Bill Simmons or Colin Cowherd said that QBs who get a ton of hype and see their draft stock skyrocket in the months after the end of the college football season and before the draft usually end up being busts. Seems like that was the case with Trey Lance, Zach Wilson and now JJ McCarthy.

It almost always happens, and teams keep falling for it. :dead:

This is an all time bad draft pick

And they lost even more by not trading him after Darnold’s season.
I cannot for the life of me think of why they'd say "nah these 14 wins just weren't enough to prove we can get better this upcoming season, let's roll the dice on a guy, coming off a season ending injury, that threw the ball 8 times a game in college"

Only the Vikings GM watched a game where this guy didn’t throw a pass in the second half of a close game on the road and thought, “that’s my guy!”

Nah Trey Lance had hype the year before. Issue with him was he lived off that hype. He could transferred elsewhere and played his sophomore season, but decided to live off his RS FR season.

Zach Wilson had hype from that year, but again that was a Covid year. All those QBs look funny now.

I wanna feel bad, but when you unveil the whole goofy Nine thing you're inviting shyt like this. Just like Underwood saying we ain't never seen a QB like him, Caleb being extra sassy last year... You gotta move like a politician if you a QB these days
I think Underwood could have been like that elsewhere though. He might have got humbled by the time he got to the NFL like Caleb, but breh wildly underestimated just how outdated Michigan's pass offense is. He might be talented to overcome a Harbaugh less Michigan team, but we'll see.

As much as I give Lincoln Riley shyt...Caleb should thank his lucky stars he chose to follow him at USC instead of going to Wisconsin. Almost let short term money put his career up in the air.

All valid, everybody gonna face some obstacles. Just saying guys like Ward who play it straight and just say they gonna put in work to be the best, get some grace when they go thru struggles. Kids gotta realize as QBs folks like me looking to put a target on your back

TYRONE GA!
I never crown QB’s too early or write them off too early, but I feel pretty confident that I’d rather have Tommy Cutlets start for the Patriots than McCarthy. Hell, it might be drastic, but I’d even consider Nathan Peterman over McCarthy back when he was playing.

Man, bring out the Peterman :mjlol:

Bro, respectfully, you are clueless.

BU grades at the top of most advanced metrics against other P4 true freshmen starters, grades as an average P4 QB overall (an achievement for a 18 year old), and is 9-2 with a shot at the playoffs.

Theres redzone issues and drops issues tied to 1. Michigan being the youngest team in the Big ten 2. inherited WR corp from the Harbaugh era. Chip Lindsey doesnt run an "outdated pass offense" and you don't need an air raid offense or your QB throwing it 30-40 x a game to develop him into a good NFL QB.

Once again, Ohio runs a QB friendly system and its bust on arrival when they get to the NFL.

Only been 4 13-win seasons in Viking history, 8 if you want to include the 12-win seasons back in the late 60s/70s.

Team in obvious win now mode that let their starting QB walk for an unproven handoff merchant :picard:

A lot of other holes in that team that got exacerbated because of how bad Nine is. :mjlol:

"handoff merchant" is mad disrespectful :mjlol:
