What did you learn about QBs at '24 combine'

the case for himself JJ McCarthy is other things we learned about the quarterback class at the 2024 scouting combine Peter McCarthy competed and I love that and so did Michael penx Jr those guys competed now JJ's interview there was just part of the whole piece in that he interviewed really well with teams he comes in he is dialed in I mean this is like you're talking about a Pros Pro as far as saying the right things and knowing how to get on the board I was told by one team that he got up on t

he board and was able to dissect things that no other quarterback that they met with could yesterday so that tells you he's got the mentals my thought was all right he answered that question well but this is going to haunt him against Penn State they ran the ball 32 straight times without attempting a pass that's like Jimmy Garoppolo in that NFC Championship game where they blow out the Packers and he only threw eight passes and we held it against garoo like well he only threw eight passes does

JJ have the arm strength that he threw the ball pretty well now he missed a couple I'm not going to come in here and sugarcoat it and tell you he was awesome he was fine the part that I thought was in interesting is he weighed in and he was 62 220 MH I think going in people thought 61200 61 205 so now you're talking 62 220 has lost three times since high school and his entire life and can throw the ball fine and is amazing on the board and is obviously a leader and has done that with a bunch of

Alphas at Michigan it was cool to watch him he was celebratory for everybody at the combine if you see where these 40 It's JJ McCarthy running down and celebrating with him first like I think he had a really really good week um does it make him a Surefire top 10 pick I don't know if he did anything that's gonna say yes put put card right now well that's the thing we're not talking about of course he should be drafted and go on and hopefully have a great career we're talking about him going to th

e top 10 and look we're in an era of of phenoms and freaks physically athletically I kind of want some of that 32 straight times it's not his fault he's not calling the plays but I I think I think he's in danger if there's a comp that that jumps to mind and it's it's AJ McCarron and it's a guy who's a winner and winner and winner and is almost exactly the same size about 62 215 220 and AJ McCarron did not go on to win Super Bowls he had a long career and we love him and everything but that's not

a top 10 pick you fall in love with a guy who wins and there's this oldfashioned thing about winning but like I I don't really remember much of substance about Patrick Mahomes college career I know he put up a lot of numbers Josh Allen's college career no one really saw like I don't really care that much that you won I really don't as a quarterback it's not I don't it's fine I get it I don't think it's irrelevant but like with those guys on the board in top tenant I'm looking at the quarterback

field in the NFL right now I'm like man he won just give me someone who's really athletic do you think it matters how you win in college to the point of like for JJ mccar or AJ McCarron when these guys have first round draft picks around them or for JJ McCarthy you're running the ball 100 times J what was the number 18 different players from Michigan were at the combine yes it was the highest 18 highest ever that's crucify the kid I hate that an awesome guy and I really respect what he did top

10 pick rare air rare air definitely and I was going to talk about Joe Milton because to me like somebody like him you go into combine where you're not expected to be these top guys and you put up some of these crazy throwing numbers how far you throw how hard you throw it it was so impressive and Peter you said it earlier people killed you for posting his 70 yard throw cuz like oh who cares but to me like that's a lot of what the combine is because we're looking at all these quarterbacks and yo

u talked about everybody's a short short fire of Famer nobody really criticized anybody you said JJ missed a few throws but Michael pennick did great B Knicks did great it seemed like every quarterback that went out there and threw the ball we talk about how great of a passer they were how great they looked in the t-shirt and the shorts the three guys that are going to go off the board first probably none of those guys even competed so I look at this and it's like it's fun to talk about and it's

fascinating for these guys to get out there especially to me like a Michael penck junor and show what you can do he's already at the top though so I look at it and you're missing three of the the guys that are the guys but then we criticize a guy like Joe Mel because he threw the ball 70 yards but that's their opportunity when I'm not as high as these other guys I have to Showcase something to try to get in that conversation another really polarizing name I found at least on social media and th

e reaction to his workout was Bo Knicks coming out of that weekend I don't know if it's because the guy played 61 college football games like is it almost like too much of a good thing people were getting on him like oh yeah these routes are fine but just wait until he's like shanding a screen pass it's like don't blame the guy for the Playbook that he was operating with in and he did well at Oregon and he did fine at at Auburn and the growth and the development that this 24-year-old man is goin

g to have and arrive with an experience-wise from the NCAA to the NFL I think is invaluable he had a good day same with kind of same with JJ McCarthy he made good throws he missed some but he had a really good presence about him too and the the way people were kind of ripping B Knicks at times it felt like you go to click on that person's profile it's like oh you are an Auburn fan or organ fan and you just maybe didn't like the fact that he lost a game or to when you didn't want it but I thought

B knck handled himself well too Peter and he he could be a late round or a late first round guy too yeah and he did the Senior Bowl which everyone loves because as far as a competitor I don't think late round I think bonick is a day two pick like I think he's a guy that goes in the second third or fourth round I you know McCarthy we go back to him it's like Giants have the sixth pick Daniel Jones has one more year to prove it obviously like that's gonna be a real for is that too rich six overal

l for McCarthy I feel like I've just heard so many people over so many years say this young man this young man this young man he's a winner he's win I've heard it about AJ McCarron and col McCoy I've heard it about TBO like I don't like that when it comes the first thing that say he's a winner I I understand there's a lot to like sixth overall how about Atlanta eight it's high man it's really high I don't want that big of a doubt that high so the the the overall thought is that in some order it

would be Caleb one and then may and Daniels they all be gone in the top five and then it's this like great unknown for McCarthy pen Nicks Penn all those guys and it's you know Daniel Jeremiah just say we could have five or six in the first round like they are like maybe Nick snicks into the first round McCarthy to me might be the most fascinating because of the chicken in the egg amazing winner amazing decorated career as an individual is he the one that's going to go into a new room and take a

team and lift them and hoist a Lombardi
