There is no comp to JJ. No other QB went 27-1 as a starter, threw the ball 61 MPH (3rd fastest ever at the combine), and ran a 4.58 40... and never played a down over age 20. He is more polished than Maye, and he is younger. He had won at least 6 games bigger than Maye has ever played in. He has every physical attribute to be a starter that Maye has, but he also has a mile long resume of proven results. And for those that think he did not throw... Maye completed 269 passes last year. JJ completed 240. Is that massively different?

JJ can go off-script, positively, as well or better than any other 21 year old. And, his football intellect is elite-along with his ability and willingness to be instructed.
-
Mark Bullock clearly knows what he is talking about. Great guest and super podcast!
-
Boy the way you describe JJ with the way he needs to learn to put more touch on passes and the YOLO attitude I can't help but think of the old gunslinger from Hattiesburg and we're talking 22 year old just traded from ATL ater 1 season Brett not 26 year old MVP Brett.
-
To me the best comps would be a stronger armed geno smith or Brock purdy and the ceiling would be a less surgical Joe burrow. I would gladly take any of that obviously lol
-
I believe JJ has the lowest chance of busting of all of the QBs taken this year.
-
McCarthy played in Harbaugh’s pro offense against a pro defense in practice every single day at Michigan. How many NFL draft picks on the defense? All of them?
-
I'll gladly take Purdy level and Burrow ceiling any day.
-
Is this a premier league analysis
-
High end McCarthy is more athletic Terry Bradshaw middle finish he is more mobile Kirk cousins low end he is Jeff George. Also as I Vikings fan he was Qb and I wanted in draft with penix 2 and maye 3
-
Maye vs McCarthy - Maye had no protection and poor run game. Maye was also asked to throw a lot because he was the NC offense. Almost impossible to fairly assess Maye with that offensive line. I can't imagine what JJ would like if he was forced to carry his team with his right arm and no protection. My guess is it would not be pretty.

Is a JJ comp a non-asshole Aaron Rodgers? Strong arm, smart, accurate, athletic, minor mechanical fixes to make...maybe?
