This is what you get with McCarthy potentially: the presence, the focus downfield, the quick release, the elite arm and the accuracy. This is a pass not every NFL starting QB can make. One thing that never gets mentioned: his release is fast. With that great arm, he can see something a tic late, defenders closing in the pocket and he'll fire this rocket on the money. When KAM mentions on the Draft video that they thought JJM had 'elite physical skills, as good as anyone', he wasn't kidding. He looks like a prototype NFL passer: mechanics w/easy power.
That's also to his left which was 'supposedly' a 'weakness' area.
I've been the kid's hype man, but I have reservations also, but mostly revolving around the time he needs to be The Man. But when I see this accuracy, which as I've mentioned, I thought would initially be a weakness until he received lots of NFL reps in camp, preseason, etc.....its getting me even more stoked. Listen, I'm sure there are throws where its not great, wrong route, etc. as any QB has and he's got plenty of things to keep learning for sure.....but....I'll tell you this is very encouraging start for the franchise. He's got the stud factor.

The internet is terrible where we’re at so I can’t confirm it’s the right throw but JJ threw a 50 yarder against what’s left of our D’s 1s.
If you’re talking about that one he could have put 3-5 more yards on it. Plus the receiver had busted coverage.
I’m happy it sounds like a good camp. I’m just so used to getting kicked in the nuts by the Vikings that I’m tempering expectations until he’s started a few seasons..,assuming we get that far.
What I do not want is JJ to cost KOC his job because KOC is as good as its going to get for our head coach.
Can you see the video I posted? This was from yesterday, not the 50+ yarder you're talking about.

Love it. Have to make it hard on the rookie so its easier come game time. Talk here about why JJM sometimes takes the 2s and against the #1 defense. All part of the plan.
