A strong arm is a GREAT asset. So is touch, pre-snap reads, ability to run through progressions while under pressure and leadership. We know, for a fact, Brennan has the first of these.

For the past couple years we have heard about Brennan having a quick release and a cannon for an arm but i dont see why everybody has such a hard on for this. What good does a quick release and a cannon of an arm do when you have accuracy issues and ZERO finesse with the ball. He will throw the ball to a running back on a screen just a hard as he throws the ball to a receiver running a slant 15-20 yards down the field. If he gets better with accuracy and learning how when to put touch on the ball then we will have something.

Now i do know he has the tools but everybody fapping to the kid cause of his quick release and cannon of an arm is stupid when his accuracy is so hit and miss. For now enjoy watching Burrow because the chances of getting something of that caliber again may never happen again

Brennan has already demonstrated far better accuracy than Harris. Brennan has to develop chemistry/timing with receivers. And decision making. Not saying he does not have that already.

My guess is Brennan does far netter then we currently expect.

I thought it was nothing

THis /\

The proper touch is way more important for a pass completion.

Seldom need to ability to throw 75 yds in the air = delivering a cacheable ball is a big positive on every play.

He needs to put in some work this offseason.

Kid has played a whole quarter added up the entire season, but everyone knows he needs to put in work. Give me a break

Think LSU will pick up a much better transfer qb.

Keep thinking this..

Burrow struggled with back shoulder throws last season. A new scheme, coaching and time with his primary WRs has made a world of difference. There's no reason to believe Brennan can't do the same once he gets full coaches attention and starts running with the 1's for a full offseason.

While Brennan needs to put in the work this summer, our receivers need to put in the work getting used to catching fastballs over the summer.

More like Brennan needs to put in work learning to throw a catchable ball. He needs to learn to put in on their hands in stride.

A cannon is good for deep outs and post routes, but most of the routes our WR's run are short, and rely on YAC.

I know i know its Just warmups...but damn he got a fastball...that kid got a cannon for an arm

What impresses me more than his arm strength is how fast his release is. I had never noticed it before but in the Arky game there was a play where a d-lineman suddenly got free. He unloaded that ball like it was radioactive. Now the problem is that the pass was incomplete because he threw a fastball to a back that was about 10 feet away. When he learns to put a little touch on balls like that, he'll be special.
