And before anything.. No I’m not thinking of Pj being our future QB.. Just thinking a few things..

1. How many QB’s in this draft have a stronger  arm then PJ??

2. How many Qb’s in league have a stronger arm then PJ??

That Hail Mary was a precision drop in the bucket throw with 60+ yards of air time.. Not to many QB’s could do that.. 
 

And for sure no QB on this roster the last 3 years( other then Young Cam ) could make a throw like that..

I read somewhere that PJ’s pass went 67 yards in the air, the longest completed pass in the air in the Next Gen Stats era.

And it wasn’t a jump ball Hail Mary.. He drop that thing in the bucket of a WR being doubled covered.. That’s what makes it something special that not to many QB can do..

How many? One or two on this team. Mayfield has the longest recorded throw in NFL history (an incompletion) as well as like 2 or so top 5 of the longest completions. Darnold supposedly has a big arm, but he never throws deep so who knows. 

I don't know if PJ's air yards beat out Mayfield's record, but maybe? I seem to recall it was 70+. 

I get that people love Hail Mary's, but the only reason it even worked is because the Falcon's DB's stopped running allowing DJ to burst past them. And if he hadn't PJs throw would be late and possibly easily picked. 

This should have been an easy win over that secondary (especially with Foreman crushing it) and not needed a hail mary to begin with.

I would imagine a considerable amount have stronger arms than PJ. Once you start digging into the depth charts you are gonna get some guys that have huge arms that don't see the field for a variety of reasons. 

I don't know that many have really questioned PJ'S arm strength, so maybe that is the disconnect.

This is the answer.  It's not his arm strength that is the issue here.

I think that people really want to pump him up as some sort of savior. 

We saw the same with the Heinickie, Allen, Teddy, Darnold and Baker Mayfield fanboys. Sometimes you are just such a fanboy that you have to make something to struggle against for no discernable reason.

It's weird but par for the course with Panthers fans. After that cringy hype machine with Kyle Allen I just roll my eyes now.

Marcus Mariota was the best QB on the field yesterday. Nothing more needs to be said.

Pretty much...

Arm strength is not that high on my list of priorities for a quarterback. It's not about being able to throw it far or being able to throw it hard, it's about being able to throw it to a spot.

yeah, but that only goes back to like 2016

I was wondering who could have done that and Vick comes to mind. Don't know if he ever connected though while in his prime. I seem to remember in his rookie year, he came off the bench against Carolina and threw a 50 yard TD pass across the field to a FB who leaked out. 

Prime Culpepper to Moss probably could have done it as well. They were launching artillery back then.

We've seen the Teddy Bridgewater experiment firsthand and laughed as Brees failed year after year once his average at best arm strength wanted circa 2013. Have to have ample amounts of both.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
