2 QBs should go in the first round. Maybe 3, but I dont trust peoples opinions on North Carolina QBs anymore. None of them are JJ McCarthy.

I could see New England taking him at 3 simply because he is so suited for cold and windy weather


The Dolphins, Jets and Bills should send the Patriots front office a cookie bouquet if they pick JJ McCarthy in the first round.

He’s 6’3”, athletic, with a good arm. He was good enough to win the playoffs with a very complete team around him throwing ~20 times a game. Nothing spectacular. I agree with OP. Certainly not ready to be an nfl starter in the vein of Stroud.

Only Penix can sling it and drop dimes like Quarterbacks used to.

It’s a message board. So yes, I have my opinion.

Before the national championship game changed opinions on Penix somewhat, there was a decent amount of material like this coming out:

quote:

“With what I just witnessed in person at the Sugar Bowl, Penix is an assassin and has absolute, total command of the offense and incredible poise, nothing fazes him,” one evaluator said. “J.J. McCarthy is a great athlete but not nearly the arm talent Penix has. Penix is the most accurate downfield passer I’ve ever seen in college, ever. And I’m not exaggerating. Texas had good coverage on a lot of those big plays and it didn’t matter. And the designed QB draws were daggers. [E]very time Texas thought they were figuring out how to stop Washington, Penix would rip off a 10-plus yard run for a first down.”

quote:

“I’ve watched Penix for two years — he can really spin it [and] throws the best deep ball I’ve evaluated in 30 years,” one high-level NFL personnel man said. “I saw Penix in the wind last year at a practice and was astounded at how accurate he was on the seams, overs and deep balls. It really grabbed my attention. But the injury history is super scary.”
