He did not set the world on fire. Predicting he'll be good is not different that predicting he won't. Bth are just guesses and there is evidence both ways. And the evidence, btw, is limited at best.
He does have intangibles. He has a lot of heart and a lot of confidence. Being a scrapper might be his biggest asset. His intangibles might outweigh his tangibles, though. At this point, it's all just speculation. There will be a lot of factors that will play into the ultimate outcome and those factors are not even established yet.
And he also had a REALLY scaled down playbook for his playing time.
When guys come in and don't have a strong arm and aren't as physically talented...intangibles is ALWAYS what people say they have.
Well intangibles are good...but in college you have about a 6 foot window to put the ball in to the receiver. In the Pro's...that window is about 2 feet.
The scaled down playbook limited McCarrons weakness of arm strength. That's going to get exposed if he is a starter somewhere...then it's up to the OC if they can be creative enough to hide it.
