From the episode

I think J.J. McCarthy could be a good quarterback in the future, but he needed to sit and develop for two to three years... he throws a catchable ball, which J.J. McCarthy does not.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy needs more development and is currently behind Milton.

The source argues that McCarthy is not currently a better starting option than Joe Milton, suggesting he needed two to three years of development and currently lacks the touch and catchable ball placement that Milton displays.
