There was only one drive that mattered in the entire game. It was the final drive of the first half where McCarthy went 3-and-out.
This is what I've been saying about McCarthy. The 2-minute offense has become very important for NFL quarterbacks. He has very little experience running it at Michigan because he was mostly playing from ahead, with a running offense.
It was one of the main reasons I didn't like the pick of McCarthy. He strikes me as Jim Harbaugh II.
I hope he improves, but he may not. It's an art, and takes time to develop. You've got to know how to control the clock at the end of halves. Kirk Cousins did a lot of things right, but he was a terrible two-minute quarterback.
Lets also not forget, the Vikes were down 20-7 at the half.....to the Raiders.
Id still like to know, with regard to this discussion we are continuing to have, if you watched the game, or that sequence of plays, before you posted.
Whether he's had little experience or not wouldn't have anything to do with whether he'll be great at it or not, imo. Twenty-one years old and he's either got it or he doesnt. The ability to make the plays on a game-crucial drive is similar to whether you want to take the last shot or you'd rather pass it off. I don't see the kid passing it off, but we'll see.
