He was perfect for those M teams. A great player for what they needed him to do. I’d probably take him as best M QB of my lifetime (excludes Leach). The “Nine” thing last year was so embarrassing, and playing like shit made it 10 times worse.

He needs to shut the fuck up and get to work wherever he ends up. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up as a low-to-mid-level starter somewhere in a few years. He’s tough, athletic, decent arm, etc.

Back to the board

- I still love him, but I remember thinking at the time that I wouldn’t be able to stand him if he wasn’t at Michigan.* - By Ev August 29, 2026 at 07:15:19 PM
  - Yea, exactly. Seems like he’s be a real pain to hang out with but he was a very good college player* - By Poster P August 29, 2026 at 08:08:36 PM
- Worked well for college. Not sure NFL qbs can be counted on to just deliver 15-20 high leverage plays. Maybe with creative coach. Hopefully he gets better and makes it work* - By harbaughdyssey August 29, 2026 at 07:04:40 PM
- Seems weird to me. JJ, Mikey, Corum…those guys were all extremely likable*** - By Craig August 29, 2026 at 06:38:10 PM

  - He is auditioning a new schtick * - By tem August 29, 2026 at 07:00:39 PM
- Why? JJ didn't chase stats. He cared obsessively about winning a National Championship ("the main thing") and worked selflessly toward that goal.* - By Rose Bowl Champion August 29, 2026 at 06:16:25 PM

    - 2023 JJ McCarthy should've thrown for 4000+ passing yards and 35+ TDs. But with the new clock rules, Harbaugh decided to play a slow-as-molasses tempo. (We were bottom 3 in pace with 61 plays per game on offense). Unsurprisingly, JJ didn't even break 3000 passing yards in 15 games.* - By Rose Bowl Champion August 29, 2026 at 08:00:19 PM
