I went back and watched more tape. Maye has an impressive (though not as good as Williams) ability to do more than just laser his throws. McCarthy does have an issue at times but I saw plenty of throws on tape, short and intermediate (and some lofted deep) that suggest the ability is there and has been demonstrated. The real franchise QB was the fanbase of contentious louts we met along the way

Nate Tice breaking down his thoughts on Drake Maye. Is shocked by everyone really turning on him (at least in media) and thinks he has all the tools. Makes several good points. Good point about his UCL tear. He was doing well, to the point where I'm confident the Niners beat the Eagles if they have him, he gets back to the SB after recovery. There are people here and elsewhere who have pushed this 'narrative' and 'bias' with Purdy, and I'm going to have to chime in and say the way people discuss him, there is definitely a bias at play. I do think being Mr. Irrelevant doesn't help him in the media, but there's more going on.

Caleb has way more arm talent, his arm is stronger and arm angles and off platform throws are better. Not sure what in the world would have changed that tape. When I see Daniels or my guy McCarthy, I don't see the same arm talent from the creativity in delivery perspective. Since passing ultimately comes down to completions, moving the offense, and scoring, I guess it remains to be seen in the NFL.

Reading Cooley's take on Maye and parts of it remind me of McCarthy. What I mean is that there's this sense I get that guys are saying Daniels is a fast processor and that everyone else in the top 4-5 is not (maybe they allow for Williams being a good processor.) But when I review tape, not just highlights but the all-throws/runs and then consider the metrics, I'm not getting it (not entirely.) Basically, everyone is inconsistent and will need work either on footwork or on processing to a certain area of the field.

That NFL article mentioned that JJ took the S2 and did well. One coordinator said the rise isn't interviews or pro day but that coaches didn't get a chance to look at film until after the season. Scouts are looking at traits but not always looking like a coach would look at processing, leadership and command in a huddle. Not everything is good in it but I felt better about McCarthy from that section, mixed as it was as it went more into depth about strengths and criticisms.

https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-draft-pro-execs-scouts-coaches-rank-and-evaluate-the-top-20-prospects-in-this-qb-class SocalSkins had it pegged from the beginning. This ya'lls franchise QB?! "At Arizona State, they couldn't get him out of there fast enough. It didn't matter if you talked to coaches, staff, teammates -- they were like, ‘Good riddance,' " a second AFC scout said. "You're pushing all your chips in on this guy. Obviously, Brian Kelly and those guys saw a different side of him. But when does the other side come out? When some real adversity strikes in the league and he's starting to get peppered and you've got people wanting to kick his ass, it'll be interesting"
