We were all over the place.

We asked about a bunch of questions.

We had two sessions with him because the local had one with him yesterday, too.

And we kind of talked a lot yesterday more about quarterbacks and his evaluation process.

I will say, I think the biggest thing I learned this week about McCarthy was how he evaluated the quarterback position.

The physical tools matter more than anything.

Big size, big hands, long arms.

You know, you need to play in the cold.

You need to play in the winter of Pittsburgh.

That is a big thing.

It's going to be different than

what you saw in Dallas.

I do think one of the big takeaways from the press conference today, and it really has been, you know, all throughout the offseason, is I just do not think this Will Howard stuff is smoke.

I think they're completely real about it.

You know, he praised Will Howard effusively today, and Mike DeFavre did a great job asking him, you know, what does he need to improve upon?

And he said winning from the pocket and, you know, processing defenses and all of that, the hardest part of playing the position, but he's got all the physical traits and

he wouldn't have been a sixth-round pick if McCarthy were there.

I think that's one of these takeaways where just around the quarterback position is, you know, they clearly think that they have a very good developmental prospect on their hands already, Will Howard.

But also, I think they're going to look for another one.

McCarthy basically said as much yesterday that he would be very interested probably in a mid-round quarterback.
