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.*

- 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
  - I don’t think it’s weird at all to have different reactions to different personalities…. - By Poster P August 29, 2026 at 08:42:12 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
  - 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. - By Ev August 29, 2026 at 07:24:40 PM
