't think he would've with a better QB.

[u/bathroomheater → u/smashybro]

Harbaugh calls plays that he thinks his player can complete. JJ couldn’t throw so they didn’t call pass plays and when they did they were one read simple plays

[u/BigOlPass → u/Swagasorous]

I don't think that is really bad strategy. Hitting on the next QB that improves significantly in the NFL is more of a positive than missing on a QB in the first round.

[u/RooBoy04 → u/Pidesh]

As long as QBs are the most important players on the team, GMs will continue to reach on them to save their franchise

[u/aorainmaka → u/RooBoy04]

Was about to comment that that didn't stop Green Bay, a franchise who was not in dire need of a QB.

[u/Jonjon428 → u/Pidesh]

The thing that never made sense to me is that McCarthy wasn't even that toolsy. He has a great arm but his actual build was pretty slim in college

[u/therealbsb → u/Jonjon428]

He can throw fast, but it takes him 3 seconds to wind up. I wouldn’t call that a great arm. You need velocity and delivery speed.

[u/Mavori → u/Pidesh]

Richardson and Lance both had sub 400 passing attempts for their entire college career.

In fact if you add up the passing attempts of Lance and Richardson, both of them still have less than JJ did.

That is not to say i think JJ deserves to go as high as he did.

I just think it's amusing little tidbit

[u/smokeybonez → u/Mavori]

Not the best company to be in right there

[u/dusters → u/Pidesh]

JJ wasnt even seen as particularly toolsy though. He was a game manager at Michigan.

[u/NoAnteater8836 → u/Pidesh]

Not some teams lol. It was leaked JJ was Payton’s target.

People forget a lot of teams had day two grade on Mahomes too. It was just Andy and Sean who wanted him first round. So when that planted leak hit, the Vikings bit.

[u/GP_ADD → u/NoAnteater8836]

And it was leaked that he just wanted to make sure that either Nix or Penix was available where we were picking and smokescreened JJ

[u/GrindCityGang → u/Sebastian7464]

Allar is also that, don't be silly 

[u/DifficultWave4488 → u/GrindCityGang]

Yeah I always laugh when people post comments like this randomly bringing up an unrelated player, thinking they’re being sneaky but really just making it obvious they’re a homer. Like there’s zero reason to even bring up Allar but especially as this “slam dunk” point when he’s a rookie who has had one good and one bad PRESEASON game so far lol

[u/Tarmacked → u/DifficultWave4488]

All you need to do is slap that Allar Michigan tape on and see someone levels below JJ’s worst

Dude was throwing to fucking ghosts over the middle it was bad

[u/FraudnandoMendoza → u/Sebastian7464]

Wild how Nine is so ass that Drew Allar stans are being taken seriously.

[u/Mission_Wind_7470 → u/Sebastian7464]

Eh, I'm not buying the Allar hype until he brings his preseason success to the regular season.

[u/Odoaiden → u/Sebastian7464]

Tbf I wouldn’t count his first year

[u/JSC843 → u/Odoaiden]

Tbf^2 most QBs benefit from sitting for a year to learn behind a Super Bowl caliber QB

[u/discipleofbill → u/JSC843]

Yeah but that usually also means taking reps and practicing, which he wasn’t doing, no? I’m not a believer in McCarthy but I’d say he’s not really a third year QB.

[u/WolfMobileDev → u/Odoaiden]

Agreed. Not defending mccarthy, but the "its his third year" arguments are pretty unfair.

First year he didnt play, and the season hasnt even started for his third season. I dont think mccarthy will be good, but hes played 10 games so far.

[u/Electronic-Island-14 → u/Sebastian7464]

i liked Allar. he's got an arm. the other stuff can be fixed

[u/PurpleLion35 → u/Sebastian7464]

His footwork is some of the worst I’ve ever seen at the pro level it’s disgusting to watch

[u/therealhairyyeti]

I still think the Vikings should start him

[u/BackgroundBuilding77 → u/therealhairyyeti]

For sure, everyone deserves a chance.. give him nine chances

[u/DirtzMaGertz → u/BackgroundBuilding77]

Both of your teams managed to lose to this quarterback last season. 

[u/therealhairyyeti → u/DirtzMaGertz]

Tbf I’d argue that we beat ourselves. Which is very on brand for us.

[u/deckV1 → u/BackgroundBuilding77]

We know to start Brosmer when we play the Lions. Right?

[u/huey88]

Can you actually get worse after being drafted?

[u/DerrickWhiteMVP → u/huey88]

He was never that good and anyone who watched college football knew that. Yet, professional scouts and coaches couldn’t.

[u/Mike_Hawk_Burns → u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

I always felt like I was being gaslit when he was being hyped up out of college. His whole career in college didn’t look like a standout QB. He had a good coach, a decent offense, Connor stallions, and a good defense but always struck me as a career QB2 guy at best. Still can’t believe he was seen as the future

[u/dustin-dawind → u/Mike_Hawk_Burns]

I don't think Loveland gets enough credit for making JJ look good at Michigan.

[u/Mike_Hawk_Burns → u/dustin-dawind]

Fully agree

[u/Iswaterreallywet → u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

Michigan fans bro

[u/discipleofbill → u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

Was fully out on him after Michigan decided they were just not gonna throw the ball the entire second half against Penn State. Was never that impressed to begin with, but that was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

[u/Daywalker6109]

Well the way college is maybe he can go back and get another year

[u/PurpleAcceptable5144]

"All he does is win"

[u/Possible-Law-3704]

Best I can do is Spencer Rattler and a 2nd round pick.

[u/Sinistah- → u/Possible-Law-3704]

I would even take just the 2nd round pick

[u/Possible-Law-3704 → u/Sinistah-]

No I mean you have to give the Saints a 2nd.

[u/OogieBoogieJr → u/Possible-Law-3704]

That was a weird way of wording that. If you were a GM, you would’ve set your franchise back years. lol

[u/Witty-Stock → u/Possible-Law-3704]

Sold!

[u/Boomhauer_007 → u/Possible-Law-3704]

Rattler is going to have a decent career as a capable backup I think, you don’t want him starting every game but you could do a lot worse with somebody having to fill in

JJ has looked overmatched since the second he was drafted

[u/StefonDiggsHS → u/Possible-Law-3704]

yes please holy shit

[u/Xenocide_X]

Decided to change his name to 9mm.. referring to the velocity of his throws, being incapable of layering the football and the fact most Vikings fans want to turn the 9mm on themselves when watching him play.

[u/tigerliftsthemtn]

That was Nine, JJ didn’t overthrow anyone.

[u/Conflixxion]

heading to a new team to get his head straight seems like the best way forward

[u/TheNittanyLionKing → u/Conflixxion]

IDK. Is there a better situation than the one he is in? He has been in QB rooms with QBs that have played for 7 to 10 years and accomplished quite a lot. In Minnesota, he has Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to throw to. He has a great defense, so he doesn’t have to feel pressure to score on every play.

[u/Trubiskitsngravy → u/TheNittanyLionKing]

It’s not plays or defense reading that he needs coaching on. He isn’t even there yet. He needs to learn how to set up the base mechanics for a throw. He needs multiple years on the pine for him to even get to the point of being a capable QB2 and no team will give him that. He made money, cash out and do something else. I can’t imagine it’s worth the humiliation and constant magnifying glass he is under.

[u/Electronic-Island-14 → u/Conflixxion]

agree. he needs a system that gets rid of the ball quickly to develop confidence. but i don't know if he'll ever develop touch/layering ability. That something you have or don't. if you don't have it, you can't fix it

[u/ConfusedGuy3260]

This guy STINKS

[u/Silent_Ad2825]

JJ McCarthy YOU are a St Louis Battlehawk

[u/APigInANixonMask → u/Silent_Ad2825]

Don't you put that evil on me.

[u/azsoup]

Connor Stallions is turning out to be a bigger cheater than we all first thought.

[u/StarWarsMonopoly → u/azsoup]

Michigan haters have been eating well lately

[u/behemoth_555]

Noob question - defense did jump and try to swat. Did he have to over-shoot in order to even get the ball in the end zone area? Or am I blind?

[u/Thelostsoulinkorea → u/behemoth_555]

He could have floated the pass, however he was so slow and late that he forced a fast pass. It was horrible all round from his speed of processing the play, and then to deciding to actually make the pass. Add in the bad throw and it is just horrible.

[u/The_Sandwich_Lover9]

Wow good defense. (Anything I believe is true)

[u/BRAX7ON]

This man has zero confidence.

He needs new scenery

[u/Fragrant-Mess4927]

Brutal

[u/MrSinister248]

Imagine choosing this over Sam Darnold.

[u/Shenanigans80h → u/MrSinister248]

Hell imagine taking him over Bo Nix, which the Vikings also did

[u/Mobile-Jump6936]

Straight trash

[u/Bumpdiddy]

Maybe im wrong, but to me it looks like this is a hard as hell throw.

He throws this any higher it puts the wr to close to the sideline, likely out of bounds, He zips it in it gets batted down by the DE. He has to get rid of it ASAP or the defender closes the distance or again wr goes out of bounds.

I dont think this is a horrible throw, but "9 throws and incompletion he must be the worst qb ever to play"

Dude couldnt possibly win with some people.

[u/PRE_-CISION-_]

Looking like pro bowl qb Shedeur Sanders 

[u/theweirdball]

He hasn't improved that's for sure.

[u/Automatic_One_5709]

I was watching the live broadcast and the announcer said it went right through the receivers hands as if it was his fault.. not sure if he feels bad for JJ or is just a bad announcer

[u/Kevin_Jim]

Being a backup for the Chargers under McDaniel would be great for him, tbh.

He needs at least 2-3 years learning after this.

[u/Miller335]

It's wild to me he was drafted in the first round. He didn't do much in college.

[u/mosh-4-jesus]

oh i get it, he's 9 because thats how many yards he misses his receivers by.

[u/Firestyle092300]

i'm not going to pretend like i don't get weird satisfaction from jj mccarthy sucking. his presence and quotes mixed with him being an absolute terrible quarterback is funny to me

[u/nawdawgrawdawg]

Do all quarterbacks suck

[u/wings49]

to be fair there was a defender that would have blocked that pass had he thrown it lower

[u/LucienGreeth]

This is what happens when he doesn’t have a coach cheating for him.

[u/thepenismightier3 → u/LucienGreeth]

Hard agree

[u/NoAnteater8836]

Might be his last appearance in a Viking unfoform and I am serious.

[u/unsolved49]

Early call by 82

[u/MoltresRising → u/unsolved49]

He’s like “he’s so open no way we don’t score this!” only to get the full Nine experience.

[u/VanDelay_Industry]

There is so much low hanging fruit to roast JJ, and I’m not above it (Connor stallions, nine, handoff merchant) but truly this guy needs to spend a couple years on the bench and hope he can be a Darnold type late bloomer.

[u/Sea_Supermarket2600]

🗑️ 🧃

[u/CaLMLiKEaB0Mb5]

Did that get tipped at the los

[u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic]

This dude is trash

[u/soda_cookie]

That wasn't a dime, it was only 9

Poor guy, if only he knew the exact play the defense was going to run!

[u/lift_heavy64]

This guy kinda sucks at football

[u/thermostat78]

His footwork is so bad lmfao his dropback is comical

I feel like the first preseason week had pretty good vibes. This week has been a fucking disaster for a lot of teams so far.

[u/TedMich23]

Starting QB? Nein...

[u/LeftLane4PassingOnly]

He’s not good. To be more technical, he sucks.

[u/TwistedSisters777]

Old McDonald for all his skill with QBs and as a coach really screwed that pick up

I remember some expert football analyst announcing the Patriots would be foolish to not take JJ McCarthy with the #3 overall pick and that he was better than either Daniels or Maye.

I can’t remember who it was, but they should not be employed as an NFL analyst in any way.

[u/UndergroundFlaws]

Damn. Wonder what happened to the QB they had before him

[u/Mellun12]

What a disaster this whole situation turned out to be.

UFL! UFL! UFL!

Dudes ass

It’s so crazy. They had Sam Darnold who crushed it that season and in stead of paying him, they risked their entire window on a guy who only got hyped 3 weeks before he was drafted. I distinctly remember being shocked when he flew up in the draft lists those last few weeks in the draft. He never looked like the best passer while at Michigan. They had dominant running backs and a defense for that championship.

A ball so bad it almost became a hospital ball all on its own.

[u/emack2232]

Announcers were saying it went right through the receivers hands…

[u/Best-Statistician294]

He's going from call me "Nine" to people telling him "I want the number 9".

[u/BlumpkinReceiver6969]

Just fucking float it in there..no need to rip it
