It's clear the person knows his xxxx, it's just limited to a few plays so it fits his narrative. It's up to the viewer to look into it further or to form an opinion off a body of work. It's good to have both posted in my opinion. Otherwise the site is viewed as slanted. Especially if one member is pushing a narrative incessantly. Thus the high amount of pages.
It's the totality that ultimately matters.
That's why I limit what I post to mostly what I have observed and my opinion. In the case of JJ McCarthy it's been the limited amount of film, working behind an outstanding Rushing Attack and the lack of pressure he faced, balanced with the fact that he was a winner, he played under a great Coach in a Pro Style offense, has plenty of arm and is mobile. It is clear however even according to Phil Simms, that he will need to be brought along and not start right away. He even said that he doesn't see him as a top ten pick.
No matter where he gets drafted, some here will gloat and take a victory lap. How JJ ultimately performs after a few years will be the true test. Look at Daniel Jones... he's still given a lifeline and supported by a GM who appears to have put his reputation on the line if he passes on a QB in the first two rounds.
