People do not get how freakishly fast these athletes are.  I played TE in college and ran a 4.8 (in 1923-5--during the Calvin Coolidge administration) and that was fast.  Now a pocket passing QB with little "athleticism" is running a 4.86. 

Must be the steroids in the Food Lion Chicken.

How often does a QB sprint in a football game?  How often does anyone really sprint?  WRs maybe?  That is about it.

Can you elaborate how bad it was? Was the ball to wobbly? The delivery? I'm just checking. 

His mechanics are fine. He just doesn’t have the oomph needed for those to be on the money. Both of these throws had the WR had to slow up or wait for the ball instead of being able to continue to run your route full speed and take off once you have it. 
 

You can watch these clips over and over and the only negative part of these plays is the throw. Mac Jones doesn’t lead either receiver. And I think it’s just a physical limitation with him.

Rating arm strength on a 1-10 scale with 5 being average, Mac Jones is like a 6.2.

Slightly above average but nothing to write home about.

I can’t get over the fact that he looks pudgy and out of shape. It not the end all be all, but it really bothers me.

and spare me the Brady comparisons, he’s a one in a million player

See?  I hope we have dispelled that myth.

      Trap game

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
