J.J. McCarthy Has Perfectly Strong Arms
I don’t know what the mainstream media’s obsession with knocking the undeniable arm strength of my precious, precious J.J. McCarthy is all about, but I have had it, and I am officially banning any indication that his arms don’t possess the “oomph” from any internet commenter silly enough to think so.
Any transgression against this ban that I have imposed (if found out) will be met with a scoff from me, as well as a disappointing shake of my head. Severe cases may even be met with an eye roll. If this strikes fear into your heart, then I suggest you hesitate and think twice before you negatively comment on the firepower that the upper limbs of Jonathan James McCarthy possess.
The only thing that those outside of the Vikings circle should be concerned with regarding J.J. McCarthy and how hard and far he can throw an American football is what he will do to their favorite teams when he is doing so. I can’t believe that we have to do another scouting report-style write-up on the young QB like it’s the spring of 2024 again (well, actually, I can, considering he hasn’t played an NFL snap yet), but it seems as if some of y’all need a reminder.
This kid can throw the ball with hate coming off of it, but unfortunately for McCarthy, he isn’t 6’5 and 237lbs with dreamy brown eyes and often-flowing brown hair like another certain quarterback in the NFL with a rocket arm (Josh Allen); instead, McCarthy is only 6’3″ (poor guy, can’t imagine only being that tall) and his weight has fluctuated somewhere between 200 and 220lbs (pure muscle), who also just so happened to unleash a 61mph missile at the 2024 NFL Combine, just one mph slower than that other Prince Charming QB.
The thing about that is that McCarthy knows that’s why his arm strength gets knocked, along with the fact that he played with the Michigan Wolverines under Jim Harbaugh whom had a great run game, which for some reason, means McCarthy sucks. Shoutout to SKOR North’s Judd Zulgad for the hard-hitting questions and elite journalism.
So what, he only completed 10 passes for about 170 yards in the National Championship? Ever heard of a scoreboard? Ever heard of the fact that I don’t care, and that’s my quarterback? We as a society must pull ourselves away from some of these nerdy statistics and analytical data.
Sometimes for dinner, you don’t need seared scallops and baby spinach with spiced pomegranate glaze washed down with a well-aged chardonnay; sometimes, you run the dang ball and go to McDonald’s for two McDoubles (no pickle) and a root beer.
Don’t let big football media fool you, folks. We’re in a war with the establishment, and they might whack me for saying what all Vikings fans know: J.J. McCarthy’s arms are perfectly capable of dealing doom all over the yard. Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Trindon Holliday, it doesn’t matter. J.J. McCarthy is gonna sling, so sit back and enjoy the show.
