Ohio State fans continue to be in shambles.
For whatever reason, despite having lost to Michigan football QB J.J. McCarthy twice as a starter as once when he was a backup, Buckeye fans continue to insist that McCarthy isn’t any good.
If that’s true, what does that say about your team?
Even now that McCarthy is in the NFL, you often see rival fans posting McCarthy’s preseason incompletions, but not his quality plays. And on Saturday, his first preseason game, McCarthy had a number of quality plays, going 11-for-17 for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, along with rushing twice for 18 yards.
ESPN analyst Louis Riddick first decided to push back on the ridiculous notion that McCarthy was limited to throwing short, intermedia passes inside the numbers.

But then a Buckeye fan decided to comment that this was an easy, routine throw. Riddick wasn’t having it.
Spoken like a true casual that has no clue how difficult it is or isn’t 🤡

Yes, it is just a preseason game, but this was indicative of the type of player McCarthy is and has been during his time in Ann Arbor. Yet, Ohio State fans (and Michigan State fans, too, for that matter) cannot help but, as Riddick essentially points out, beclown themselves.
