Thumbs up if you like him, thumbs down if you’d pass

[kft]

McCarthy's conversion rate on 3rd and long was close to the highest in college history.

[Hughie]

JJ on 3rd and 7+ (where he ranks amongst draft class:

14.8% of pass attempts (1st)
73% completion percentage (2nd)
544 yards (2nd)
6 TDs (1st)
0 INTs (T-1st)
149.15 passer rating (1st)


This notion that they didnt trust him is absolutely wild lol

[braxtynnovinsky]

JJ was statistically one of the if not the best qb on 3rd and long so that argument is kinda a wash

[michaelyeomans]

JJ was the best qb in college football on 3rd and long. Completion percentage tds and YPA.

[kenbash]

There was a guy who only played for 2 seasons at Michigan. People said- they didn't have enough tape on him, wasn't asked to do that much, only started 16 games- that guy's name- Tom Brady.

[dasportsseal]

First play wasn’t an INT because the defender jumped from out of bounds

[stan]

You mentioned he ranked in the #60s on third down passing attempts. You should also mention his third down passing efficiency rating, which is off the charts. It’s less to do with trust—they put the game in his hands multiple times over two seasons—and more about doubt in their pass protection, particularly later in the season.

They moved Carson Barnhart to the interior and replaced him with Trente Jones to fix this, but were still apprehensive about pass pro—you’ll see in several of their blocking calls in this game.

[barnuner]

I believe he was statistically by far the best of the top draft QBs on third down and third and long. He can definitely do it.

[gregorymurphey]

Saying JJ was low on third down yards is super misleading. His yards per attempt and compleation rating on third down were almost the best in college football

[joelblock]

NFL teams care most about McCarthy’s performances in the OSU and playoff games the last 2 years. He made mistakes, but bounced back from his mistakes, made critical 3rd and 4th down plays when they counted the most in the 2nd half. He will be a top 5 pick.

[Zane_Zaminsky]

He has great poise at such a young age. I see great NFL potential for J.J.

[andrewisble]

McCarthy ranked 66th on 3rd down passing because they saw a lot of 3rd and short. That's one reason why being able to run the ball is so important.

[NatetheGreat]

I’d rather have a QB peaking in the NFL, not college, ie: Brady

[richardmccarthy]

Great vixeo, but I i will say regarding the third down pass attempt stats, its important to remember Michigan dominated the vast majority of their schedule. JJ didnt even play in the 4th quarter of something like 7 games. I believe they won like 11 games by 20+. Harbaugh isn't a coach that looked to run up the score or rack up stats so in those games where UM was comfortably ahead they typically were content to just work the clock and run the ball. When JJ waa needed to make plays, especially on 3rd down, he was very good.

[JacobFaunce]

Speaking to the 3rd down problem you brought up, hes top 5 in 3rd down competition %. His attempts were lower due to how many 3rd and shorts Michigan had and their steller run game.

[a_goblue]

The two passes to Corum were brilliant calls by OC Sherrone Moore. He’s been amazing at breaking tendencies in big moments this last season. Like against PSU, we didn’t run the ball with power much this season before then and in the biggest game, ran power the entire game basically. In the Bama game, usually when Corum is the in the backfield we rarely throw it to him, usually he’s used as a blocker or he carries the ball, we changed tendencies and threw him the ball in the biggest moments and I don’t think Saban was expecting that

[SmashTheNumbers]

I will say that is hard to judge JJ on one game. It is a stretch to say "he should have thrown In interception", when in the play he didn't. As for the 3rd down thing, both the Lions and the Wolverines here in Michigan run on 3rd and long because they are willing to go for it on 4th and short.

That throw at the 12:33 mark was superdeluxe. WHY is the Ref in the middle of the play? Seems like JJ had to hesitate slightly on that throw. Really hard to draft up a perfect play call that is depending on split second timing, then have a ref as a de facto defensive player that is literally setting a pick in the middle of the play.

[ernestkovach]

JJ McCarthy was named Rose Bowl MVP, for the record folks.

[IamNexu]

@5 minutes its kind of funny the criticism that he didn't throw much on 3rd down, but when you look at the stats (comp %, YPA, conversion rate, etc), the dude was elite on 3rd downs. And this 3rd and long run, which they get to 4th and 1, then they convert... that's winning football. Yeah, maybe you don't want to be doing that in the NFL - fine, but that's a different argument. And Mahommes certainly scrambles a ton.
