0:00.0 | J.J. McCarthy time on the preseason watch list. I mean, Minnesota Vikings, but still, it's |
0:05.9 | JJ. What is what? Who's going to do here? As we talk about everything that's going to go on with |
0:12.3 | Sam Donald, of course, moving on. J.J. McCarthy is there. Their first round pick from a year ago, |
0:18.3 | missed his entire rookie season. Reports have been varied. I guess it comes down to who do you trust and what do you consider offseason fluff? But McCarthy out there, he's slinging it. He can do everything. This offense is going to explode. Well, when you have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and Aaron Jones, we're going to talk about Jordan Mason as well. |
0:38.5 | T.J. Hawkinson's pretty damn good. Like, JJ's got a lot of weapons at his disposal. |
0:43.5 | Always an interesting fit for me. And I like J.J. McCarthy. I had a second round grade on him, |
0:47.9 | though. But I like McCarthy because of his, he meditates on the sidelines. He to be at peace he you know it's all about consciousness |
0:57.4 | and all that kind of groovy stuff hippie stuff that i like but j jay mccarthy on the football field |

1:07.4 | ready and i hope that kevin o'connell finds the right sister o', to me, seems more downfield, big arm. McCarthy does not have that big arm. Don't at me, bro. I was at the combine during passing drills. And yes, Joe Milton was doing drills at the same time, which is unfair for J.J. McCarthy, but he was grunting throwing 20 yard outs opposite playside. |
1:30.1 | So, you know, there's something there. |
1:32.1 | But it's not all about arm strength. |
1:33.5 | It can be accurate. |
1:34.2 | He's smart. |
1:36.7 | That's always a great start for a young quarterback. |
1:46.6 | Yeah, J.J. McCarthy, come on down because the season, well, will it ride or fall on, |
1:48.9 | rise or fall on McCarthy? |
1:51.7 | Or is it Kevin O'Connell, really? |
1:52.2 | Yeah. |
1:55.9 | And the idea being someone would say, well, it doesn't matter. |
1:59.1 | Give Kevin O'Connell a functional quarterback and will be okay. |
2:03.0 | Why would you take that angle? We'll look at what this team did. Maybe the Vikings looking off of the Bears paper or the Bears looking off the |
