[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 66476, member: 639"] I always crack up when I read people comparing JT to Vad in terms of passing or arm strength and characterize him as inferior in this regard. If you rewind his HS film ( I hope you do it at this very moment) and watch him rolling to his throwing side and flicking the ball down field around 50 yards while on the dead run without setting his feet, you won't feel like telling me his arm is substandard. Try to find a similar clip with Vad. It will be pretty tough to do so. Look, JT can fling the bean. True, rolling to his non-throwing side is substantially worse, in terms of effectiveness, but that fundamental stuff can be worked on. JT keeps his eyes down field on the scramble quite well. He has arm strength and he has a bit of touch. His biggest issue has been telegraphing his throws and decision making. If he makes progress there, I guarantee you, we won't be quibbling about his arm strength. I personally happen to feel that the passing game has the potential to make a big jump, if for no other reason than JT keeping plays alive with his feet and occasionally dumping the ball off instead of fixating on the deep primary target like Vad did to little avail. You can't fake arm strength and the field isn't longer in college. JT has already shown the ability to chuck it way down field. There won't be any TW type limitations there. If I had to guess what we are likely to see from the passing game in the near future I would characterize it this way: Just think of Tevin, but then think of what Tevin could have done if he had 10+ more yards that he could have led the deep guys.
