J.J. McCarthy is out 2-4 weeks, per @AdamSchefter
That would put him out for Week 3 vs. Bengals and Week 4 vs. Steelers in Dublin.
So do they bring him to Europe to continue recovery and have him start Week 5 vs. Browns in London?
Or do they sit him through the Week 6 bye?
I'm all for having him sit until week one of the 2026 preseason. I saw nothing that says he is ready to play in the NFL.
Really? Didn't you compare him to Baker after his first start? I bet I can find the post.
How good do you think Baker is?
I did say he had a little Baker Mayfield in him after the opening game. This week I saw JaMarcus Russell.
Quite a wide range in 2 weeks....don't you say?
A little Baker Mayfield. A lot of JaMarcus Russell through two weeks.
Key word....LITTLE
And for clarification, it isn't two weeks. It's his second season. He's also got a lot of Sam Bradford (injuries) in him.
After a year and two games, that's about right.
Well … he wasn’t a draft bust warming the bench for four or five seasons after flaming out, like Darnold.
JJM’s injury stopped any real chance for on field development.
So no, he’s played two games.
I’m not going to make excuses for him, JJM has flamed out for 7 of 8 qtrs his quasi-rookie season. Against what looks like one horrible and one not good team. Period.
And he’s injured again, further diluting his development. Although for my money, its almost like a well-deserved benching after the ATL game … give him a chance to REALLY see how bad he was doing.
The one good quarter is significant though, or might be, even if it was against the bears. It doesn’t make up for being lousy, but it may indicate something that can be worked with. At some point.
This team is in trouble with or without JJM, another year of Darnold, or trade for Cousins. Not just from injuries either. It feels like both KOC and Flores have started really slow calling games around concepts they want to install, not around the new roster mix that was created this offseason.
It would be nice to see the team / staff calm down, play through it, make adjustments and start improving into a good team. Which has never happened under KOC. He gets them out of the gate and steady for 14-15 games before they dwindle and collapse.
It would also be good to see JJM plugged into a team that isn’t making his life hell, hard to tell how bad or good he’s going to be down the road, playing for the team didnt show up the first two games.
