And this highlight video was posted Summer 2020.
Given he was born in June 2000, and the College season would have been the preceding winter, he was fucking 19 in this video.
And people think this guy can't throw deep (let alone improve his arm strength)…
Given how ugly his deep balls have been so far with the Bears, I think the questions are fair. But I also think people are blowing it way out of proportion. Hopefully he can make a couple of decent longer throws in an NFL game and we can put this whole thing to rest.
You are talking about one throw....
Nah, I’m talking more than one throw. The deep ball to Scott (where they got the PI call) was badly underthrown too, and the deep crossing route to Moore was kind of a weak throw that got him lit up. And the did take him out for that Mail Mary, which was weird.
And conversely there hasn’t been ONE good deep throw to point to, to offset those bad ones.
Listen, I’m excited about the positive things Bagent has done, and the bad throws could just be bad throws and nothing more. But the questions about his arm strength didn’t come out of nowhere, even if they have been overblown.
