SI reports JJ McCarthy can resume throwing on April 18
Bummer to miss him at the spring game, but hopefully this means good things for the fall!
Is he moving to receiver? Probably be a generational talent there with his arm and decent accuracy.
Choke yourself
That escalated quickly...
Some people like that sort of thing.
I’m assuming the negs are because people don’t like you for some reason, but I like the idea. The way Michigan is running the double pass these days, it’s not a bad idea.
I get it. All threw a pass. [CJ] threw a pass. Edwards threw a pass last year. You’re not disparaging JJ, you’re commenting on the awesome passing prowess of our skill players. …which is pretty cool.
Don't rush it
Well he needs to know now if he can throw without pain. Otherwise he probably needs surgery.
If he waits any longer, surgery will mean he is out for the season.
If he ends up needing surgery, what a waste these last 3 months or so will end up being.
If there is a silver lining, he was able to spend more time mastering the new playbook (to the extent it's changed from last season.)
Also, if he had beaten out Cade in the spring, Cade would be hitting the portal now to try and get game reps as a starter on another Power 5 team. This way, the battle to see who will be the starter Sept 3rd has been deferred until the fall, when it will be too late to transfer. We will have both Cade and JJ for 2022 which is an awesome result.
Chris Balas, is that you?
Get outta here with that 'waste of time' rubbish. If there's a chance you can avoid surgery, you take it. While you're rehabbing, at least they're not cutting into you. These are kids, they aren't obliged to get carved up to improve their entertainment value to us.
Heart skips a beat when I see “Report” and “JJ McCarthy”. I’m still in BPONE recovery; maybe need to find a meeting
I have to admit, the same thing happened to me.
Perhaps we need a "Good News" tag in front of such titles to avoid future BPONE effects...?
I fully expect his shoulder to be an ongoing problem that severely limits his ceiling at Michigan. Of course he'll go on to win 3 superbowls in the NFL.
That's definitely not the worse case scenario!
Maybe it's just me but I'd rather have studs in college who win some NCAA titles then really good players in college who are studs in the pros but win 1 national title every 75 yrs.
I love Brady and all the guys who have excelled in the pros but I'll take college titles over nfl titles.
This 100%
I agree, and, maybe Lloyd would've had another had he actually let Brady play instead of platooning him with Henson. That, and actually throw the ball before getting behind and being forced to. How did none of those coaches ever think, "hey, we seem to score more easily when we open up the offense and let Brady throw it to these multiple talented receivers we have, maybe we should do more of that"?
Well, it's not like we sucked. We went 10-2 and finished #5 in the country in 1999, despite a pretty iffy secondary.
Uuuuh, that's kind of the point, that they could've potentially done even better that season if they had just let Brady play plus pass the ball around more.
Awesome. Great news!
SI reports JJ McCarthy...
Panik!
...can resume throwing April 18
Kalm
So long as they don't put him on the cover, I'll be okay...
The cover of what? Kidding.
SI has changed a long way from when I was a kid. I'm not even sure where i could go buy an "issue."
I hope he doesn't. Wait til late summer.
Oh boy…Cade is leaving for sure now.
It's gonna be tough when he puts in all this time and effort just for Donovan Edwards to beat him out for the QB job
/s
JJ can move to tailback. I heard he's faster than Corum....
Good luck JJ!!!!
Wishing you a very successful recovery.👍🏈
Good luck taking the job back from Davis Warren!
