LMAO....Grok says!

Just part of the fun on X!

One week ago, Alec Lewis was having about how Kyler Murray was leagues better than JJ McCarthy.

Now he is saying they are even.

To make up so much ground so quickly means JJ dramatically outpaced Kyler through OTAs.

Keep in mind that these 7-on-7 drills are the best it gets… https://t.co/yCFmTZe32e

I'm glad we are reading positive press about JJ early in OTA's.

I'll leave it at that on June 12.

Let all enjoy our summers, get this decided early TC and move on to Ravens Scrimmage.

Its all so silly. I don't know that I can trust any source to report what they are seeing, good or bad for either Kyler or JJ.

Not from OTA!!

But enough reports are saying McCarthy trajectory is positive and I'll run with that for now.

somebody should send that to Elon and tell him his toy is broken!

I think it's all pretty meaningless right now. The good that we can take from this is that McCarthy has definitely improved by all accounts. And that is excellent news for all who bleed purple. But being in his 3rd year in the offense, compared to the 3rd week for Murray, one would think JJ would have the early advantage.

For Murray to come out on top, what will matter most is how much of the playbook he can master between now and the start of training camp. He doesn't have to know it completely, but enough to give KOC confidence that with more 1st-team reps, his learning curve promises to be steeper than McCarthy's given his experience advantage. He has a good month and a half of independent study. Given his reputation, this may be the crucible in which he'll be judged.

For McCarthy to win, I think he has to continue showing improvement with layering and off-speed pitches. Given his knowledge of the offense, even a small improvement in his maturity and composure could see him get the job in a genuine upset.

It's really hard to see a situation where an experienced, but still young, weapon like Murray is holding a clipboard, so I still think he comes out on top, but it might be closer than most of us thought. And that's a good thing.

I think you get more info from the QB statements. Early on JJ was the one a bit bristly and stating its the coaches responsibility to coach them, while Murray seem really positive and receptive. Now this week Murray is stating this is tough because he isn't getting all the #1 reps. JJ seeming much more positive and receptive in his statement.

My personal opinion is some of the draft picks lean me towards they were intending for JJ to continue to be the starting QB or the long term solution. Some of the statements lent me to that Murray was the current focus. Granted all of this was done prior to the new GM being announced.

Its all a crap shoot but JJ does sound like he is doing better in practice which is a good development.

I hate it. I swear, politics, sports, pop culture, 90% of the people on twitter are fucking morons. But sadly it remains the best place to get up to the minute news.
