I wouldn't say its a great throw for sure, but I also think every QB makes these. Especially in practices/OTAs. I know X Nation loves to rage bait this stuff, but its one throw. I believe these are 7 on 7s in OTAs? I've seen OTA throws from various QBs of other teams and you either get 'we're back!' or 'what do the QBs look like in next year's Draft' stuff, lol....and these were on 7 yards throws over the middle to air. JJ has made other much better throws in these OTAs.

Its going to be a loooong time to September! I think most fans understand that Kyler is going to be QB1. Hopefully, by the time Game 1 arrives, everyone is behind Murray regardless of past feelings. 👍 And then the wins come......right?? 🤘

Agree with Sticky that throws like this aren't unusual this time of year, and we'll see plenty of bad passes from both QBs. But there's no question it's off the mark and dangerous. In a game that's not a completion and Jennings is likely in the blue tent.

At least it wasn't thrown in there at 100 mph. That is what I got out of the throw. Too many times we saw 4 seem fast balls when it wasn't needed.

This was more about Jennings being able to make a circus catch off a ball thrown off target and too high, than it was a commentary about JJM making just a bad throw.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Question is, did JJ (the WR) run the wrong route/depth? Or did JJ (the QB) make an off target throw?

The thing that stand out to me the most is the angle the CB (McGothern?) takes to the ball, looks like it should have been an easy pick, but he comes around the ball instead of taking direct angle in front. Hopefully cause it is OTAs he is trying to avoid a collision and backed off. Great catch.

Odds a June thread about one throw in underwear camp reaches a >1 page count:

1 page only: 60%

2: 30%

3+: 10%

The betting window is open! 😃

Throw a little high, but nothing you won't see every Sunday this fall from everyone else's QBs as well. Great concentration and catch by Jennings.

I think it's a waste of time to analyze a single throw made in practice. There will be days where each QB throw 2 or 3 picks and days where they throw none. They are in installs. Who knows what the offense and defense are working on. Real analysis is probably warranted in actual football games.

I am hoping both QB's get some pre season playing time.

No foot kick out like we saw all of last year. He seems quite a bit more centered. I think we can see that. Now we gotta get some 300# linemen to chase him around and see if his mechanics have actually improved or if they'll regress as he gets stressed in a game scenario.

It's one throw where there is a body of work to compare against….

Is this thing STILL on?
