College Mac was absolutely insane. Better than Tua. Dude’s passing efficiency rivals that of Joe Burrow’s. He just didn’t make plays with his feet.

I like Bennett IV over McCarthy too.

 

I think Bennett was absolutely fantastic. I think he was better than McCarthy

 

Stetson (x2)
Mac
Burrow
Trevor
Hurts/Tua

cmon lol

 

*yawn*

 

McCarthy wasn't asked to do any heavy lifting and the schematics of Michigan's passing game aren't great (with such a dominant rushing attack, heavy play-action should be a much bigger part of the offense) but he's also only a true junior / 20 years old and not 23-24 years old like Stetson or Penix or Nix or Hooker or most of these COVID quarterbacks... if you give QBs like Milroe, McCarthy, Ewers etc... 3-4 more years of development, they're all going to look completely different with some refinement to their games...

 

Mechanically, JJ McCarthy is about as good as it gets.

 

(this is not to defend JJ either because he was meh/hurt the entire second half of the year, but it's weird to compare him to a guy like Mac who played with Smith/Waddle/Najee in a Sark offense or old-man Stetson who played with Bowers/Pickens/Ladd in an offense designed by the guy turning the Ravens into a super-powered offense)

 

Penix and Nix are both better than Stetson and far better than Hooker.

 

Did you watch Bo Nix at Auburn or Penix at IU or Hooker at VT? The guys they were at the end of their careers were not the guys they were in year 2 of being a starter and that's the whole point.

 

Yeah Nix and Penix were bad. They've improved greatly. Hooker was always bad though.

 

He also did lose a certain coaching assistant halfway through the season…

 

Why was that, I don't think that was shared in here

 

Fun year but okay seriously wtf is happening next year. It's crazy to me that in a sport where we schedule non-conference games a decade in advanced, its about to implement a radical new 12 team tournament in 8 months even though....we only have 4 conferences now,.2 of which are light years ahead of the other two, and a ton of teams itching for a move.

 

i don’t think it’ll be as janky of a transition as most seem to think

 

I think if they dropped the conference AQ and went with top 12 teams it’d make things a lot easier and better. Especially when two p5 conferences are legit. Two are mediocre. And one doesn’t exist anymore.

 

But if they drop the AQ its gonna be a tournament of like 5 sec teams, 4 big ten teams, one big 12, one acc, one non power

And its like....why? At this point you've consolidated all the big programs and you're going to have conference championship games, which will serve as playoff games no?

I think 12 is kinda useless and unnecessary at this point with the way this is structured

 

Some say Nix and Penix are the new Pickett

 

They got baby hands?

 

Oh boy. Bye bye Alabama. It's been a fun? 2 decades

 

Wow

 

saban wants no part of the expanded playoff or NIL.

 

Oh fuck oh no please tell me they don’t want Dan

 

they dont

 

I’m physically ill
