Now that the Super Bowl is over, the focus for the entire NFL shifts toward the offseason. When it comes to the Las Vegas Raiders, most people’s attention is centered around what they will do at quarterback during the NFL Draft.
One prospect who should be on the Raiders’ radar as a potential first-round pick, but is probably the most polarizing player at the position right now, is Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy.
The discourse surrounding former Wolverine essentially boils down to a classic debate between numbers and the eye test. Compared to the other top quarterbacks in this year’s draft class, McCarthy’s stats are underwhelming with under 3,000 passing yards and just 25 total touchdowns in 15 games this past season.
