I think we are getting about 60% of his arm. He’s clearly not driving the ball downfield.

IMO, that injury doesn’t seem to be close to being behind him.

Not sure what you were watching but I thought Nuss played great. Only “misses” were because the WRs dropped the ball

The touchdown throw while running to his left would say otherwise. That's a hard throw to get a lot of velocity on in general, and he threw it on a rope.

He's not throwing like he did last year, but looked more like it last night.

But I agree its not 100%

He was 25/31 with four drops and had PFF grade of close to 98. God, we’ve got some fans.

He definitely played great.

I’m commenting on his ability/willingness to drive the ball when he throws it downfield.

He’s clearly backing off, IMO

I'm looking specifically at velocity.

That’s ridiculous! He was throwing with more accuracy last night and throwing deeper down the field. He should have been 30/31 for 350yds.

You obviously are talking about deep passes. I believe they are coming. Check the routes.

Yup. He looked like the old Nuss last night.

Right. The two seam passes were an example. We scored on one and didn’t on the other.

I think we would usually score on both.

Tell that to Nick Anderson after the slant that hit him in the face mask.

He looked much better yesterday as far as being comfortable confident and throwing the ball.was more accurate then he has been the first 3games.

Ball seemed to pop off his hand much better last night, but the first few passes were not thrown with much velocity. After he got warmed up, seemed to be a different QB.
