Do not buy the J.J. McCarthy hype, Pats have not received 'serious' offer for No. 3 pick | THE HERD 

Listen to Alexi Lalas’ State of the Union soccer podcast: sprtspod.fox/Lalas

Colin you loved Zach Wilson and thought Trubisky was worth the 2nd overall pick lol. You know we can go back to those videos right? They’re still on here 😂

Colin was slobbering JJ for the last 3 weeks and now a 180 night before draft day? LOL color me surprised

“His ball dies” tells me you haven’t watched his tape. He has downsides, that isn’t one of them. His arm is elite

Someone in the media needs to seriously call out this clown

Did you watch the same McCarthy that the rest of us did? Velocity he was second all time at 61 MPH.

Pretty sure the term he once used on Baker was “undraftable” He’s also ignoring that he completely whiffed on Darnold and Lance, so he’s not exactly Nostradamus in QB scouting. McCarthy’s arm talent is awesome. Coaches can fix accuracy and foot mechanics and his leadership is top notch. Really hoping McCarthy falls to the right team and tears it up.

Fortunately for JJ, no NFL scout would ever listen to Colin Cowherd

Can't wait for JJ to prove Colin wrong

Colin you need to watch more film. JJ throws with more velocity and accuracy on the run than many of the 1st round QB in th draft do with feet set. There is NO part of his throw he does better with feet set. He constantly threw under pressure and moved in the pocket. Only 1 draft QB has a higher completion percentage. Yeah: he’ll miss a throw or two, but math proves he misses fewer than anybody who’s gonna he drafted besides Nix. He’s smarter than any QB. He reads the field better than any. He’s the only one with extensive experience calling out protection packages, calling audibles, shifting into multiple variable movement sets…. Few weeks back you complained he was too small. Then you got called out that you were using incorrect stats and found he’s actually bigger than half of the 1st round considerations. Then you shift to a reasonable “not enough touches.” But now you’ve abandoned that and just are making things up? He is without a doubt the most pro-ready QB out there. There is nobody who could be inserted as a starter THIS year and have more success. Long term, I don’t think he has the best pro career. But I gotta find out why you invent reasons to hate on him. And you’re a huge hypocrite if you’re OK with Caleb. Of all the QB, Caleb benefitted the most from playing on his team. His stats are what they are because he was stacked at WR, constantly played from behind and played beyobd subpar defenses. The few times he played solid defenses he absolutely struggled. You can’t apply the same phenomena differently to different guys.

I don’t think McCarthy will be good, but has Colin ever been right about a quarterback ? He’s even giving revisionist history on his baker takes

Compare JJ's 3rd and 4th down 4 yards plus (obvious passing downs) to pick up with anyone in the draft and JJ has better numbers. Say what you want, but he comes through in the clutch.

There's a difference between not getting offers and not getting offers the Patriots consider "serious"

Literally, everything Colin says about JJ from 1:00 to 1:30 is completely backwards and wrong. So laughable that it feels like he is doing it just to rile up Michigan fans for clicks.

We should credit McCarthy's agent for successfully hyping a third round talent to a potential top 5 pick.

Velocity McCarthy finished second all time at 61 MPH.

Colin loved Trey Lance - called SF playing chess vs other teams playing checkers. No mention of that

McCarthy excels when throwing over the middle: On those throws in 2023, he earned a 91.2 passing grade and recorded an 85.6% adjusted completion percentage

JJ made some tremendous throws under pressure moving left.

Coming from the same person saying Sam darnold would be “can’t miss”

No way he’s comparing JJ to Zach Wilson 🤣

JJ was a 72% passer who was arguably the best thrower on the run in college football (and was best on 3rd and long). Disagree with Colin on this one.

Colin doesn't know what he is talking about. JJ made numerous accurate throws on the run without his feet being set. Colin hasn't watched tape or any Michigan games when JJ had to make plays.

Come on CC it's gamesmanship, Pats did not say nobody made an doffer they said a "serious" offer. Meaning, we want more!

I mean I agree about McCarthy, but weren’t you the same guy who hated Stroud and Baker and loved Wilson?

Nothing he said about J.J is true. He has a very strong arm, excels when throwing over the middle and some of his best throws are when he is evading pressure and rolling out of the pocket...... His weakness is touch on deep ball, but that's about it.... Other things that can be concerning is decision making at times, but I see that in every QB in the draft........

JJ has a 94.64% winning percentage your out of your minds he's 54-3 in both high school and College so far ! Wow ...

There wasn’t a better qb under pressure than McCarthy lol😊

A message to the Minnesota Vikings, "DON'T DO IT"

This is the same guy That called baker mayfield undraftable but now he says 20 best qb

JJ McCarthy is going to get some GM and Coach fired in a year

Three years from now, if McCarthy flunks out, Colin will have "known it all along." AND, it McCarthy ends up being a star, Colin will have "known it all along." Not that Colin is the only one, and it's not like they don't all have to do that to remain semi-credible as an 'expert prognosticator' but man it gets old.

Pats haven’t received offers because Trey Lance and Bryce Young happened. Trade up is too risky

The question is if the league is taking the S.F. model of getting a lower pick qb and surrounding them with skilled positions. It got them to a SB along with not selling the farm for a single player.

I think I’ll take Peyton manning’s analysis and insight on quarterback over Colin. Just a hunch. Fit matters and where you land matters, jj with Sean Payton would be sensational because Sean can coach tf outta the qb. From Taysom hill, to Winston, to Wilson, to brees, Sean always gets numbers outta the QB

Colin, JJ will have you slurping your words off of the men’s bathroom.

As a Vikings fan I am praying we don’t move up for McCarthy!

If McCarthy lands in Denver Colin will say it’s a great pick

Colin is wrong

I’ve said the same thing every year there’s a QB that comes out of nowhere and gets draft day hype

COLON IS WRONG

Thank you....Media hype is maddening.

“Unless he has things that every single quarterback that has ever existed needs to succeed then he’s no good.” - Colin Cowherd basically 🤡

You can thank Jim Harbaugh for all the JJ draft hype. To spend a top 15 pick on him is pure deperation Tom foolery... To spend a 16th to 32nd is slightly dumb to moderately ignorant.

Colin brown noses Jalen Hurts so much that he CONTINUES referring to Jayden Daniels as Jalen lmao

Colin out here calling me out with the caffine

Idk if caffeine dehydrates you..

You are correct Colin ! Good take 😊

OMG the take on JJ is like you have never watched him play OR have 0 understanding of this game. FFS he made his best throws on the run! 🤦🏽‍♂️

"he can work, in the right situation." So basically any quarterback...ever

A punter or a kicker can easily be worth more than a point a game but the coach has to know when to kick the field goal.

I think New England is proving his point by showing you need a ridiculous offer to take a qb from them

With all these quarterbacks available this draft Shedeur Sanders will definitely be a back up in 2025 draft he should try to get an extra year of eligibility.

So you just described kirk cousins except jj is mobile, that the falcons just paid 45 million per year to

New England has been quoted as saying that 3 1st round picks is not a serious offer! So they might just be living in lala land as far as what they want in return!

The most inaccurate assessment I've heard yet. Every ex QB analyst whose watched him cites how the ball explodes off his hand. Data: 2nd fastest ball on the speed gun at the combine, only 2 mph behind Joe Milton (who has a cannon). Can throw off-balance, with accuracy -- go look at his first career TD pass. *Routinely* threads the needle, squeezing the ball on a rope into tight spaces-- a pre-req for the NFL where "open" means the DB is only 1 yd. off the WR. This video is full of "alternative facts" and revisionist history, including the list of NFL flops Colin claims to have predicted--guess that's why Colin is running the FOX playbook instead of an NFL playbook.

The Cowboys should trade deck and cover half his salary and give to draft picks for next year to New England first and the second

So happy everyone is giving JJ that Brady/Jordan fuel. Everything is so good right now he needs that “hate” to keep him locked in…

this must be a joke to say mcCarthy is hype. not true. he will be a great qb in the league my friend. the same way that number 12 did it. this is coming from a ohio state fan.

McCarthy had the 2nd highest recorded pass velocity at the combine btw. Only behind a small school qb . Just cutting thru a little cowherd fake news.

Also said Darnold over Josh Allen for a long time…. lol

Wait what position was Mahomes and Lamar picked ? Missed that one

Umm no one will take JJ in top 3. They will want Maye or Daniels. He is the 4th qb.

McCarthy I have zero faith in him being the hyped prospect they claim him to be, but it would be crazy he ended up being a real franchise changing player.

I believe it is timing. Draft day is probably when they figure it out and try to grab that 3rd pick.

Colin, I love you. But the logic of saying that the best quarterback drafted is not always the best quarterback makes no sense. From a predictive standpoint if you really believe that, you trade the first pick for the 10th pick.

I really like so much of your commentary, but I have to agree to disagree with you. I think JJ has one of the highest ceilings of all the QB's this year. He has a strong ego yet is the consummate team player. He has always put the team and winning above his personal stats. He is truly humble and utterly coachable. He is smart as a whip, and quick on the uptake. He arm is a rocket and he moves better than 95 %of QBs. And when it counts, on 3rd an +7 yards, he is better than them all. He moves the chains. And he is a leader, and a winner.

No serious offers will be given without knowing who is taken at 1&2.

Totally agree with this I’m a diehard Michigan fan and watch JJ’s every game he played in college. He definitely is not worth a first round pick the highest is the fourth or fifth round and develop him for two or three years

All the people in here saying JJ is going to get people fired and that he will be bad are going to be wrong and it won’t matter. Social media allows you to spout BS with no consequence. It’s laughable

Shows Colin didn't watch any tape 😂😂

Did you see that throw he made in the rose bowl to Roman Wilson where he caught a HB pass from Donovan Edwards? Jj has grit

Well a serious call might be asking for your entire draft class for three years

If a QB is so ultra valuable then you're gonna see teams go fishing for guys like McCarthy. You just cant go fishing every year or using first and second round picks because you'll decimate your team.

I agree with that NE point but I also think they should be tryna pick a QB to sit behind Brisset at 3.

Colin spitting with that mini water tangent

JJ just isn’t thick, trunky, or have that Midwest ethos that Colin loves….IYKYK

Why doesn’t he do another year in College What is this rush to get to the NFL when the numbers show you clearly need more reps. For his sake, I hope he does a year or two as a backup so he can get his physique in and NFL throwing reps in practice for a couple of years

Yeah what was your take on Patrick Mahomes/sam darnold?

Please Vikings don't trade up. Keep both 1st round picks.

3:10 who is this Jalyn Daniels??😂

he's not ready to start but he has the tools to be elite is why they talk about him

It’s funny how Colin names all these bust and he claims he didn’t buy it 😆 bro we got the tape

Anyone have tape of comments when Brady came out for NFL draft after career at Mi?

I do not believe NE hasn’t gotten offers I do believe that many don’t think they’re gonna trade out so some don’t really bother

Didn’t Jordan palmer just go against what Colin said 😂😂😂

Colin really be like: "every bust in the last few drafts i knew it would be a bust"

Did he say 2 lines of dialogue for 10 minutes?

Penix will be a superstar if he doesn't get hurt. Take away the justifiable concerns that teams have with a guy who had two season ending injuries. Penix would be a top 5 pick. No one in this draft can spin it as well as Penix. No one.

after the "his ball dies" tells me Colin didn't watch a lot of Michigan this year. or last, or the year before.

I think Rey Mysterio is going third over all.

He had to come from behind against Alabama. Alabama was leading late, and JJ had to lead his team down the field. Then he had to win in overtime.

ah yes take the word of Jordan Palmer who said McNamara was better when he got benched for JJ. Jordan Palmer is clueless

New England isn't getting any calls because everyone knows there is only 2 first round Qbs in this draft. I coached Qbs a long time. Jayden Daniels I have as Qb1. He isn't generational, but is a solid passer and a twitchy fast runner. Arm is ok, but his great footwork provide a solid throwing base and when he runs, he explodes into the secondary level. Caleb Williams athletically is special, but the way he plays the Qb position is concerning. Just makes too many things difficult. Simple 3 step concepts with early wide open targets turns into run around playground football where he relies on his incredible improvising skills. As a coach he can be frustrating to grade because there are so many "why is he doing that?" comments on the grade sheet. Of course, you will have an equal amount of "Wow! what a play" with Caleb. His small frame is also concerning. All that being said, no doubt Caleb has a chance to be a top 10 Qb in the league. Drake Maye to me needs a season or 2 to sit and learn. Eyes, footwork, timing, being ready to throw, adjusting protections...there is a lot. He has the size and can run. Just needs more time to learn how to play the Qb position if he is going to be an issue for NFL defenses. JJ McCarthy has to many instances where I am asking myself if he saw that defender or not. He is only 21 and has plenty of time to develop. He needs to go to a team that can afford to let him marinate on the sideline and learn from a season pro Qb. Penix no doubt has the best arm strength. His heavy feet are a problem. He throws way too many balls with a bad throwing base. Doesn't have the most fluid hips so he ends up throwing too many balls that sail. He also seems to struggle with seeing routes over the middle of the field. He is very comfortable throwing deep fades. I just can't see him handling muddy pockets well. Since he loves the deep pass, that means he will need time to let routes develop. He needs to quicken his footwork in a big way. With his injury history and not being a very twitchy Qb, he will scare teams off. All that being said, his aggressive approach to push the ball down field will dictate coverages. Add to that he has overcome so much, he has grit. Teammates love that. If he gets his footwork ironed out, he will be a fun Qb to watch indeed.

Collin, your my guy, but u have missed a lot on qbs. You LOVED Josh Rosen!!

I would not buy into the JJ McCarthy hype… I don’t even think he’s a first round quarterback anymore. He has a strong arm, is very athletic, ran a pro style offense, has good intangibles… but he struggles to read the field when he’s not throwing short, he struggles to anticipate windows before they open, he struggles to throw the ball accurately to his receivers before they make their breaks.. people like to talk to down about Michael Penix because he struggled against Michigan, but nobody talks about how McCarthy struggled against Maryland, or he struggled against Bama 90% of the game, of course, Michigan won the games, because they are stacked roster… But if they were as hot and cold as McCarthy was most of the season, they would not have won 10 games.. I would take McCarthy in the second at best

JJ's stock really seemed to rise rapidly after he started doing workouts for the teams. So either it's : 1. His agent putting rumours out there to hype up his value 2. McCarthy looking spectacular in his workouts and interviews 3. Coaches like him way more than scouts do because coaches see things they can fix whereas scouts don't look at players the same way

Caleb is probably 50/50 a franchise qb. Jayden, same imho. The rest? Crapshoot. So then, who is an almost surefire All Pro player? Marvin jr? Alt? Those are the players worth trading to #3 for imho. They aren't qb's so their value declines.

I think bo nix is Johnny manziel/ Zack Wilson 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why do I sense that the Giants are doing this lol
