Harbaugh: J.J. McCarthy ‘plays quarterback’ better than any QB in the draft

Why does former Michigan and current Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh this his quarterback at Michigan, J.J, McCarthy, is he “uniquely qualified” to handle a major market like New York?

At the NFL league meetings on Monday, Harbaugh said “this killer comes out” in McCarthy when it’s called for.

“Whether it’s good, whether it’s bad, he’s got an extra gear, especially when he’s challenged,” Harbaugh said.

“He’s incredible. Big market, small market, cold weather, hot weather. It won’t matter. I’ve said it before, I think he’s the best quarterback in the draft.
