JJ McCarthy Is BETTER Than You Think (WOW)

University Of Michigan QB JJ McCarthy will be part of the NFL Draft and the team that drafts him will be getting a talented young QB. In this video, I do a film study on NFL Draft prospect JJ McCarthy.

JJ's true potential was held back by Michigans style of football but he never complained, he just won and he has one of the best winning percentages by a QB in ncaa history. He would benefit by sitting a year or 2 behind a veteran QB but he is going to be one of the best players in the league a few years from now

Now that's how you do it! Too many critics of J.J. aren't peeling back the layers and analyzing his film. They're just talking. Excellent work Jayden. This is how the Michigan insider podcast breaks down Michigan film every week.

He made insane throws all year. Especially in do or die situations. His intangibles are off the chart as well. One of them being his selflessness. JJ was the one who suggested running 32 straight against Penn State. This kid is a winner.

That last throw was special. As a Michigan fan, that was the moment (even though it was the first game) where I said, “oh…we can actually win the national championship this year.” It was clear that we finally had a QB that could elevate the team when needed, knowing that it would still be run-first with stifling defense.

Most JJ haters don't bother to watch tape on him. Dude has made NFL level throws all season.

My friend grew up in the same neighborhood as jj in Illinois, he gets a lot of undeserved hate i would love to see him ball out in the NFL

[StephenPolando]

This is top notch analysis. Appreciating the things that go overlooked by ppl who look at box scores. JJ is going to play on Sundays for a long time.

JJ, Just Wins, no ego, no mistakes or INT’s . That’s what I would want as a Coach or a Fan

[WramblinWreck]

What jumps out at me is this is Michigan vs East Carolina and I don't see UM receivers running wide open. So many times when you watch teams like Ohio State the QB is throwing to WR's that are 10 yards away from the closest defender. So McCarthy throwing with anticipation in tight windows is what he'll see on Sundays.

Great video and I am a long time season tickeholder at Michigan and obviously a JJ fan! JJ not only is a superior athlete, but he's a fine young man and team player! He's alot of fun to watch and I believe he will continue to learn and do really well in the NFL! I will be watching and cheering him on. Thank you for your adroit analysis! Kind regards

[gregschulte]

the people who are critical of Mccarthy have not seen much of him. If you have watched him a lot, you have a completely different opinion. He would make 5 elite throws a game max, as UM didn't need more out of him. He is excellent at changing plays at the line of scrimage and reading the defense. Also remember, he only played 2 1/2 quarters in 9 games as he was pulled along with the rest of the starters. The PSU and Maryland game he was very limited and really didn't practice during the week of those games.

This is why you watch film and not just numbers.

First of all great breakdown! Second what program do you use to draw on your videos?

[aleckfedorkiw]

Great job on showing off JJ talent. Hopefull Vikings can get this guy

[scottsamways]

I was at this game. Great analysis. I like this kid (he is 21) and hope he goes to the Vikings at 11. I am now seeing mocks with him moving up to be picked by Atlanta. Should be an interesting Rd 1 draft.

[CoolBubbaP]

Dang dude, great video! As a Broncos fan, I REALLY hope we draft this kid!

[Zappappappappa]

He just turned 21 a couple weeks ago so he has so much room to grow.

[EnzoMoresi-mjbc]

NFL teams pass on JJ to their peril. He'll hopefully have a year or so to sit and watch NFL speed and elite secondaries to clean some things up but your analysis really seems spot on.

[michiganboy]

JJ is a natural leader and has one of the best football IQ I’ve seen from a college QB in years. I’ve seen him keep composure multiple times under pressure where he made a play happen out of nothing. He reads the field and doesn’t force throws. Sure he may have to brush up on his accuracy and learn an nfl offense, but he makes veteran decisions that some young nfl qbs lack along with leadership that makes him years ahead in this draft class. A 21 year old body with a veteran mind.

[jonathangushen]

Nice work. JJ is also an outstanding individual. Not taking him will haunt GMs for years. Denver seems like a good fit. Raiders maybe?
