The TD pass to Anderson was a rare throw. 

This is also not an offence where you're asking your QB to make insane throws a lot. 

rare?

Anderson was wide open, and had to slow up.

If it would have been tight coverage it probably would have been an incompletion.

A rare throw is when your WR is covered but the QB puts it in the one little spot where the WR can catch it.

Don't get me wrong, it was a nice completion, but not what I would consider a big time throw.

This. Darnold missed the throw to Darnold and he missed the throw to Marshall on the out route in the endzone. He should've had three TD passes.

Am I missing something? Thomas had to reach up for it, but it looked light it bounced right out of his hands. I was at a sports bar in TN so I was not super close to the TV, but I was definitely cursing Thomas under my breath…

He barely got fingertips on it. He was wide open. It was an awful throw. It would've been a circus catch if he could've made it.

Darnold moved to escape pressure and threw a ball 50 yards down field... And the opposite side at that.

It was a rare throw.

Hands on the ball should be a completed pass.  Was is a little high?  Yes.  Was it able catchable?  That's a yes as well.

Not how it works, just cause Thomas got his outstretched hand on it with his fingertips doesn’t mean a catch.

 

They showed the clear replay

I thought he had his hands on it and it bounced around after.  It was a little high but I didnt think it was uncatchable.  I may be wrong tho.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
