It is not that it would not do any good it’s obviously that Daniel‘s and his entourage believe that his weight is going to hurt him and that is why he did not get measured today. This to me is a pretty clear red flag.
I believe at the end of the season he was listed at 6'3 and 203. He's now 6'3 and 219. So he added 16 pounds since the National Championship Game and the Combine (and it was muscle he added). From all the pics I saw of him during the season, the dude had some serious biceps at 203 pounds.How much weight did he gain in how much time?
So about 2.1# of muscle per week? Wow!I believe at the end of the season he was listed at 6'3 and 203. He's now 6'3 and 219.

Is there a reason you are looking only at one season? If you look at their careers, Maye has 1,800 more yards, 14 more TD's with 5 more INT's.Half the ints than Maye with only 2 less TDs, almost 9% better completion rate than Maye, 18 point higher QB rating than Maye.Frankly, it's Maye that I think is way overrated.
Stiller killed it in this movie.
We can’t trade back too far.We could trade back to get McCarthy, but the danger in that is a team could leapfrog us when we trade back and that team takes him before we can.
Well it’s good to see some alternative opinion on JJM. Just purely viewing this forum even I’m getting second hand high off this kids farts.Lazar not sold on JJ.
My bottom line with McCarthy is this: if you're a team with a playoff-caliber roster that feels it can compete with a Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, or Baker Mayfield-level quarterback, then McCarthy can be that. However, if you need a quarterback to change the fortunes of your franchise as the Patriots do, then McCarthy isn't that, and the league sees the success of the 49ers, Lions, and Bucs and thinks, why not us?
New England's quarterback dilemma starts and ends with Daniels and Maye. From this perspective, McCarthy only becomes a serious consideration in a trade down scenario where the Pats take a non-quarterback in the first round and then target McCarthy later, with the same going for Penix, who also helped his stock this week.
J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
McCarthy threw the ball during workouts exactly the same way he does on film. There are some pretty throws, but I'm still seeing a passer who struggles to control the ball on drive throws because he's putting too much on it, leading to the ball sailing on him over the receivers head. He also struggled a bit with his consistency on go routes. I just do not see a very accurate passer. If he proves me wrong, I'll be the first to admit it.
Michael Penix, Jr., Washington
The real win for Penix was that teams believe his injury history is behind him, and there aren't many concerns about his health moving forward. During interviews, scouts were also impressed with Penix, as he's touted as a high-character guy and natural leader. On the field, as it always does, the ball exploded out of Penix's hand with good zip. He was the most impressive thrower in these drills. We should discuss him as an option for the Patriots at No. 34.
Bo Nix, Oregon
Nix is the accurate game manager who will be available in the second round, which is the proper time to take that skill set. Nix lacks arm strength but was consistent with his accuracy, which is why the pro comparison you hear the most with him is Alex Smith. Like McCarthy, the Pats should aim higher than Nix, but he could work for the right team.

McCarthy didn't even average 200 yards per game.
Yeah, you kinda were.I didn't have any ulterior motives. I wasn't cherry-picking.
No, it kinda doesn't. A 2 year sample is going to give a clearer picture than a 1 year sample.I just picked their most recent season because that gives the clearest picture of where they are right now.

I don’t think you can be a great leader with a bad character and not liked by teammates even tough he might be a good qb in the nflBeing unlikeable has nothing to do with how likely he is to be good at football. People are just hoping he's a bust.
Mac Jones was pretty good his rookie year and a hot mess last year. I think his performance last year is the most relevant and I don't think his performance the years before that should be the basis for any draft decisions. Same principle.Yeah, you kinda were.
