.@Realrclark25 reacted to the Vikings taking J.J. McCarthy at No. 10 😯
JJ McCarthy was in Michigan a game manager but that was because he didn’t have to do much. Minnesota was actually the best place for him given their offensive weapons. JJ McCarthy can make all the throws is cool under pressure and has a good head on his shoulders. Is he going to be Drake May or Caleb Williams or even Jaden Daniels? No. But, he is perfect for Minnesota.
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 I don’t think he’s going to be very good, but he’s in a good situation with the Vikings
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 The bottom line is no one knows how many of these QBs will be good in the NFL. Everyone was way off on Purdy, Brady, Warner, Wilson .... not to mention a huge list of those that were drafted high and ended up average.
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 This can be blamed on Gettleman and his sorry run as the GM. He drafted poorly and signed players to big contracts while no one was competing with them for those players who didn't work out, and he onky made one trade that worked in their favor.
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 Both teams made a mistake not drafting Penix. The ceiling he showed in the semis was incredible. Any QB pick is a crap shoot, but the return with him if you are right is way higher than anyone but Williams. ( I never saw Daniels so I don’t judge him).
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 NY should have drafted any of the top tier QBs ( I’d opt for Penix). Jones is terrible. He has no poise, no vision , non of those qualities that mean success . You can see who has it and who doesn’t. Like Justin Fields, there is a large enough body of work to say both are busts.
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 That’s why Mike T. is not a GM anymore. The Giants made the right pick.
@GetUpESPN @Realrclark25 Ryan Clark has blinders on thinking that JJ McCarthy is Daniel Jones… Too many of these talking heads follow group think. Any serious evaluator isn’t referencing a Pro Day or what a coach says to the media about a QB. Same guy told you that Dwayne Haskins was a special QB…
