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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
