Wait, I was told Teddy can't throw a ball over 10 yards

45 yards is not a Camnon, but it's good enough!

No, that’s what you chose to read. 

What was actually said is that Teddy dumps it off a lot and seems to have more of a dink and dunk skill set than stretching the field.

In 2019 his success came almost exclusively from short passes. He does not take many chances downfield. This is obvious from stats and watching him play last year. 75% of his passes were less than 9 yards. He averaged 5.8 yards in the air per pass which was the lowest of any starting QB in the entire NFL.

It’s a legitimate concern. His high passer rating was bolstered by short passes, and even when there were open options downfield, he often opted to dump it off.  With one of the best olines in the game and legitimate downfield threats, one has to wonder why more chances were not taken. And for Panther fans, especially concerning with one of the worst olines in the NFL.

This video isn’t relevant to what was said at all.

Wait for it......

Meh, if his past OCs wanted/needed him to throw deep he obviously can. Both systems (Norv with the Vikings and Peyton with the Saints) like the short accurate passes dumped off all the way down the field combined with a PA running game. He simply has done what he was asked to do and did it well.

Look at how much air he has to put under the ball. Every FS in the NFL would have a chance to pick that off

Here's the thing though.

Drew Bree's never had a "Cannon"  and he's been a HOF QB in a similar system that we will be running.

 

Joe Burrow, didnt have a cannon, but was one of the best QBs in CFB history last season in Joe Brady's system.

 

 

As long as he is precise and accurate on the short to intermediate throws.

Or it drops in over a defender instead of being broken up since it was thrown on a line.

I'm not sure what people are arguing over.  He will never be confused with Cam or Josh Allen in regards to arm strength, but neither will Brees or Brady, and people have known this since he cam out of college.

At this point his arm strength isn't going to change much, what might actually change is his willingness to push the ball down the field.  Check downs are a product of mindset, not arm strength.

Holy poo bro, do you watch football? Really?

That ball goes ~40 yards, and looks like it's attached to a helium balloon, and you're using it as some proof? Of what? Really?

It's practice, and Teddy is throwing the ball in slow motion, so much so the fuging nobody equipment manager has to slow up to catch it. 

Even if it was a nice ball, it was still be practice vs the product he has put on the field his entire life.

Posting cringe.

I don't follow your logic. A terrible o line mandates someone who can get the ball out quickly before the pocket collapses. It's one of the reasons Brady has been so effective despite not always having a good o line. So explain again why Panthers fans should be especially concerned that Bridgewater excels at getting the ball out early? Shouldn't we be happy that his strengths help mask our weaknesses or am I missing something?

Isn’t it pretty interesting how you can replace Teddy’s name with Drew Brees and that entire post would still be accurate? Oh I guess except instead of 5.8 yards in the air per pass, it was more like 6.0...still bottom 5 in the league. Wait...Teddy and Drew played in the same offense last year? What?! You don’t think that could possibly be related...do you? Nah...crazy.

The thing with Teddy is not arm strength. I’ve talked to a number of scouts and reporters about this. He has tremendous anticipation, and great touch on the deep ball. His processing generally leans toward the conservative side, and he doesn’t necessarily pull the trigger on every deep opportunity. I think he’ll show better accuracy on 30+ y throws than Carolina has seen in a few years (post-2016)

It's called touch. Newton had a rifle of an arm and we got used to line drive passes whether they were the right thing for the situation or not.
