BM excited that JJ is really doing everything he can to complete a touch pass going from his going into his third NFL season.

I'm sensing a little bit of snark there,

BM, and I think that it is justified. It's just because it isn't his fault. He did not

injure himself. It wasn't like he was skydiving when he tore his meniscus. He just was

trying to play football. But it also is not a

situation where you can just wait for everybody. Uh, it is not like everybody's equal. And if

somebody gets hurt and falls behind in their development, the team can't sit around and go, well,

you know, there's a reason he fell behind in his development, the team can't sit around and go, well, you know, there's a reason

he fell behind in his development. So, you know, we've got to help him along. You really don't.

Like, you got to go win football games. This isn't elementary school where you have a teacher who

if someone falls behind is supposed to help the student get back with the other students.

It's not like that. It's a competition. And McCarthy, as of this moment, still trying to learn how

to throw a touch pass going into year three. I tend to agree with what you're saying. At the same time,

there's been other flawed quarterbacks who struggled mechanically, who eventually

turned a corner, it just took time. And I'd like to at least see, even if there was a, if I told

you, hey, there's a one in five shot that he gets this and it really clicks. And even though

they start Murray, they love where McCarthy is at.

Would you take that or would you trade him?

I think you would take the one in five.

Mama says I thought Caleb Williams was a bust after his first year, but he did show a lot of promise last season.

I agree.
