Captain Comeback
"It's been a long journey," McCarthy said. "I think it's been 609 days, I think I saw since my last competitive football game, which was the national championship. So, it's been a while of being just in the training room, watching a lot of film, learning the playbook and trying to master that. At the end of the day, it's such a blessing to be an NFL football player and play in this league."
There's plenty of season -- and career -- left for McCarthy, but this was one phenomenal first impression.
"Proud of the group, but J.J. especially," O'Connell said. "Heckuva growth moment for him and one that I had total belief in him that we were gonna figure it out together." -NFL.com

I have a tough time getting a read on him. The other players love him so it must be sincere. In someways it looks like he has been coached up and done leadership training, because a young guy shouldn't be that good at it. But the team responds, so I won't complain one bit.
