please, enlighten us as to how a 70yd throw is important in the NFL.

I don’t have time to list the analogies that favor bigger and faster and farther, but it’s like:

at 30 yards that 70 yard guy is flicking his wrist, which they can do falling backwards, and the guy that can’t do that needs to step into it like he means it. That is advantage to the 70 yard guy, all day.

Certain people will always be fascinated by stuff like that. Zach Wilson got drafted second overall based off throws he made in practice. 

Yeah it wouldn’t matter except it does  if you can’t complete 2-3 deep balls per game it makes the entire offense very predictable and easy to defend.

Never said completing deep passes didn’t matter. My message was that a clip of Will Levis completing a deep pass in practice means nothing. Did anybody here ever have any doubts that Will Levis had a stronger arm than Bryce Young? Complaining that Bryce Young doesn’t make the exact same throws as the strongest arm in that draft is ridiculous. What we need is for Bryce to have a respectable deep ball and to realize his potential in the areas where he is supposed to be special. He was drafted to be better than Will Levis in other areas, not to put on a better flashy practice show. He’s never going to be an otherworldly talent with the deep ball so I’m not really sure what the point is. Just like when people complained he was smaller than Cam Newton I guess, you’ve either been living under a rock or just looking to complain for the sake of complaining.

Honestly, if he milton ends up riding the bench due to priority in new England I would see what they want for him. 

Milton tricked Michigan and UT with his practice hype. Got benched for another QB at both schools. Buyer beware he plays much worse. Doesn’t like running, makes bad reads in UT’s wide open offense, overthrows leading to TOs, and has a hard time recovering from mistakes. He was also a 5th/6th year senior I believe. A physically gifted QB no doubt, but it never translated to his game play just like many other great athletes.

that’s a different conversation. throwing the ball 70 yards in the air is not “a big boy NFL throw.”

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
