JGs arm strength.

[DustyRockSolid]

I'm just curious what some of your opinions are on his arm strength.

 

[kayman1]

Strong enough if he isn't laying on his back!

 

[BigBadVol]

I honestly don’t know but he appears to under throw the deep ball consistently. It may be he’s holding it too long and allowing the rec’v to get too deep. Or he simply can’t get it there. I don’t know.

JG has the arm strength to make all the throws. If he can get timing down, such as hitting the receiver out of the break or in stride, he could do some damage. His biggest issue is seeing the field and that could of been hindered by the O-line last year. We will see. He has started to put touch on passes which is something he lacked the past few years. Overall he has NFL arm strength. He just need to sharpen all the other aspects of his game.

Arm strength is great. We need wrs who are actual deep threats with speed.

The line has been so bad they don’t give time for the receivers to get down field. Hard to throw a deep ball with 4 D linemen in your face

 

[bigorangepoppa]

Some of his deep throws seemed to be a little short last season, maybe because he didn't have time to step into the throws deep. When the defense is in your face you don't get to plant and throw.

I remember reading somewhere that the WRs were complaining that he throws it too hard. Looks like to me his arm strength is good. Not elite but enough to make just about any throw.

Seeing the field and and reading a defense would be 2 extremely important issues to improve your game......……………...……...GO VOLS

One of the better overall arms UT has had in the last 25 years at least. The two I can think of that were comparable from an accuracy + strength combo are Shuler and Bray. His arm will never hold him back.

Good point here. He didn't have the confidence to take the hard step up and let it loose. I think he can throw the deep ball well enough, though I'd like to see our offense focus more on the intermediate passes.

Athleticism isnt JG’s problem and it’s often his own fault that he is on his back so much.

 

[njvols]

QB's look better and coaches smarter when they have an offensive line that can stay on blocks.

 

[vols 30]

Yet to see it on long throws. I remember the two or three floaters against Vandy. The Vandy DB's had a better chance catching the ball than the WR's.

O-line fault in 3....2...1

JG blocks for himself now? I read in a thread on here that this is the first year he will be in charge of calling the pass protection. So surely that's not what you're saying.

 

[VOLfrombama]

He was also a couple more hits away from being crippled last year, so im sure it was hard to put any weight into the throw

 

[ATLVols]

JG has good arm strength. His problem has been lack of an offensive line which makes you uncomfortable throwing in the pocket.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Best arm since Bray I think.

It is difficullt to see the field with defensive ends layin on your face.

 

[Jaws]

Adequate arm strength. Not weak, but doesn’t have a cannon either.

Weaknesses: mobility and elusiveness are way less than what he was billed as.

He has some toughness, but I saw him look for soft spots to land versus the three of the better defenses he played; Bama, Florida and Missouri. He didn’t finish any of those games as I recall.

 

[rusty11]

I get that his lines have sucked, but one stat that is good is also a sign that he holds it too long. That stat being his lack of interceptions. It's tough to throw interceptions if you don't take some chances, or get your play read by a DB. It just tells me he plays like its back yard football and doesn't throw it unless the receiver is wide open, or down the sidelines where only the receiver can get it.

If he keeps underthrowing the receivers that we already have..why do we want even faster ones.

BS. Worst OL in Vol history. Not even Manning could have done much better with that OL. Let's see what the kid can do with an average OL (which may be 2020) before placing so much blame on him. With an avg. QB, we probably only win 3 games last year. ANY chance of 7 wins in '19 depends on JG remaining healthy.

That happened a couple times out of hundreds of passes. Lmao.

Some people just parrot what others say, right or wrong.
