AI GeneratedThe speaker criticizes J.J. McCarthy's performance as a quarterback for Minnesota, labeling him a \"train wreck\" and questioning his pro-style capabilities based on his time at Michigan. In contrast, Kyler Murray's talent is praised as a guarantee for success. The discussion also touches on the surprising success of tight end Kosa Lumsden in Chicago and rumors of McCarthy's potential move to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Boy, I gotta tell you, we said this right out of the gate up in Minnesota.
When they ended up drafting J.J. McCarthy, I never saw it.
And J.J. McCarthy has been an absolute train wreck as the quarterback up in Minnesota.
Kyler Murray, once he initially signed that contract, everyone knew he was already automatically
going to be the winner of that job because Kyler Murray is not a bad football player.
Kyler Murray has some poor study habits maybe, but when it comes to ability, Kyler Murray
was not going to not win that job.
J.J. McCarthy, when he was at Michigan, there was a football game, I remember in the second
half against Penn State, they didn't even throw a football in that game.
That game was not about throwing the ball there at Michigan.
One of the reasons why I never thought Lumsden, the guy that's playing up in Chicago now,
the tight end, I didn't think he was going to be that great a pick.
He's turning out to be a weapon, Kosa Lumsden, in the National Football League.
That was because the quarterback there at Michigan was not a top flight pro style quarterback.
So again, moving off of J.J. McCarthy, his name is already being floated around.
Adam Schefter even said that the Philadelphia Eagles have shown interest as a potential
landing spot for him, as a backup for Jalen Hurts.
