How many starting WRs in the NFL make this catch? Price isn't even off the ground. Did he forget how to jump?

McCarthy's throw was high, but there is no reason Price should be missing this pass.

It was a throw that should be routinely made by an NFL Quarterback.

Given the choice of the two - the throw.

You can't rifle it (and high) to an open receiver. Whoever Van Demark was blocking elevated to block the throw, so the only validation I was thinking is JJM didn't want to have it knocked down. Nonetheless, Van Demark better learn to punch his man in the solar plexus (yeah - I'm that old) and it'll put an end to that ish quick.

Honestly it looked to me slower than some of his usual fastballs from last season. Passes gotta be catchable

I think both are true. I don't think it was a rocket like everyone is saying. It wasn't a good pass. It should have been an easy completion. I also thought it looked like an awkward attempt at a reception.

I'd also put more weight on the throw. Should have been an easy catch.
