Ohio State fans continue to be in shambles.
For whatever reason, despite having lost to Michigan football quarterback J.J. McCarthy twice as a starter and once when he was a backup, Buckeye fans continue to insist 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. On Saturday in 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 decided to push back on the ridiculous notion that McCarthy was limited to throwing short, intermediate passes inside the numbers.

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, as Riddick essentially points out, making fools of themselves.
