Furthermore, he has the look of a guy that has all the intangibles of a dude, and shows enough physical ability on top of those intangibles to develop into a winning NFL quarterback. That’s what I saw. May not happen this year, who knows. It may not happen at all. He should get get there because of the determination imo. And it’s all genuine. Not a fake bone in his body, nor has any teammate ever not been down with this quarterback


We'll see what happens wit him, I don't really care about McCarthy one way or the other, I'm not a Vikings fan so won't really be following him in particular. Not really trying to make any statement about his future, I personally wasn't impressed in this game. Obviously you aren't alone (even in the NFL given they gave him the award).


Yeah, I think the thing here is just noting that the award was given for the impressive comeback, not because JJ had the best offensive game in the NFC in that week. More of a fun narrative thing.

We'll see!!


Agree with this.

I totally get how if you watched this game you were disappointed in Caleb. I don't get watching this game and thinking "boy that McCarthy kid is a stud". The Bears just collapsed on themselves in that game. McCarthy looked pretty awful most of the game, and the Bears complete ineptitude gave him enough chances to get a win.

Like if the Bears don't go for it on fourth down and kick the FG and then make the other FG they miss, then they win this game. I'd still think Caleb played bad and McCarthy also played bad.


Usually rookie QBs on the road in their first start are atrocious, and that includes HOF QBs. I’m not saying McCarthy is a stud, but what he did was impressive.

Huge mistake not to cut Stevenson last year after the Commanders game.

The vaunted right side of the Bears O-line and general penalties make this team tough to watch. The Bears will never win like this.

Silent count helps. He can’t run the cadence right. At least they are on the same page as far as that goes. But yeah he looks relaxed

Unfortunately the cadence can’t be blamed today for the smoking feces hole of the Bears right side of the line

I saw that Caleb leads all quarterbacks in overthrows by a country mile for his career.

Ben Johnson still thinks he’s in Detroit wearing silver and blue. Orange and blue, guy. Just stop.

Like Olin Kruetz says. He goes by what he sees. Not by what he hears people talking about. Attention to details my ass
