Why JJ McCarthy will be a Top 10 pick, Russ-Broncos did not work, Caleb Williams' ceiling | THE HERD

The Herd with Colin Cowherd

[alwaysbeenbrand]

this was incredibly informative! colin should bring this guy on a few more times before the draft

[jferg]

Holy why are people so high on jj McCarthy. He is average at best. Every year they choose to hype up a mid qb. They did this same thing with Josh Rosen etc

[andrewwatson]

He and Klatt are BY FAR the best college analysts

[thesocratescamden]

Is this an alternate reality? When did JJ McCarthy become draftable and Caleb Williams become a potential bust?

[tjayd]

Brock put the Penix concern perfectly. It’s not straight up getting hurt and missing the season, that can happen to anybody. It’s the fact that pretty early on against Michigan and the first Oregon game he was getting peppered and was scraping himself off the ground and going to the tent every other drive. The concern is will his play deteriorate over the course of a game because he’s getting hit

[TeeJGoBlue]

JJ is a different breed. I have not seen a guy have such an aura at 21 years old

Yes he has things to work on, but man is a great prospect

[marksimmelkjaer]

Zach Wilson 2.0. The "kid next door" thing does not always work out

[jasonpacific]

Jim Harbaugh announced weeks ago - dont be surprised if JJ keeps moving up the board.

[newman]

How can Colin possibly say that Sean Payton saved Russell Wilson. That's total BS, Sean Payton is half to blame for why Denver was horrible last year. All he did is dump Russ under the bus and accept no responsibility for not turning things around. He is a joke, people like Colin and the media give him a pass. If they don't make the playoffs this year people would still excuse him...BS.

[legitdragon]

Sean Payton is the 3rd best coach in the division.

[TheCaptain]

The same stuff being said about JJ is why Trubisky climbed up the draft.

[GoatedAtNFS]

only Caleb Williams & Jayden Daniels had to play from behind ALL season knowing that the defense will collapse on them so they had to play backyard football and try to crest plays nearly every single possession. Drake Maye had a defense, just had a bad year which is confusing because it’s in the worse offensive conference in P5.

JJ McCarthy progressively got better with his team, he never had to play from behind or play in a throw demanding offense, so what makes you think he’s a top 10 pick? that makes 0 sense.

[NAT-turners-Revenge]

Jj McCarthy will be *THE BEST* Qb in this draft. Ive felt this way for months now. Why?

I seen the way he bonded with others at the combine, i seen the pro style offense, the coaching, etc

Russell Wilson stats in Denver (with Rosburg & Payton)

If year 1 didn't happen with arguably the worst HC in NFL history, is he even talked about this off-season as someone getting cut??

[vintagemotoseattle]

So glad to see Brock back on! He's a wiz but also is a good listener, since he has his own show/podcast. He doesnt talk over guys.

[deonpowe]

Colin said tht he ddnt believe in jj but now since sean payton may draft him colin is changing! JJ will be the perfect scapegoat for sean.

[TheJakekeller]

Two words. Tom Brady. All about leadership.

[SomChivukula]

Doesn't Huard bear a resemblance to the actor Kelsey Grammar?

[gregorydonohue]

Brock Huard is a great talker. First time seeing him in this role. Great points and great delivery.

[paulday]

McCarthy is 68-3 as a starter going back to high school. Seven years of near perfection is no lucky fluke. All the guy does is win, win, win. The only game he lost at Michigan the offense scored 45 points. He could have run up huge stats but U-M plays smashmouth, ball control offense which held him down.
