Film Review: Analyzing QB J.J. McCarthy’s Fit With the Patriots

7 comments

1. This dude went undefeated, won the chip, ran an NFL style offense, threw more times than Jayden Daniels, is the youngest of all the top QB’s, and showed excellent leadership and resilience throughout the season. But this sub doesn’t want him because he has the same haircut as Zach Wilson 🤡🤡🤡

2. It’s not that I hate this guy, he just seems like a FAT reach at pick 3. And I don’t think trading down with him in mind is a reliable option either. If they made some deal with MN and he slips then why not, but I don’t see that happening.

3. JJ Mccarthy is the above average student in school that still is compelled to look at the answers before the test.

4. I understand why Kevin O’Connell and MIN are linked so hard to McCarthy. The skill set and “plug-and-play” appeal is obvious. Yes, McCarthy has issues with “2 and 3”, but QB coaches think they can fix those kind of issues with technique and scheme. And talent around him.

   I will be disappointed if McCarthy is the pick over Maye or Daniels because despite the age and intangibles and the possibility he can be fixed…we don’t have talent to elevate him. If that’s the ceiling – Brock Purdy is good! – then JJ is the wrong guy for the Patriots.

5. (Michigan fan and Patriots fan here) All this QB shit don’t matter if our O line can actually block and not get penalties every other play.

6. His 2 min highlight video on YouTube is just as impressive as the other top QBs. But let’s all pretend we all watch 20hrs of film on each guy and claim this one would be overdrafted at 3.

7. No.
