Jim Harbaugh: All future quarterbacks will be compared to J.J. McCarthy

Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy is having an elite season.

McCarthy ranks first nationally in QBR (92.6), second in both completion percentage (78.2) and passer rating (195.9) and third in yards per pass attempt (10.65).

“J.J. has shown to be on path to be the best quarterback in Michigan history,” head coach Harbaugh told the media on Monday.

McCarthy’s 19-1 as a starter and has had a knack for leading the team down the field to score points ever since he put on a Michigan uniform.

“He’s had 213 drives, we’ve scored on 130 of those drives.
