Aaron says whose decision wasn't to send McCarthy overseas when he was hurt.

That's a good question.

Can't understand.

What I think, so here's what I think.

This is a guess. I believe that they thought he might be able to play against the Browns they thought where he was with that ankle injury he might

be able to play against the Browns and then I believe that's where there was additional swelling

he wasn't able to practice and then there was something about a wet field I don't know but I think that that's where there was additional swelling. He wasn't able to practice. And then there was

something about a wet field. I don't know. But I think that that's what, that's what happened.

Jason, people that are skeptical of McCarthy being called haters. Yeah, I mean, that's all,

it's always going to happen though, Jason. That's always with any quarterback who's drafted, there's always going to be people that sort of

latch on to the leg of reality and get dragged out eventually.

Go look at the reaction to Justin Fields.

I remember when Courtney Cronin reported that they would be lucky to get like a third round pick as a trade and Bears fans crushed her for that.

Justin Fields a great quarterback.

He showed so much progress, everything.

They latched on to the few good games and ignored all the bigger sample, all the numbers, and attacked her nonstop.

And then as soon as they got Caleb Williams, they were like, Justin who?

And I think the same thing goes for McCarthy, that if you are realistic at all,

and you're looking at any of the things that have been said, ignore even the stats,

look at any of the things that have been said.

Find me a single quote that looks like, man, they're going back to them and they're really like where they're at.
