Game Day Thread The Official Preseason Week 1 Game That I’ll Turn Off After the Starters Are Pulled Game Thread

But how can you judge his arm strength on what you saw tonight. His only long pass was on the money and dropped by the receiver. All his other passes have been short to intermediate where arm strength is not an issue or less of an issue.

As others have brought up, there isn’t much zip like on that intermediate cross field throw to Wilkerson.

I like his poise and command of the offense though.

That false start is on Ferentz.

Because he's the Rain man. He counts toothpicks and judges QB arm strength on ten yard routes.

That might have been Jones’ best pass of the night even if it was an incompletion ( the first down pass). He threw with a man in his face and threw a catchable ball where only the receiver can get it.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Nice throw on 3rd down. Damn!

 

[JackBauer]

Lol. What’s trolling about it?

Arm strength has been a knock on Jones.

Are you kidding on Harry?

Michel runs better when line is at full strength. He’s not the most elusive guy and you’re asking for injury with guys running free at him.

Jones’ arm strength looks fine.

Soooo close. Mac just missed Gunner.

I don't get how Bill starts Cam this season if Mac continues to outperform Cam.

That is nitpicking. Even Brady doesn’t have zip on his balls on intermediate cross routes at times. And many times it is by design.

Devonta Smith would have had that. Waddle too. Is Mac the first QB to have to adjust to slower, worse receivers when getting to the NFL?

 

[PP2]

Don't bag on Jones for struggling- he is working with the backup OL and his starting receivers are Gunner and Harry.

Agholor would have had that easily, and will. There's a reason Gunner went undrafted. I know he's a favorite around here but he just doesn't have elite speed.

We just need to see Mac with the starters. He has what it takes. He's making quicker decisions in his first ever action, than a 10-year vet last year.

 

[Rob0729]

Or Smith or Henry. That play probably would be designed for a TE in the regular season.

 

[Ross12]

Watching Mac, I keep thinking "damn" when something is just out of reach, etc, but then remind myself "these are literally his first snaps as an NFL player" - he's actually looking pretty freaking good all things considered. Work left to be done, but he's got the stuff, I think.

 

[Ross12]

JoeJuan in the house!!!

 

[Wax Frog]

I'm entertained!

 

[PP2]

Hoyer time. I'm out.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

weeee

nice shake and bake for a guy that big, love it!

 

[Ross12]

Stevenson has some footwork to him.
