The question is why wasn't McCarthy asked to do much. |

Isn’t that the argument when discussing JJ vs. others with gaudy stats?*" by BayAreaBuck, posted at 20:24:36 04/26/24] There's a difference between not being asked to do much because other aspects of the offense were simply better , which itself is something of damning indictment of a Top 10 QB, and not being asked to do much because the QB can't be trusted with the ball. It could also be that Michigan didn't fully trust its receivers. I have suspicions that the answer to the above is yes. Michigan did have a superior running game, McCarthy does make some cringeworthy decisions and isn't consistently accurate, and Michigan's receivers were rather pedestrian. Frankly I thought 2nd round would have been a stretch for him, so top 10 seems like whatever is well beyond a reach. Maybe the kid pans out but I think the Vikings are spending top 10 $ on a player that will be a journeyman QB.
