adam Posted Monday at 01:48 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 01:48 AM In their last 8 starts each, Nix and Maye are 8-0, and Williams is 7-1. So combined those 3 are 23-1 in their last 24 starts. Has there ever been a trio of QBs from the same class do that ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will give him this year to fail and I would expect them to draft another one or sign a proven vet if he does not improve (which he won't). If anyone watched any Michigan games, he handed the ball off 80% of the time, and was only asked not to make mistakes, but because he was a good kid and the ultimate hype man, MIN bought into the "winner mentality". I also think the league got over their skis on KOC. Solid coach, etc, but a little overrated. Not hard to beat teams when you have a Flores defense holding team to under 20 pts and giving you great field position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s outside the thread topic but I checked out a couple Viking’s fan post game discussions on YouTube. That loss hit them like a hard kick to the Skol sack. The fan base is definitely out on McCarthy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others are probably done with him. He did nothing in college to warrant being a first rounder. Williams, Daniels, and Nix all had the pedigrees. Maye had a shorter period of success but that plus his stature made him at least enticing. Everyone knew Penix wouldn't last with 50-year-old knees.

BearFan PHX Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago This was my early stat sheet that year before i started watching film. You can see what McCarthy was (very) good at and what the concerns were too. Plus he's younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh (although biased) seemed to think he was. That was ALL he did though, he was on the winning team. Just like Stetson Bennett, Georgia was 29-1 the last two years, and he actually threw for 4K passing yards. The biggest red flag on McCarthy was his inexperience. That reminded me of Trey Lance. There are so few QBs that work out when they have limited college experience. McCarthy can still improve but I don't know if he will even get to a Mac Jones level.

adam Posted 18 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Bears Receivers have been hit with the drop bug, I believe they have 17 drops now. If half of those were caught, that would bump Caleb's Comp% to 62%, much closer to his 2024 number, but with an ADOT over 0.5 yards farther.

Hopefully WAS can protect him better and he learns how to slide without using his arm to brace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury was always going to be an issue with Daniels, and now had upper and lower body injuries. Penix also looks to be out for the year with his 17th knee injury.
