MI just screwed McCarthy
- Thread starter Little Kin
- Start date
If JJ plays the way he can he is not going to be in Ann Arbor for 5 years so why would he need the redshirt? He will be the starter next year in and the draft after an all American junior season.
They are going to start the same kid next year, or he'd be the guy right now. Here comes the portal.
So then he goes and becomes the starter at almost any school he wants. Still can’t see him needing 5 years.
Michigan has a lot of big games coming up. If they are down big in one of those games then they have no choice but to put JJ in and he will get his shot. I think this day is coming soon.
i would wait until he proves himself in the college ranks before anointing him the next coming of a legitimate pro QB.
Who said he was a pro? He needs playing time to see him grow in college. Check back at the end of the season. The kid is talented watch and learn. He will be a top QB in college as long as he stays healthy.
A game manager can give the rest of the team a chance to be successful. McNamara is doing that for Michigan. Dalton may have done that for the Bears. Lots of growing pains with Fields. We will never know how JJ would have done starting the first 7 games. He has looked great but they are only giving him limited plays to prepare for.
The more you play the more film other teams have to watch and prepare for you, Clemson and Oklahoma’s QBs had great freshman years and teams got film on them a figured out their weaknesses. Judging a QB on limited reps is tough.
Its the risk reward thing. Chance teams don’t know you or chance of turnovers from lack in experience. I guess we will wait and see.
Going from Naz/IMG to Michigan is a little different than Ohio State to the NFL.
Appreciate all the comments fellas. Michigan is 7-0 and that's all that boy cares about. Good Luck to everyone in the IHSA Playoffs! I cannot wait to watch. Go NAZ!
TD Pass by McCarthy. Michigan leads MSU.
Not sure why MI is rotating him in McNamara looks great today.
Couldn’t say it any better. Great game to watch.
Too many mistakes late. Turnovers and dropped passes are killers
Couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t like the two QB rotation. Very awkward for McCarthy. It’s odd and today made no sense when McNamara was playing well. I pin this loss on Harbaugh. Bad coaching can demoralize a team.
You redshirt JJ and let him mature and develop into the stud he's going to be. I don't know why everybody today wants to rush kids development. Just stupid in my opinion.
And it cost MI it's season today
And it cost MI it's season today
Because if you don’t play highly recruited players they tend to transfer. Also highly recruited players tend to not need 5 years to get ready for the NFL. This is not the 1990s. JJ has helped the team when he has been provided the chance. Playing him did not cost Michigan their season. The defense not stopping the run did. And if they win out they will still be in the playoff.
